Check-In

Check-In will occur on Sunday, June 21st from 2:00-6:00pm in the Robert Purcell Community Center (RPCC) located off of George Jessup Road. While registering temporary parking is available outside of the community center and parking permits may be purchased at $6.00+tax per day, allowing attendees to park in the CC lot directly across from RPCC as well as the Ecology House. At registration you will receive your welcome packets, name badges, bus passes and housing for those who chose on-campus residency.

Early Arrivals

Check in at RPCC service desk located on the first (ground) floor for Halls of Residence housing assignments.

Late Arrivals

For those arriving after 6:00pm, check-in will continue at the RPCC Service Center located on the first floor until 11:00pm. After 11:00pm you may contact the assistant on-call in the following ways:

1. When you arrive at the Robert Purcell Building (north doors) you will see a telephone next to the entrance. Pick up that phone and Dial 52288. These are the yellow campus phones near the doors.
   
   
2. Dial 607-255-2288 from a personal phone

It would be helpful if you let us know your itinerary ahead of time and any delays when they occur so we know when to expect you. You can call the service desk at (607) 255-6214 or email Ebony Scott at ejs65@cornell.edu.

Arriving at Cornell

From Ithaca airport: take the airline limousine or a taxi to RPCC. See: http://www.hort.cornell.edu/ethylene/travel.htm
