Enrolling in Classes

You need to meet with your academic advisor during your first semester at RIT. If you haven't met with your advisor yet, you can still build your shopping cart beginning on October 28th. However, after your enrollment appointment begins, you will not be able to register if you haven't met with your advisor.

If you are not sure if you need to meet with your advisor, click on the Tasks icon on the SIS homepage. Advisors' calendars fill up quickly during this time in the semester, so please plan ahead when scheduling your meeting! The easiest way to schedule a meeting with your advisor is through Starfish.
