Ithaca College has enrolled about 200 more students in the Class of 2017 than it originally projected in May, causing residence halls to exceed their capacities and some departments at the college to accommodate more students than anticipated.
Beginning this year, incoming first-year and transfer students will fulfill general education requirements based on “themes” they choose while registering for their first semester’s courses.
The Office of Residential Life announced Friday that it will no longer need to house students in the Country Inn & Suites because of a miscalculation in the number of upperclassmen students requesting on-campus housing.
The Office of Residential Life will now approve students for off-campus housing during the fall semester.
