Arrival Location & Time:
Please visit our website to learn more (https://www.uscga.edu/visit/). Major airports in the vicinity are Bradley International & T.F. Green. Staying in Mystic, CT is my personal recommendation. The event will be held in Leamy and parking will be in the R-Lot. There will be signs directing you there once on campus. Please account for 5 minutes of walking to registration. If you arrive earlier and wish to have coffee or breakfast, you are welcome to visit the Student Center Café for coffee or the Dry Dock Café for breakfast, both located in Leamy Hall. The USCGA is a military facility. As such, all visitors are required to provide a valid driver’s license. Minors under the age of 18 are able to access the campus without a passport or license as long as their guardian has a valid ID.
