Important Housing Information and Instructions

Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to request housing, please email housing@ithaca.edu. A member of our Residential Life staff will follow up with information and your next steps.

Each year at the start of the housing selection process, you will be auto-prompted to sign your housing agreement.

Submit your housing preferences on the Housing Portal by selecting the "Housing Selection" menu item. The first time you select this button, you will be auto-prompted to submit your preferences. This will include updating emergency contact information and privacy settings, answering several roommate matching questions, Theme and RLC rankings, and room type preference (such as a double room).

You may revise your preferences on the Housing Portal as well by selecting the "Update Preferences" button.

Ithaca College has an open housing policy under which you may choose to live with a student of the same or a different gender identity. If you are interested in living with a person of another gender you may do so through creating a roommate/apartment-mate group or by letting us know on your housing preferences.

We offer several housing accommodation processes if you have a specific need when setting up your housing. Learn more about each process and submit requests on our Special Accommodations page.
