The purpose of this communication is to call attention to various modifications of the Ithaca College Parking Policies. In the interest of affordability and efficiency, the Parking Services team, in collaboration with the College’s formal Parking Policy Committee, conducted research and benchmarking in order to assess the current policies and identify potential areas for improvement. This communication highlights those modifications which were approved for implementation beginning with the 2014 – 2015 academic year.

Modifications are as follows:

Policy Modifications

• Late Fee - $25.00 - A late fee is added to each parking citation that is unpaid within thirty calendar days.
• Students who purchase a full year permit who will not be returning to campus and/or choose not to bring their vehicle to campus for the spring semester are eligible for a refund of 50% of the purchase price if they return their permit to Parking Services no later than the Friday of the first full week of the spring semester.
• Upper class students can opt to purchase a permit for each semester at 50% of the price for the full year. No refunds are available for semester permits.
