Spring Orientation

Overview

Spring Orientation is a one-day experience designed to help new students transition to RIT, connect with campus resources, and prepare for a successful start to the semester. Throughout the day, students will have opportunities to learn about academic expectations, discover support services, meet fellow students, and begin building their RIT community. 

Whether you're joining us as a first-year or transfer student, Spring Orientation will provide the information, connections, and resources you need to feel confident and ready for your first day of classes.
