We want you to always feel welcome and safe here at RIT - and throughout your stay in America. Every year a few students are victimized by financial scam artists through a phone call or online methods. Before giving out any person information, and certainly before paying any money (even if the caller claims to be “immigration” or “a police officer”), please check with our office or RIT’s office of Public Safety. If you have any concerns about travel, working off-campus, personal or relationship safety matters, our team is always available to you. You can always feel comfortable asking us confidential questions, and we’ll help you find the answers.
