Final Term – Part-Time Enrollment

For RIT/NTID grants and scholarships, undergraduate students must be enrolled full-time (12 or more credits) each term in courses applicable toward the completion of their degree. However, if students are in their final term and do not need to be full-time to complete their degree requirements, their RIT/NTID grants and scholarships can be prorated based on their remaining coursework needed to graduate.

To be considered, students should reach out to their Academic Advisor to have them complete and sign a Part-Time Enrollment for FINAL Term form confirming the following:

  • Student's final semester/term of study
  • Student's final number of required credits for degree completion

The academic advisor will need to email the form from their RIT email account to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships (ritaid@rit.edu).

There is an exception to the above: The proration of RIT/NTID grants and scholarships does not apply to students who have been accepted into an undergraduate Applied Arts and Sciences program on a part-time basis.
