The Department of Computer Science has professional academic advisors available to assist students, as well as to mentor and monitor students, especially during the first two years.

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 or during summer.  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.

Faculty Advisors

While faculty advisors can discuss both academic and personal issues and address many of the same issues as the professional advisors, the real strength of faculty advisors lies in their professional expertise. Talk to your faculty advisor about career options, choices to make in selecting Computer Science or outside electives, or perhaps to get their opinion on several co-op opportunities that you have.
