What defines a non-degree or visiting student?

A non-degree or visiting student is someone who is taking one or more classes at RIT, but not currently matriculated/enrolled into a RIT degree program.  Examples include but are not limited to:

  • A high school student taking a summer RIT class with aspirations to have the credits count towards a RIT degree or another university degree program at a later time.
  • A Rochester community member taking a class of interest in line with professional development.
  • An individual looking to satisfy a pre-requisite course for undergraduate or graduate admission consideration at RIT or another university.
  • A university student looking to take a summer course to transfer to their school to count towards a graduation requirement. 

Do you know which course you would like to take?

*Note: Full-time students attending a Rochester Area College (RAC) should contact their own college's Registrar Office to complete the RAC inter-institutional registration form

Do you need advising from an admissions counselor in regards to which course will help you with a future RIT application for admission?  

Immunization Law and Regulation

If you are not fully immunized against measles, mumps and rubella, you will not be allowed to register or you may be dropped from courses for which you are already registered and asked to go home.

Requirements include: two measles vaccination, at least 1 month apart, with live virus after Jan. 1, 1968 and after first birthday. Mumps and rubella (one vaccination each) after Jan. 1, 1968 and after first birthday. Records must be verified in writing by appropriate health or school officials.
