Transcript Service


RIT maintains a single academic transcript reflecting all courses taken while an RIT student.

There is no charge for transcripts.

For your protection no requests can be taken over the phone or via email and the student's signature is required for release of the record. RIT does not provide copies of other institutions' transcripts. Transcripts from high schools or other colleges cannot be duplicated. You must contact them directly for transcripts.

• permits students to inspect their educational records
  
• provides the opportunity to challenge the accuracy of such records
  
• limits disclosure of non-directory information such as grades and class schedules to persons outside of the Institute without the student's written permission.

Prior consent is not required for disclosure of educational records to officials of RIT who have been determined to have a legitimate educational interest.

RIT, for reasons of access to educational records, will view all students under 21 years of age as dependents of their parents unless the student provides proof of financial emancipation as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Parents of dependent students have full access to their son or daughter's educational record including grades and class schedule.

Requests to limit disclosure of directory information must be filed in writing annually in the Registrar's Office. Students have the right to file complaints with the U.S. Dept. of Education concerning alleged failures to comply with the Act.

The complete RIT policy on access to and release of student information is available in the Office of the Registrar.

Grade Reports


At the end of each quarter the instructors input grades online. Once entered, students can view their grades online via the Student Information System. For Fall and Winter quarters, grade reports are sent to student department mail folders. For Spring and Summer quarters grade reports are mailed to student home addresses. For first year students and for students under the age of 21, an additional copy of their grades is mailed to the home address at the end of each quarter.

Enrollment Verifications


The Office of the Registrar is responsible for completing enrollment verifications each quarter. These can take a variety of forms, but generally are needed by students to support such things as financial aid scholarships and loans, student discounts, dental and health insurance, apartment rentals and auto loans.

Students should bring the required paperwork to the office for processing. Every effort is made to process these quickly but at certain times during the year a few days may be needed.

Verifications of enrollment for matriculated and non-matriculated undergraduate and graduate students is based upon the following each quarter:
