RIT Campus Privileges
Audit RIT Undergraduate Courses
Full-Year OLLI members can audit up to two eligible* RIT undergraduate courses per semester for free as part of your membership (but you do not earn college credits). For the general public, the cost of auditing two courses at RIT is $3,000+ so this is an amazing member benefit!
Important: If you would like to audit undergraduate classes through the OLLI program, please note:
- You must purchase your membership and work with OLLI staff to complete all the necessary steps and forms required for auditing at least two weeks before the RIT semester begins. No exceptions will be made!
- There is no guarantee that you will be able to audit the class(es) you want since degree-seeking students receive registration priority.
-
You might not find out until the day before the semester starts whether you can attend the class(es) you applied to audit.
Please contact us at osher@rit.edu for more information.
Additional RIT Campus Benefits
In addition to auditing courses, Full-Year members can take advantage of the following additional RIT benefits:
- RIT University Identification (UID) Number and Card
- A free Henrietta BJ’s Wholesale Club membership
- Student admission rates for RIT campus events
- Borrowing privileges at the RIT library (physical and digital assets)
- Access to campus fitness facilities at a reduced rate
- State-of-the-art hearing evaluation and hearing aid purchase through RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID). For more information, go to the Audiology website.
*NTID courses, recreation classes, and courses that are full, have a waitlist, and/or have associated labs/studios are not eligible for auditing. Courses with pre-requisites require pre-approval from the instructor. Courses with interpreters vary per semester. Wellness courses require additional fees.
