Ithaca College

Do you currently have a vacancy in your room?

If so, you have multiple options! Students living in the Terraces, Emerson Hall, Clarke Hall, apartments and FYRE buildings may request to buyout a space in their room.  

Each resident with a vacancy in their room can pay $643 to buyout one vacancy in the room for the entire year or you can fill out a vacancy request form to pull someone into your room. If you do not have a friend to pull into your room or do not want to buy the space out, we will offer your vacancy to students on the spring wait list, house someone returning back to campus this spring, or being admitted to campus this spring. Both forms are available in our office on the lobby level of the East Tower.

Do you anticipate a vacancy in your room for the spring semester?

We will continue to offer buyout and vacancy requests for the spring semester as well.  Vacancy requests forms for vacancies starting in the spring semesters will be available in our office located on the lobby level of the East Tower between December 1st and December 16th.  We strongly recommend you complete a vacancy form indicating the individual you would like to pull  into your room in the event that a space opens, whether you anticipate a vacancy or not because we will use rooms that do not have a vacancy or buyout requests on file to house student returning to campus  for the spring semester.   We will not give notice that we are housing a student in your room for the spring semester over the winter break.

Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing housing@ithaca.edu or calling our office at 607-274-3141.
