While it is strongly discouraged, Ithaca College does allow first-year students to bring cars to campus. (Students who have completed fewer than two semesters at Ithaca College or another higher education institution are considered first-year students.) Instead, alternative transportation options are recommended for first-year students.
Can I bring a car as a first-year student?
How much does parking cost?
Parking permits are $500 per year for first-year students.
Please note: First-year students who live off campus (commuters) pay the regular undergraduate rate rather than the first-year student rate.
Please visit First-Year Student Parking for more information.
If I choose to bring a car, when should I purchase my parking permit?
If you choose to bring a car, permits will be available for purchase later this summer. Visit First-Year Student Parking for more information. If necessary, please purchase your permit as soon as possible to ensure one will be available to mail to you before you arrive.
