Welcome to the RIT family!
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 account and email as soon as possible if you have not done so already, and begin checking your email inbox often. For more information about how to set up your RIT account, check out the Account Set Up section of our New Student Checklist.
Our New Student Newsletters delivered to your RIT email inbox, will highlight important announcements and approaching deadlines to keep you on track with your New Student Checklist and we’ll share information about your Orientation and RIT experience.
As you prepare for your arrival on campus, check the Orientation website frequently. The website serves as a central information hub, containing your new student checklist, links to past communications, a link to your virtual orientation experience, and much more!
We understand that you may be feeling excited and perhaps even a little nervous. Remember that we are here to answer your questions or offer reassurance, so contact us at any time.
One of our favorite aspects of the on-campus New Student Orientation experience is the relationship built between new Tigers and their Orientation Leader (OL). When you arrive on campus, you will be assigned an OL who will serve as your mentor. Your OL will guide you through New Student Orientation, ensuring you have all the information necessary to launch your RIT journey successfully. By the end of Orientation, you will have made new friends, learned RIT lingo, and figured out the best places to go for your favorite foods.
We are excited to welcome you to RIT and can’t wait to meet you!
