    Aug 25, Jekyll Island Summer Wave trip

    Posted by Stephanie Li on 24th August 2012

    Depart from JO’s at 9 a.m.

    The ISSO will pay for the Summer Wave tickets and provide the lunch.

    Attached is a  Map of Jekyll Island to help you get your bearings on where things are. The island is not huge, but you can’t walk it all in one day either! The drive will be about 1 ½ hours each way, leaving approximately 5 hours for you all to enjoy the island as you like.

    If you are planning on hanging out at Summer Waves Water park, I’ve heard a lot of comments about people burning their feet on the hot cement when moving around, so it might be a good idea to bring flip flops you can carry on the rides or wear water shoes.

    If you’re not sure yet what you will want to do, you can visit http://www.jekyllisland.com/ for a full list of activities and most have websites that will tell you the cost.

    What to bring depends on what you plan to be doing (but everyone wear sunscreen!). Please note the bus probably will not be where you are for the full day, but you may leave items in it you do not want to carry around.

    Preparation for DDS Trip for Friday, August 24

    Posted by bserrano on 23rd August 2012

    Due to recent changes in Georgia law that took effect July 1, 2012, driver’s license and state ID applicants are required to present two proofs of residence in Georgia in addition to all other required materials.

    In preparation for the trip to the Department of Driver’s Services tomorrow, August 24, students need to contact their bank representative to request their second proof of residence.

    Bank of America customers should call or visit William Park to request proof of residence:

    William Park
    912.652.6452
    22 Bull Street

    Wells Fargo customers should call or visit John Ignac to request proof of residence:

    John Ignac
    912.652.6308
    136 Bull Street

    For tomorrow’s trip to the DDS students should gather and bring the following documents:

    • I-20
    • I-94 Card
    • Passport
    • SCAD Housing License
    • Bank Letter with Proof of Residents (Students who request these letters from their bank representatives today, will have their letters picked up by ISSO staff from the bank by tomorrow morning.)
    • Social Security Denial Letter (Students who have not had a chance to obtain this letter will be transported to the Social Security Administrative Office in route to the DDS.)

    Students who plan to take the written exam tomorrow can prepare for the test using the following online manual: GA Driver’s Test Manual

    More information about the DDS, driver’s test, state ID, etc. can be found on the DDS website
