The Associated Press reports two Wells College students are suing to prevent the school from admitting men until after this year's freshman class graduates.
The suit accuses Wells of breach of contract through its admissions process, and violating state general business law by engaging in fraud and "deceptive acts."
Peter D. Carmen, the students' lawyer, said while the college was actively recruiting females, the trustees had been developing the plan to admit male students.
The lawsuit filed Monday in state court in Cayuga County also alleges that campus tour guides were specifically instructed in their 2003-2004 training manual to say "no" when asked if the college was going coed.
"We're asking for very limited relief," Carmen said. "We just want the women who applied to, and were accepted by, a woman's college to be able to graduate from a women's college."
