The first week of each RIT semester is 'Add/Drop Week,' which allows students to tweak their schedules, adding and dropping courses without penalty. It can alert you ahead of time to things like time conflicts, advising holds, and other issues. We highly recommend students utilize their shopping cart. They open at the same time for all students, regardless of credit hours completed or if a student has an advising hold on their account. Shopping carts become available a few weeks before the enrollment period, allowing you plenty of time to talk to your advisor and plan your courses. It is simply a tool for planning purposes. Please note that placing a class in your shopping cart does not mean you are enrolled in that class, nor does it guarantee you a seat in that class. It allows you to plan your schedule in advance, and makes registering for courses quicker and easier. The shopping cart is designed to help students manage their course selections for the following term. Check SIS for your personal enrollment window. Students are assigned a specific enrollment window during the enrollment period this window is the only time (besides add/drop week) that students can enroll in courses. Enrollment for spring courses typically happens in November, and enrollment for fall courses in April. Each semester has an enrollment period in which students use the Student Information System (SIS) to choose classes to take the following semester.
