The faster you learn your way around campus, the faster RIT starts to feel like home. Check out these tools and resources to help you navigate campus with confidence from day one.

Download the RIT Mobile App

The RIT mobile app brings essential campus information and services together in one place. Use it to check real-time shuttle bus locations, explore dining options and hours, view campus maps, and stay up to date on events. You’ll also find quick links to important resources and frequently contacted offices, making it a helpful tool for navigating daily life at RIT.

Find your way around (and under) campus

You’ll be navigating your way around campus a lot during your time at RIT. Use the interactive campus map to get to where you need to be.

Pro tip: Landmarks like the Infinity Quad and the Sentinel sculpture make great meeting spots and help you get oriented fast.
