DRYDEN, NY (607NewsNow) — On Friday, April 10th, a new agreement between Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3) and Ithaca College (IC) will allow students to be admitted to both institutions, enrolling initially at TC3 and continuing at IC after completing their associate degree.

Dual admission students will receive co-advising from both TC3 and IC as they transfer into junior status at IC. Students will also be able to receive an IC Scholarship of $15,000 to $36,000 per year.

“Students will receive an official admission letter from both schools without having to complete a separate IC application. High quality instruction is a hallmark for Ithaca College, we are so amazed to be able to partner with them. I think most of our local students grow up dreaming about being able to go to school on South Hill, and now they can see IC in their future,” said TC3 President Amy Kremenek.

“TC3 has long been a place of access, opportunity, and transformation where students build confidence, discover what is possible, and begin shaping their futures. It is a college we are proud to partner with, creating an environment where students can deepen their knowledge and refine their skills across the disciplines as they prepare for their lives and careers,” said IC President La Jerne Terry Cornish.
