High Quality Health Care and Education
What to Bring to Campus
When you are checking (and double-checking) each item off your college packing list, the number of things you will need for the year ahead may feel overwhelming. To make packing as easy as possible, we put together a list of the essential items you'll need to best take care of yourself at your new home away from home.
Updated Masking Mandates
Face masks are no longer required in the Student Health Center. Please continue to wear a mask if you are sick, immune compromised, or if you would like to. Staff may ask you to wear a mask at any time.
The Student Health Center at RIT provides high quality primary health care and education to students in a caring and supportive environment.
We recognize that our students come from different backgrounds and experiences, and seek to provide care that is inclusive, supportive, and accessible to all regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or abilities. We approach health care from a holistic perspective, understanding that good health is an important component of a successful college experience.
