Summer Housing & Meals

Students who wish to live on campus should complete the housing request form and mail it with full payment to the Campus Center and Events Services office at least two weeks before the start of the session. 

Although the College will make every effort to accommodate students’ preferences, space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Residence hall rooms include twin-size beds, pillows, and one blanket per bed. Sheets, pillowcases, and bath towels are also supplied and can be exchanged each week. Occupants should bring a bedspread or cover, an extra blanket (not electric), clothes hangers, and a desk lamp. Washers and dryers are available in each residence hall.

Note: Students may occupy rooms on campus only for the duration of their courses. Summer program registrants must observe all College residential life regulations and will be held responsible for their actions. Students may not cook in residence hall rooms.

Cancellation of room reservations will be accepted, and a full refund given, up to one week before the start of the reservation. After that time, refunds will be given, but a $50 administrative fee will be deducted. Notice of cancellation must be received by the Campus Center and Events Services office in writing.

For questions regarding housing, contact the summer housing office beginning May 20 at 607-274-1637 or sho@ithaca.edu. (For questions prior to May 20, contact the Campus Center and Events Services office at 607-274-3313.)

May Session Housing

Because May session classes overlap the end of the academic year and the beginning of the summer, students will need to change rooms mid-way through the May session. Students living in campus housing will be allowed to stay in their spring room until the end of the first week of the May Session. On Sunday, May 19, students will need to move into a room in a building designated for summer housing. All students must relocate to a summer building; no exceptions will be made.

The May Session housing request deadline is 9:00 am Monday, May 6, 2013.

Check-In

Students who make arrangements to stay in campus housing may pick up room keys from the summer housing office located in Emerson Hall. Students may check in no earlier than noon on the day before their session begins. On the day their session starts, they may check in anytime after 9:00 a.m. The summer housing office is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Students unable to check-in before 9:00 p.m. should contact the summer housing office, beginning May 20, at 607-274-1637 to make special arrangements.

Checkout

Students may check out on the last Friday or Saturday of each session. Students should return their key and fob to the summer housing office. The summer housing office is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Students unable to checkout between office hours should contact the summer housing office at 607-274-1637 or sho@ithaca.edu, to make special arrangements.
