Visit the RIT Ready webpage for information on what new and returning RIT students need to do before arriving on campus.

RIT is actively preparing for an on-campus fall semester. The health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors is the most important consideration as we plan to reopen. The Fall Planning Task Force—along with the Academic Planning, Infrastructure and Health Technologies, and Community Readiness committees— was formed to develop creative strategies and contingency plans to enable a safe and successful reopening. Find resources and answers to frequently asked questions at https://www.rit.edu/ready/.
