Welcome to our newest RIT Tigers!

As of mid-August, DSO Access Coordinators are generally scheduling meetings up to 3-4 weeks after a complete application for accommodations has been submitted. If you have a very time-sensitive or urgent need, please reach out directly to DSO at dso@rit.edu or 585-475-2023 to let us know. The DSO team will work together to support you as soon as we can. Thanks to all for your patience at this wonderfully busy time of year! We can't wait to meet you!
