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.

Privacy

RIT complies with the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,
which governs access and release of information from student
educational records.
This statute, in part:
- 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
