Student Parking Information

Ithaca College continually assesses its operations, procedures and policies in order to foster the incorporation of sustainability thinking and practice into its day-to-day management. Our efforts continue to further our goal to create a "living learning" laboratory that models and reinforces what our students are learning about sustainability in their classrooms. Furthermore Ithaca College recognizes the importance of strengthening the student connection to the College and laying the foundation for student success. As a result we strongly urge students not to bring vehicles to campus, particularly during their first year.

Please be aware that parking for all students is limited. Parking is granted on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no guarantee that all students who desire to park on campus will be granted parking privileges.

2024-25 Student Parking Permit Information

Student parking permits for the 2024-25 academic year will be available online starting Monday, July 8, 2024. All students are issued RED parking permits, which are valid in all red parking lots on campus. Permits for the 2024-25 academic year will cost $152 for upper-class students, $90 for graduate students, and $500 for first-year students. If you do not bring your vehicle back to campus (graduating or studying abroad) for the Spring semester, you can return the permit before the first Friday of the Spring semester for a 50% refund.
