Ithaca College

All campus residents except for graduating seniors, Resident Assistants, and Circle Apartment residents are required to vacate their rooms before 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 12, 2018 unless they receive written approval to remain from the Office of Residential Life.   As you begin to plan for Commencement/Senior Week 2018, please keep in mind the following on-campus housing guidelines. 

If an individual student needs to remain after the move out deadline the student must submit a request for reasonable accommodation of their personal need (e.g., transportation delay). 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. 

If a student is 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), your supervisors, faculty, coach, and IC staff member associated with that reason must submit a request for the student to remain longer.  They will need your email, ID number and departure date to submit the form. 

Beginning, Monday, April 2, 2018 you are able to request to stay for Commencement Week, visit this web page:

Important Notes: 

• The deadline to submit your Commencement Week request is 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, May 3, 2018. Late requests may not be considered. 
• Only current campus residents are eligible to be housed on campus during Commencement week. Graduating seniors who are currently away from campus will be notified separately as to how to request on-campus housing. 
• Students remaining on campus for Commencement Week are not required to be on a meal plan. Meal plans will only be automatically extended for students asked to stay by the Commencement Committee. 
• Students who are fulfilling commencement-related responsibilities are expected to check out no later than 24 hours after their last shift. 
• Students who are participating in post-season athletic competition are expected to check out no later than 24 hours after their last competition. 
• A limited amount of on-campus housing is available for Ithaca College students who are employed on campus full time during the summer. Arrangements for summer employee housing can be made through the Office of Conference and Events Services. Summer housing will be offered beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 20, 2018. For more information, contact the Office of Conference and Events Services at (607) 274-3313. 

Unapproved students who are found in a residence hall after the date and time at which they were expected to check out are subject to a $100.00 unauthorized presence fine and judicial action.
