Admitted international students who have paid their I-901 fee will receive an email approximately one month before the start of the semester. This email will include details on how to request an airport shuttle from the St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL).

The closest airport to Rolla is the St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL). You will clear immigration at the Port of Entry into the United States and then transfer to a domestic flight to St. Louis Lambert Internatioanl Airport (STL). There are a limited number to direct international flights into STL, so your Port of Entry will most likely be another airport in the U.S. 

Please remember to book the final destination of your flight to the STL airport so you do not have access baggage charges as your transfer from an international flight to a domestic flight. Please allow for at least 4 to 5 hours for your layover to clear customs and boarder portal.
