RIT College of Science Academic Advising
Advising is a partnership where your advisors assist you in achieving your academic, personal, and career goals.
Advising is a collaborative education process whereby you and your advisors 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 advisor who provides guidance on course selection, degree progress, and university policies. Students are also paired with a faculty advisor who offers research, career, and graduate school mentorship within their academic discipline.
Both advisors are key partners in your educational journey. You can find their names and contact information in the “Advisors” tile in Student Information System (SIS) by clicking “details.”
