Readmission
Interested in returning to I-House next year?
All Resident Members in good standing, with all outstanding balances paid, are invited to apply to renew their membership for all or part of the following academic year.
All eligibility requirements for admission must be met and qualifying documents must be provided to be considered for readmission. Readmission is not automatic or guaranteed, even in cases where eligibility is established, and is contingent upon approval by the Admissions Committee.
When to Apply
Readmission opens in February, and applicants receive priority for admission until May. After May 1, priority no longer applies, and readmission applicants are given equal consideration with new applicants.
All Resident Members who may need to stay at I-House during the upcoming academic year, even if their plans are not 100% finalized, are encouraged to apply early as they have time to finalize their plans before making a commitment. Readmission applicants who need to cancel their application can do so without penalty by July 1.
Room Selection
Readmission applicants who apply by March 1 can opt to keep their same room or give up their current room and participate in room selection within the first weeks of March. The exact dates will be shared with residents via email in February.
During room selection, returning residents can select their exact room from all the available rooms at I-House for the upcoming Academic Year. By participating in room selection, residents are free to choose their desired room type, floor, and view! This way, residents do not have to wait for September to apply for a room change!
Please note that residents may move into their new rooms at the end of the academic year in mid-May, if they are staying for the summer, or they can move out of their current room for the summer and move into a new room when they return in the fall. Room changes are not permitted during the summer term.

FAQs
I want to leave at the end of the Academic Year and come back before the end of the Summer term to stay for the Academic Year. How do I inform you of that?

When completing the readmission application please indicate your return date, despite it being before the beginning of the Academic Year term. We will then set that date as your return date.
I do not know if I will be in the New York for the upcoming Academic Year, but if I am I definitely want to stay at I-House. What should I do?

You should submit a readmission application for the academic year before the deadline. By submitting the application we will hold a room for you and you have until July 1 to cancel your booking without penalty.
I missed the readmission deadline. What happens now?

You can still apply for readmission but your room may no longer be available and, depending on when you do apply, availability of rooms may be limited.
If my plans change and I need to cancel my readmission application, when I do I have to tell the Admissions Office to avoid a penalty?

After your readmission application is approved you will be asked to pay a $1,400 room reservation payment which will be refundable until July 1. If you cancel before July 1 you will receive a refund of the room reservation payment. If you cancel after July 1 you will forfeit the full $1,400 room reservation payment.
