Students required to be on campus prior to Sunday, August 24, 2008 because of on-campus employment, athletic team practice, academic requirement, or college-sponsored activity are eligible to arrive early. The earliest date and time that can be requested for early arrival is 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2008¹. As the President's office has requested we limit the number of students arriving early, it is strongly suggested that student job training, preliminary meetings and the like be scheduled no earlier than absolutely necessary (e.g., the day prior to the beginning of employment for a one-day, student training session).

Only the student's employment supervisor, athletic coach, dean's office, academic advisor, or club coordinator may submit requests for the reasons listed above. Students whose special circumstance are beyond the scope of those covered may submit an individual request.

All Early Arrival requests should be E-mailed to breakhousing@ithaca.edu. Each must include the student's name, ID number, the date requested for arrival, and the reason the student is required to be on campus as of that date (requests for multiple students should be attached as Microsoft Excel documents).

Only those students whose Early Arrival requests are approved by the Office of Residential Life may do so. Any student without this written authorization who is found in a residence hall or who makes an attempt to check-in early is subject to a $100.00 unauthorized presence fee.²
