Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, though priority deadlines apply. Fall semester applications are recommended by January 1 for early consideration, while the final deadline is typically May 1. Spring semester deadlines usually fall on November 1.
Graduate programs have varying deadlines, often between January and March for fall enrollment. Some programs accept spring or summer intake, with deadlines 2–3 months prior to the term start. International students should apply earlier to accommodate visa processing. Check RIT’s official website for program-specific deadlines, as some competitive programs may have earlier cutoffs.
