Tip: Use the login credentials you used to manage your RIT application, not your g.rit.edu email credentials.
Do you still need to visit campus? Schedule a campus and residence hall tour.
Have you joined the accepted students' group on Facebook? Every day in the RIT Accepted Undergraduates Class of 2024 group, students are connecting with fellow tigers before ever stepping foot on campus. Ask questions and get connected!
You’ll be fully immersed in all things RIT at orientation.
Orientation is a series of events, activities, and opportunities developed to assist you and your family as you transition to life at RIT. You’ll establish a place within the RIT community, build community, and connect with campus resources before classes even start.

Moving to RIT
There is lots to do to prepare for your arrival at RIT. Here are some resources to get you ready for your next step.
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.
