Course Registration Information

In late-July, academic departments register students for fall term classes. You will be notified when your preliminary schedule is available to view in the Student Information System (SIS) with your RIT computer account and password. Please be aware that as official Advanced Placement (AP) scores, official college transcripts, and RIT placement test scores are received, schedules will be adjusted accordingly. Review Undergraduate Academic Advising FAQs for more information.​
