Getting to the school from the airport
Kaplan transfers A staff member, shuttle service employee, or your host family will be waiting for you at San Francisco International airport (SFO) or Oakland airport (OAK). They will be holding a Kaplan sign. Before your departure you will receive a welcome packet confirming this information.
If there are any problems, you should call the transfer service at 1-888-863-2482. You can also call Kaplan Berkeley's 24-hour phone numbers: 1-916-535-1767 or 1-888-331-2809. Be prepared to tell them your name, location, and the problem you have encountered.
Independent transfers Students who opt not to use the transfer service should take a BART transport from San Francisco to Berkeley. The BART has a stop inside of the International Terminal at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), making it very convenient for students.
If students use BART, they are advised to take a Dublin Pleasanton Train to the Balboa Park station. Here students should exit and transfer to the Richmond Train, then exit at the Downtown Berkeley Station. From here the Kaplan International school is across the street. The ride time is approximately one hour.
