The Department of Computer Science has professional academic advisors available during the undergraduate portion of a students BS/MS degree. Your advisor is assigned to you based on the first letter of your last name. Please be sure to view your current advisor assignment via the RIT Student Information System (SIS). They will be able to answer day-to-day questions, such as figuring out what to take next term, dealing with a course that you are having trouble in, completing the paperwork that goes along with being a student at RIT, or just to talk with when you are feeling a bit overwhelmed.
The CS advisors rotate open office hours during the week where you can swing by and get assistance without an appointment. Office hours are held Monday and Thursday from 1pm-3pm and Tuesday and Wednesday from 1pm-2pm in the CS Student Services Office. There are no office hours during finals week and break week. If you would prefer an individual appointment, you can make one in advance by emailing advising@cs.rit.edu or by stopping by the CS Student Services Office. Please, no same day appointments.
As students move into the graduate portion of the BS/MS program (year level 6) the Department of Computer Science offers two graduate advisors, one academic advisor and one faculty advisor (once a BS/MS student reaches 6th year status they should no longer be working with an undergraduate advisor). There are graduate office hours available Tuesday and Wednesday from 2pm-3pm. Students may also email general questions to gradadvising@cs.rit.edu.
The grad advisors can answer day-to-day questions, such as figuring out what to take next term, dealing with a course that you are having trouble in, completing the paperwork that goes along with being a graduate student at RIT.
