Academic advising is a collaborative education process whereby you and your advisor are partners in meeting essential learning outcomes, promoting your academic success, and outlining the steps for achievement of your personal, academic, and career goals. Each student is assigned an academic adviser who provides counsel on course selection, curriculum checklists, and information on RIT services. It is common for a science major to have several mentors among the faculty who help with academic, career, and personal questions.
