College of Art and Design Student Services is reminding all first-year students to look in SIS and review your student account. If you have a Service Indicator titled “New Student Advising” you need to reach out to your academic advisor through Starfish and schedule your required advising appointment.  After the meeting, your advisor will lift the New Student Advising hold, and you will be able to register for classes for the upcoming term. Any transfer students who started at RIT this spring are not required to meet with their advisor and do not have an advising hold in SIS, but are welcome to schedule an appointment. read more

Below you will find the initial Marketing and Recruitment Committees plan of work.

Marketing and Recruitment Strategic Map 2013-2015

We have worked on identifying where our student population comes from. We used data provided to us by the Bursars offices of all students registered for the 2013-2014 academic year in CAD to create a heat map. We have created two maps, undergraduate and graduate, and have grouped  students by state on the map. International students are grouped by country.

In the future we would like to plot previous years to look for trends that may help us identify potential high yield recruiting areas.
