For both undergraduate and graduate students, full-time status during the summer sessions is defined as enrollment in 6 credits of classroom instruction during any session. Enrollment in 3 credits in session I and 3 credits in session II is considered part-time status. For purposes of federal and institutional financial aid, the definition of full-time status for undergraduate students is enrollment in a cumulative total of 12 credits during the summer; for graduate students, it is 9 credits. New York State programs define a full-time student as one who is enrolled in a cumulative total of 12 credits during the summer.

Students are limited to 4 credits of classroom instruction during the May session and 7 credits during each summer session (I and II). If a student registers for more than these stated limits in any one session, the College reserves the right to remove the student from a course. Students may register for an internship or independent study as long as they do not register for more than a cumulative total of 15 credits during the summer.
Courses offered during summer sessions may not be audited. However, students may register for certain workshops on a non-credit basis.
Students who are suspended, dismissed, withdrawn, or on leave of absence from any school at Ithaca College are not eligible to enroll in summer session courses.
