Recommendations

  • Do not rely on GPS once you arrive in Ithaca. Please follow the yellow or blue signs and/or directions from traffic personnel.
  • The driver must remain with the vehicle during the unloading process. Do not leave your vehicle.
  • After unloading, students will be directed to a parking area if they plan to keep their vehicles on campus for the semester. All other vehicle drivers will be directed to park in the central campus garages and surface lots. Please leave campus immediately after attending orientation activities.
  • Driving on sidewalks is allowed only during the initial move-in period. At no other time are you allowed to drive on campus paths and walkways.
