Students must demonstrate a significant hearing loss, and demonstrate the ability to benefit from the models used at RIT/NTID designed specifically to provide access to academic programs for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Access services available include direct instruction, sign language interpreting, real-time captioning services, and notetaking. An audiogram is required as part of the application process.
Students are expected to submit an official high school transcript demonstrating that they have received a high school diploma. In addition, students must meet the academic requirements for their major. This includes appropriate high school curriculum and specific ACT or SAT-1 scores.
