Except for the Circle Apartments, all residence halls close at 3:00pm on Saturday, May 14, 2016. Residents of the Quads, Towers, Emerson, Terraces, Boothroyd and the Garden Apartments must vacate their rooms by that time (including removal of all personal property).

Student supervisors, faculty, and IC staff members must submit requests for their students who are required to remain on campus to fulfill student employment, academic, athletic or commencement-related responsibilities during Commencement Week (e.g., Commencement Concert, Senior Week Volunteer, post-season competition).

Individual students may submit a request for reasonable accommodation of their personal need (e.g., transportation). Additional details will be required to request more than one additional day to accommodate any personal need. Please note that the unavailability of housing at any non-Ithaca campus destination (e.g., off-campus sublet, summer internship/employment) is ineligible for Commencement Week approval.
