Enrollment Checklist
Key Steps to Successful Enrollment
Prior to enrolling for classes, one of the most important meetings
you need to schedule is with your advisor. Meet with your advisor
on a regular basis to review program and class requirements,
current needs and future plans.
As you prepare to enroll, review the most recent course
listings on-line at infocenter.rit.edu. If you are a current or
former student, and want to access your student information,
go to the Students box and select “Student Info System”.
You will need your RIT computer account and password to
login.
The same information is available to non-RIT students in the
Public box where you can select New SIS Class Search.
If you have an academic, advising, English Language
Center, disciplinary, financial, international, medical or
PREP hold on your record, you will not be able to enroll.
Check SIS to see that no holds are listed on your account,
and clear them up before you are scheduled to enroll. The
system will direct you to the area you need to contact to
resolve your hold. You can also refer to the list at the right as
a general reference.
Students enroll on-line using the Student Information Sys
tem (SIS). If you are new to RIT, an enrollment form is
included at the end of this publication, or can be downloaded
from: rit.edu/registrar/forms.
In our new student system, students are parsed by year
level, randomly placed in groups of about 150 students,
and assigned appointment times at which they can begin
enrolling into their classes. Appointment times are assigned
every half hour between 7 am and 4:30 pm.
12 units are the minimum required to be considered a full-
time student. Students are permitted to enroll for up to 19
units. They can also add themselves to wait lists for an
additional 15 units.
If you are able to schedule all the courses you need, print
a copy of your schedule and review it. To revise it, go back
into the SIS system and make corrections. Changes must
be made no later than the last day of the 7-day Add/Drop
period. See the Academic Calendar on page 29 to review each
quarter’s Add/Drop dates.
Remember to check your schedule again before classes
begin, as room or other changes may have occurred.
