Family Orientation
Family members are encouraged to participate in our Family Orientation program. The purpose of Family Orientation is to introduce you to life as an RIT parent, including resources available and how to best support your student throughout their time on campus. Many orientation activities are separate for families and students, but you will have plenty of time to spend with your student as you prepare them for life at RIT.
Family Orientation is August 20-21, 2019. If your student is in NTID or cross-registered RIT/NTID, please visit the NTID website for information on your orientation programs. Family Orientation highlights include:

More information will be available on the Parent & Family Programs website in May.
