Move-In Appointment Times
All new students living on campus are required to select a move-in appointment time prior to arriving on campus. Students will receive an email tomorrow, June 30, with instructions on how to select their move-in appointment.
Move-In will take place during Welcome Days:
- Sunday, Aug. 14, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Monday, Aug. 15, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
Please visit the RIT Housing webiste
for more information about Move-In. As a reminder, family programming will take place on your student's Welcome Day.
College Webinars
Please remind your student to register for the upcoming college webinars, an opportunity for incoming students to meet faculty, staff, current students, and/or alumni from their specific college. College webinars are for incoming students only and will be held in July. Students can find the date of their college's event and register on the Orientation Calendar.
Off-Campus and Commuter Students
Even if your student is local, starting at RIT will still be a transition for your family. Here are some tips to pass along to your commuter student on how to prepare:
-
Know the best route to campus. It may be a familiar drive, but make sure you know what traffic will be like during the time you are heading to class. If you will be taking the bus, familiarize yourself with the bus schedule, including alternative routes.
-
Get a parking permit on the Parking and Transportation website. This is required for all vehicles that will be parked on campus.
-
Consider getting a commuter meal plan
for those long days on campus.
-
Check out the RIT Off-Campus Commuter Services website
and learn about the support resources available to commuter students on campus.
Off-Campus and Commuter Students will participate in RIT Orientation. These students will check into Orientation during Welcome Days (Aug. 14 or Aug. 15) and attend the Resources Fair and other informational sessions.
