Ithaca College

Many departments are currently making arrangements for staffing for fall opening. Some offices will need to bring their student workers back early to support opening operations. Please review our guidelines as you begin to plan.

We encourage you to provide meal arrangements for any employees you are bringing back early. If your department wishes to make meal plan arrangements, please contact the Office of Conference and Event Services.

Otherwise, please notify your students that they can purchase an individual meal plan through Conference and Event Services. Students who do not have special arrangements cannot eat in the dining hall until brunch on Sunday, August 23.

Offices and supervisors are asked to bring student workers back to campus no earlier than necessary and as close to the official opening date of August 23, 2009, as possible.

1. "Early arrivals" are any students whom you will require to arrive on campus prior to the regular check-in date of August 23, 2009. If you send an e-mail request for early arrival student workers, please include only the names of those students whose early arrival is necessary for the operation of your department during fall opening and who are on-campus residents.

2. To schedule a student to arrive early, please e-mail the following information in to breakhousing@ithaca.edu:

• Student's name
• Student's ID number
• Date of arrival
• Reason for return (e.g. department working for)

3. Check-in for early arrivals will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 16. Students may not move in to their fall campus residences before this time. Early-arrival students may check in at the appropriate area or satellite office from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day. The satellite offices are as follows:

• Terraces 1-12: Terrace 7 area office (room 100)
• East and West Tower: Terrace 7 area office (room 100)
• Hood/Holmes/Hilliard/Eastman: Quads area office (Eastman 102)
• Landon/Bogart/Lyon/Clarke: Quads area office (Eastman 102)
• Rowland/Boothroyd/Tallcott: Quads area office (Eastman 102)
• Emerson Hall: Summer housing office (Emerson lobby)
• Garden Apartments: Summer housing office (Emerson lobby)

4. Requests to arrive early for student employment must be submitted by the student's supervisor. Requests for academic requirements or sponsored participation must be submitted by the department. Requests for athletic practice or participation must be submitted by the Office of Intercollegiate Athletics. Requests for ROTC must be submitted by the student's commanding officer.

5. Student employees living in Rowland and Garden 27 this summer will need to vacate their rooms by noon on Friday, August 14. Those student employees who live in Rowland and Garden 27 and need to work for you between August 12 and the regular check-in dates will be approved to move into their fall housing assignments between 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12, and noon on Friday, August 14. (Please designate such students with the code "SE.")

6. Early-arrival requests must be submitted to the Office of Residential Life by Friday, July 17, at 5:00 p.m. Late requests may not be considered. Requests for fall 2009 will not be reviewed for approval until late July. Only where a clear requirement exists for a student to be on campus early will approval be extended. 

7. Please note that students living in the Circle Apartments may move into their space as early as Saturday, August 8, and so do not need early-arrival requests.

8. RAs are automatically approved to arrive the day prior to the date that training will begin. If an RA needs to arrive earlier, they must contact their RD.
