The Compass

The Study Abroad Staff is excited to announce a new student database system. All students can now search for programs and complete required the RIT application online. Please register and begin by filling out both your personal and academic profile. From there you may view programs and begin applying if you know the program you wish to attend. Please note that this system is new and we are counting on your feedback to help us fix any bugs and make the necessary improvements. If something is confusing or does not seem to work properly, please contact Roseanne at rmdrap@rit.edu.
