College of Art and Design Software Catalog is up

Hello College of Art and Design Students, Faculty and Staff

CAD Tech is currently populating our new Software Catalog for the College of Art and Design community.  We are hopeful that having this catalog will allow our users to be informed where our lab computing environment currently stands.  As always, we make every effort to stay current with the vendors’ releases, but due to our complex environment, updates ( especially major releases ) can take sometime to roll out.

What is Degree Audit ???

Degree Audit is a new advising tool that the RIT Registrar’s Office has developed to track student progress toward degree completion.

This system is designed to replace our old audit approach of checking off classes taken on paper Planning Sheets.

  • Degree Audit is accessible to students, advisors, faculty members, and administrators.
  • Each student’s “worksheet” in Degree Audit is updated with current information each time an audit is requested.
  • Degree Audit will be used to assist with the certification process.
  • Everyone will see the same information, tracked the same way, at the same time!

Students entering RIT in the following academic years will have access to an online degree audit:

  • 2013-2014
  • 2014-2015
  • 2015-2016

Students who entered prior to the 2013-2014 academic year will follow an IAP through to graduation. (SIS will not generate a degree audit for these students) read more
