FAQ
If you need to meet with Financial Aid...
Please either call ahead at 585-475-2186 and press zero for an appointment (prior to SVP move-in day) when financial aid counselors will be in their offices in the Bausch and Lomb Building, or stop by during SVP move-in (see the parent schedule for an updated date/time to meet).
Can I only enter RIT/NTID in the fall?
No, RIT/NTID operates on a semester system. Accepted students may begin classes in the fall or spring. Some programs may only be available for entry in fall.
What is the difference between SVP and NSP?
SVP is the College of NTID Orientation program. NSP is the New Signer's Program - designed to help students who do not know any sign language. It is an educational/immersion experience to give our "oral" students a jump start in picking up ASL. This program occurs BEFORE the SVP Orientation program.
Fall Open Houses
RIT/NTID invites deaf and hard-of-hearing students to spend a day at RIT. This event also is open to students interested in ASL-English Interpretation. Open House is an exciting experience: an opportunity to meet representatives from admissions, financial aid and faculty from academic departments. You will have an opportunity to view our residence halls and take a guided campus tour with a current student. After your visit, we will waive your $65 application fee.
