Counseling & Academic Advising Services

NTID counselors/academic advisors provide personal, social, career and academic counseling services to all deaf and hard-of-hearing students at RIT.

Every RIT/NTID student has a counselor/academic advisor assigned to work with them.

Mission Statement

We provide transitional counseling to support students' academic, personal, and career growth. We collaboratively work with the RIT Community to prioritize diverse, inclusive, and equitable services.

NTID Counseling and Academic Advising Services

In the NTID associate degree and bachelor's degree programs, each student is assigned an NTID counselor/academic advisor. Counselors/academic advisors provide academic advising, transitional counseling, and career counseling.

In the bachelor's degree programs in other colleges, each student is assigned an NTID counselor/academic advisor who provides transitional and career counseling. These students will work with their assigned primary academic advisor for academic advising and NTID support coordinator for tutoring resources in their home college.
