Dear Student:

Ithaca College is a residential community. All full-time, non-senior students are required to live on campus, unless they receive written approval from the Office of Residential Life for off campus status. Students are strongly encouraged not to sign a lease until written approval is provided.

There are several categories of students who are exempt from the college's Residency Policy. These are current students who can provide legal proof that they are:

• 23 years of age or older
• reside with a parent or legal guardian uring the academic year and within 60 miles of campus
• married or in a domestic partnership
• have dependent children

Incoming transfer students with two or more years at another college or university are also exempt, but only prior to being assigned and checking into on-campus housing.

In this guide, you will find valuable information on what to consider before moving off campus, and a current listing of advertised properties.

Sincerely,

Jen Richardson
Assistant Director for Housing Services and Communication
