The CRTC Links RIT NTID Academic Advising All students are responsible for registering for their courses each quarter. Many students, especially first year students, find it helpful to meet with an advisor to discuss appropriate course sequencing, program options, and electives. The advising process assists students in understanding and successfully negotiating the pre-registration and registration processes and to understand academic policies and procedures.
Students develop an individualized plan through discussions with an advisor.
All RIT students can get individual assistance with educational planning and course selection by scheduling an appointment with their assigned academic advisor. Counseling faculty who work with College of NTID program students are assigned to serve as academic advisors for students in specific majors. Team meetings or mid-quarter progress review meetings are sometimes held with students enrolled in College of NTID programs, especially during their first year. Faculty from the student's program or other departments might also participate in the process of helping the student to develop an individualized academic plan of study. As the student nears co-operative work experience or graduation, an NTID Employment Specialist often participates in these meetings to advise students on the job search aspects of their plan.
