Please note that the College does NOT offer a shuttle service from the airport to the campus. The airport does have a number of taxi and airport shuttle services available outside of the baggage claim area. Information about rates for shuttle and taxi services can be found at http://www.chs-airport.com/taxi.htm.

Parking Information

Parking is very limited in downtown Charleston. We recommend that visitors to the campus use the city parking garages located at on St. Philip St. (off Calhoun Street or the one between George and Liberty Sts.) or the Wentworth Street garage at the corner of Wentworth and St. Philip street (enter from Wentworth street side). The cost is $10.00-$16.00 per day, but you may also pay by the hour. Hourly parking meters are available around the campus but limited. We are unable to validate parking during Orientation -early arrival is suggested. Please do not park in faculty/staff parking to avoid a parking ticket or towing. Also, check ou the Downtown Charleston Parking Guide.

Contact the Parking Services office for more details regarding on and off campus parking options during the academic year.
