Ithaca College does not approve or inspect off-campus properties.
Ithaca College is a residential community. This means that all non-senior students are required to live on campus unless they receive written approval from the Office of Residential Life for off campus status, or meet the exempt criteria of the Residency Policy and have notified the Office of Residential Life in writing of their intent to live off campus.

Students are strongly encouraged not to sign a lease until written approval is provided. Ithaca College students are billed for room and board until they have received written approval to live off campus from the Office of Residential Life.

Important Application Facts

  • All students applying for off-campus approval must complete "Putting the Pieces Together: Being a Responsible Member of the Ithaca Community" by the published deadline. Once a student has successfully completed the module, he or she will be asked to enter their name and Ithaca College ID number. An confirming E-mail is then sent to housing@ithaca.edu which indicates successful completion of the module. An off-campus application will not be considered without a confirmation for each applicant listed.
  • Parent/guardian approval E-mails or FAXes must be provided for each student under 21 years of age in order to have an Off-campus application considered. Approvals should include the student's name, ID number, and language such as "my student has my permission to reside in off-campus housing beginning with the Fall 2009 semester." E-mails should be sent to housing@ithaca.edu. FAXes should be sent to (607) 274-1589.
  • The Off-campus application is only available online.

Students who fail to select a room for the Fall 2009 semester during the on-line selection process, and who have not been granted off-campus status will be removed from any Off-campus Wait List and assigned a room by the Office of Residential Life.
