Though Thanksgiving break has come to an end, Ithaca College’s next break creeps right around the corner as students prepare for their last weeks of classes and finals. In addition to studying for finals, many students have to deal with the extra stress of traveling. From finances and logistics to weather conditions, there are various factors they need to consider when getting ready for the holiday break.

There are several changes to the academic calendar starting Fall 2023 onward, including an April break, changes in semester start dates, Maymester offerings and more.

The Ithaca College Academic Calendar Committee and the Office of the Provost announced changes to the Fall 2023 calendar Oct. 31 in an Intercom post.

As Ithaca College students, faculty and staff continue to get vaccinated, the college is planning to return to a pre-pandemic fall semester.
