RIT COVID-19 Alert Levels

We understand that despite RIT’s safety protocols, RIT cannot guarantee a COVID-free environment. We all play a role in keeping our RIT community healthy and safe against the spread of COVID-19. This alert level system will enable RIT to respond quickly to rapidly evolving health conditions. And it is up to each member of the RIT community to wear a mask in public, wash hands frequently, and watch your physical distance.
