Welcome, Tigers!

We are eagerly awaiting your arrival on campus this fall and are excited to welcome you to our Tiger family!

We will be sharing a lot of important information with you this summer, so please set up your RIT computer account and email as soon as possible if you have not done so already, and mark your calendar to check your email inbox often. For more information about how to set up your RIT computer account and email, follow the step listed in your Accepted Graduate Student Checklist.

As you prepare for your arrival on campus, be sure to check the Graduate Orientation webpage frequently, as well. The website serves as a central information hub, containing a link to your virtual orientation experience, your accepted graduate student checklist, links to past communications, a calendar of events to engage in over the summer, and much more!

We understand that you are likely feeling excited but perhaps a bit anxious, as well. We want to assure you that our team is here to help you this summer, as you prepare to launch this exciting new chapter in your life. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to our team. We can’t wait to connect with you!

We are so excited to welcome you to RIT and are thrilled that you are joining our Tiger family.

Sincerely,
The Graduate School Team
