Staying Healthy at RIT

At RIT, "wellness" includes a lot of things: physical, mental, social health and beyond.

As the semester rolls on, you might start to feel less healthy in any of these areas and we have people on campus to help you feel more healthy.

Under the weather?

Get started by contacting the Student Health Center. They provide high quality primary health care and education to students in a caring and supportive environment. Health Center staff approach health care from a holistic perspective. Recognizing that good health is an important component of a successful college experience, the Center strives to support students in illness prevention and developing healthy lifestyles.

Feeling unwell during the COVID-19 pandemic may present new questions. Visit the RIT Ready website for COVID-specific guidance.

Feeling Stressed?

You're not alone.

University life can be one of excitement and self-discovery. At the same time, it can generate academic, emotional, personal, social, or financial concerns. Although not uncommon, at times these concerns can make it difficult to succeed or function while at school. Counseling is an excellent way to address such concerns.

RIT's licensed mental health professionals provide counseling, psychiatric, and consultation services to students whose concerns range from the everyday challenges of college life to more disruptive psychological issues. Counselors fluent in American Sign Language are also available for Deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

Relationship Status?

We have relationships that form in all areas of our lives. Some of our relationships are fulfilling, healthy, and safe. Some leave room for improvement. It can be difficult to handle some of the problems that arise in our day-to-day interactions with others. It isn't always easy to communicate with our parents, family, friends, roommates, coworkers, or intimate partners. RIT's Center for Women and Gender supports students in developing and maintaining relationships in the healthiest way possible. It is often difficult to make sense of what is happening in our relationships and the Center is here to assist you in these and other areas of concern.

Are you part of a healthy community?

Civic learning and democratic engagement initiatives at RIT are led, primarily, by two units: The Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement and the Office of Government and Community Relations. These units, in partnership with students, faculty, and staff from across the University, work collaboratively to elevate (and de-stigmatize) the discourse on campus related to civic and democratic engagement, develop meaningful and relevant opportunities for students to actively engage in civic learning and democratic engagement opportunities, and increase the percentage of students who vote in local, state, and national elections.

Applied Critical Thinking Perception Survey

At RIT, Applied Critical Thinking (ACT) can be summarized as effective thinking in any context.

RIT's Fram Chair in Applied Critical Thinking is conducting this survey to understand your perception of how you use and develop your critical thinking skills as an RIT student. We will use this information to understand RIT student perceptions of applied critical thinking, so we will ask similar questions as you move through your educational experiences at RIT.
