The use of safe, effective vaccines against COVID-19 disease is the next phase of our shared responsibility for curbing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. All Ithaca College students must be vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 and Ithaca College faculty and staff are STRONGLY encouraged to be vaccinated. Vaccination minimizes the need for surveillance testing, but individuals symptomatic for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, should continue to seek advice from a medical professional to determine if COVID-19 testing is needed.

Employees are longer required to report positive COVID-19 test results to the college. Any employee who may become positive for COVID-19 should stay home and utilize NYS COVID-19 paid leave.
Residential Students
For the Spring 2023 semester, all residential students will self-isolate in their regular residence hall rooms who may have tested positive for COVID-19. The college will no longer be providing isolation specific housing in the event of a positive COVID-19 test.
Off-Campus Students
Off-campus students must isolate in their own independent living arrangement or other arrangements. Please refer to our Off-Campus Living Quarantine and Isolation webpage for information on how to prepare your household to manage isolation should it need to occur.
