International Applicants
You should apply as an international student if you need a visa in order to study or live in the United States. If you are a US citizen, dual US citizen or permanent resident of the US, you are not considered an international applicant.
International students may apply online, download a paper application form, or use the Common Application. Students whose native language is not English must submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination. RIT offers a comprehensive English Language Center should you need English Language study before you begin your academic studies.
International applicants applying for fall semester (September) admission should have all educational records and admission materials on file by March 1.
Applications are reviewed on a “rolling” basis, with admissions notification four to six weeks after all materials are received by RIT. International applicants who are deaf should check the appropriate box in the Applicant Status section of the application and submit an audiological record in order to qualify for educational access and support services provided through NTID.
