The ICC is a student housing organization. You are considered a student if you are:

1. Enrolled for at least 6 undergraduate credits during the period of your contract, OR, if the contract is for Spring/Summer, during the following Fall.
2. A graduate student officially recognized by your departments as an active participant in your program.
3. A visiting scholar, an ICPSR participant, Access International student, or are part of another academic-related program considered to be eligible by the Membership Committee.
4. A staff member of the ICC or NASCO employed in at least a half-time appointment.
5. A current member who has lived in the co-ops for the year prior to your graduation. This gives you a four month "grace" period after graduation during which you are still considered a student.

What if I am not a full-time student?
The ICC is a student housing organization. You are considered a student if you meet the criteria set by the Board of Directors. If none of the criteria apply to you or if you cannot provide the required proof of student status, you must obtain house approval before being offered a contract.

Also, if your student status changes after signing a contract you must provide updated proof of student status or obtain written approval within 14 days of the status change; otherwise, your contract may be voided.

How do I get house approval?
If you are considered a non-student or want to sign for dates that aren't aligned with our contract dates, you need to fill out the Approval Request. The ICC Member Services staff will forward your request to the house president(s) and they will use the information provided to make a decision.

You are then responsible for contacting the house president to follow up on obtaining house approval. You can email, call, or stop by the house and tell them your situation. Each house has a different procedure for approvals, for instance, some houses might require you to attend a house meeting or to explain why you want to move in, etc.

Finally, the house president and another house officer need to notify the office in writing, by returning the Approval Request with two house officer signatures indicating that you have been approved before staff can offer you a contract.
