The Radisson sits right in front of the residence halls, so it’s close and easy to walk to all of the same places you would walk to from a residence hall room.

Information That You Need
Will I Need Any Insurance?RIT strongly encourages all students to maintain insurance coverage either under a parent/guardian’s homeowners insurance or through a separate personal property policy. RIT assumes no responsibility for losses of students’ personal belongings. RIT offers personal property insurance through CSI Insurance Agency which offers several different limit and deductible options to provide students the flexibility to select the type and amount of coverage that best serves their needs. For more information and to enroll in a plan, contact CSI Insurance Agency, Inc. at 888-411-4911 or at collegestudentinsurance.com.
Can I Bring A Car?Yes, RIT does allow students to bring a car to campus. All vehicles must be registered with the RIT Parking Services office in order to park on campus. You can register your vehicle online or in-person at the Parking Office located in Grace Watson Hall (GWH) Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Vehicle registrations are required to be processed within the first few days of arrival to campus. Resident permits will be available to order beginning Monday, August 17. If you are unable to pre-order, a kiosk will be available at the Resource Fair for your convenience. Freshman students can preorder their permits on August 17, 2015 and pick them up at the New Student Orientation Resource Fair on August 18, 2015. Freshmen permits will not be mailed.
The cost for a parking permit is $100.00 and is valid through the entire academic year. This fee is applicable to students living in RIT housing and non-RIT housing. Permits are available for $50.00 for fall semester only. Spring semester only permits will be available to purchase in January 2016.

Free enhanced shuttle services are provided for all RIT resident students in lieu of parking in academic lots during peak hours.
How do I Find a Job on Campus?Jobs can be found in almost every department on campus. A small sample of the jobs that can be found are dining services workers, maintenance workers, office assistants, note takers, website developers, life guards, and many more! New students who wish to work on campus are required by law to complete the government mandated I-9 Form online and in the Student Employment Office (SEO) after receiving an offer of employment. To do so, you will need to submit appropriate documentation to verify your identity and eligibility to work.
Examples of appropriate documentation are:• An unexpired US passport• Government issued photo ID (i.e. driver’s license, photo
ID, etc.) and social security card or original birth certificate, etc.
