Volunteer Registration

RIT Commencement Volunteer Registration Form

Please note: This form is for general volunteer assignments. Please register here only if you are volunteering in addition to assignments required by your college/unit.

Commencement Volunteer FAQ

Most volunteer positions require a 3-hour time commitment and involve standing and interacting with guests for the duration of the shift.

Volunteers can register via this form. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email with your volunteer assignment(s). If you do not receive confirmation, please send an email to graduation@rit.edu and include VOLUNTEER in the subject line. We are using a platform called CERVIS that enables us to communicate with volunteers more efficiently. 

Volunteers may login to their account on the registration page and update their profile and/or assignment information at any time.
