Although we strongly encourage a campus visit, we understand that it isn't always possible to make the trip to Rochester.

Our admissions staff travels to various parts of the country to interview students in their hometowns and to give information sessions about RIT. You can also meet an admissions representative at area college fairs and selected high schools and community colleges.

College Fair, School Visit and Portfolio Day Events

Prospective students, both freshmen and transfers, and their families are invited to attend an Information Session and Reception at a hotel in their area.  The RIT Admissions staff covers topics such as admission requirements, application process, student life, academic programs, and cost, scholarships and financial aid.

Hometown Interviews

RIT is happy to offer informational interviews for prospective students who are seniors in high school and prospective transfer students in select cities across the country. Interviews are scheduled to last 30 minutes and are hosted by Admission Officers or alumni volunteers. Students should come to the interview prepared to speak about themselves and their interests and have questions about RIT. Dress for the interview is informal. Students are encouraged to bring a transcript, test scores and/or resume to the interview.  A personal interview is not required to be considered for admission to the university. Hometown Interviews will be offered starting in September with registration opening in August.
