Driving: The City of Abilene is located on I-20. ACU is on the north side of town, just a mile from the Interstate.
Take the Ambler Street exit towards town and ACU (you should be able to see the Tower of Lights from the Interstate). Turn left onto Judge Ely Blvd. Immediately past the ACU Baseball Field you will see the enterance to the University Park Apartments.
If you have arrived before Sunday afternoon, please drive to Building 9 to locate Don Carlile. He will have your room assignment and key.
If you have arrived in time for registration (Sunday from 1:00-5:00), then proceed down Judge Ely to the main enterance of ACU. Enter there and make your way to the Hunter Alumni and Welcome Center, located between the University Park Apartments and the main entryway. The Singing School staff will be inside, operating the registration process.
Flying: Abilene is not only served by a small local airport, but also by Midland International Airport (164mi), Lubbock International Airport (170mi), Dallas-Ft. Worth (174mi), and Love Field (184mi). If you plan to fly directly into Abilene, let us know your flight information and we will arrange for your pick up and for your ride back to the airport at the end of the week.
When to Arrive: Registration for The Singing School is from 1:00-5:00 on Sunday afternoon, but we'd love to have you here as early as we are so that we can get to know you before The Singing School starts. Even better would be if you could participate in the Annual Worship Leaders' Conference which preceeds The Singing School. In that event, plan to be here Friday afternoon (the Conference begins at 7:15PM).
Be advised, however, that your tuition only covers room and board from Sunday afternoon through Friday at lunch. Additional nights in the University Park Apartments cost $15/person and meals are on-your-own. There are several resturants in the vicinity of ACU.
Planning Your Departure: We urge every student not to make plans to begin your trip home before noon on Friday. The Singing School will not end until that time. The noon meal on Friday will be the last meal on your cafeteria meal ticket. If you have a plane to catch and need a ride to the Abilene Regional Airport, we must know by Friday morning to arrange travel for all of our fliers.
