Need assistance with quick questions (15 minutes or less)? Stop in during our
undergraduate walk in advising hours! During fall semester, walk in hours will be held:

Did you enter RIT this fall semester?
All students who entered into RIT this year are required to attend a meeting with their
advisor during fall semester. In this meeting we will discuss future course enrollment
and other IGM resources. To schedule this meeting you must stop by or call the IGM
office at 585-475-2763. It is imperative that you attend as there is a hold on your
account that will prevent for you from enrolling in spring semester classes. This hold
can only be removed by attending this meeting with your academic advisor. Please email your advisor if you have any questions.

Take Advanced GDD Electives in King’s Landing this Spring!

Thrones is filmed? This spring, you could take two advanced game design electives with
Professor Liz Lawley while living in a beautiful European town. Find out more about this
and other study abroad opportunities at a study abroad info session on Friday, October
