Flight Plans: Please contact your Admission Counselor with airline, flight number, date and time of arrival. Arrangements will be made to meet, greet and transport you from the Point Salines International Airport to campus.

Passport: A passport is required. If you do not have a passport, you should apply immediately. Students residing in the United States who are not US citizens should obtain visas for return to the United States before flying to Grenada.

The University supplies students with verification of enrollment (bona fide student letters). Bring this letter with you, as you may need it.

Have the following items in a folder and keep them with you in your bag or carry-on luggage. Do not put these items in your checked luggage, as during heavy travel periods your luggage may take a detour. Additionally, many of these items are required at check-in for your flight.

a. Airline tickets

b. Passport

c. Immigration Letter (where applicable)

d. Prime Minister Letter (where applicable)

e. Acceptance Letter

f. Registration Voucher

g. Paid receipts on purchases made outside of Grenada
(computers, appliances, cameras, etc.)

h. Enough cash to pay the taxes on dutiable items you are bringing into the country.  Without a receipt, duty is at the discretion of the customs agent. Rates are 5% on books, 5% on computers and 40-60% on most other items. Items that must be declared and that usually are taxed are electronics and computers. Things like clothes and books are usually not taxed when brought in your luggage, though they often are taxed if mailed.

i. Student Manual

j. Orientation Book

k. CPR/First-Aid certification cards (if applicable) .   If you are currently CPR/First-Aid certified, be sure to bring your cards with you. Certification is required for all medical students. Certification is provided by the School within the first weeks of the term, but a fast-track alternative is offered for students with current certifications.

l. Prescription medications

Luggage:
All airlines have guidelines for the number, weight, shape, and size of carry-on and checked baggage. Make sure your carry-on does not exceed the size limitations. You will be charged for any additional weight and, at certain times of the year, extra baggage is not allowed. Also, American Airlines often has a "box embargo," meaning that nothing can be brought in a cardboard box - find a duffle bag or some other luggage into which to put the box. Remember to contact the airline of your choice for details before leaving for the airport. Call the particular airport of departure for this information, as general airline numbers may not provide accurate information.

Upon Arrival at the Airport:

a. Have your passport and all important documents ready when going through customs. Tip porters US $1-2.

b. Once you have gone through customs, you will be greeted by the Orientation team members of St. George's University and accompanied to your dorm.*

If you encounter travel difficulties while en route, call the following emergency number:
(473) 444-3898.

If you have any questions before leaving, please call your Admission Counselor.
