Congratulations on your acceptance to Rhode Island School of Design! To help you make your final decision about enrolling, you and your family are invited to visit RISD this spring.

Open Houses for Accepted Students: April 15, 19 or 21, 1:30-5:30pm
Please join us on campus as members of the RISD community present helpful information about the college and answer questions. Current students will lead tours and talk informally about their own experiences here. Let us know which session you plan to attend by contacting the Admissions Office (800 364-7473; admissions@risd.edu). If you are unable to attend one of these events, we’d be happy to discuss other visiting options with you.

If you want to get a better sense of what RISD is like, but can’t visit in person right now, we hope our online tour will help.

RISD alumni in selected cities also invite accepted students and their families to receptions to find out more about the RISD experience. Click here for dates and locations of alumni-sponsored receptions.

Once You’ve Made Your Decision
Orientation, a special series of programs designed to welcome you, gives you an overview of things you should know and make you feel comfortable as you begin your new life at RISD. Details about this fall’s program will be posted at www.risd.edu/orientation.cfm in late spring. In the meantime, if you have any questions about Orientation, e-mail oriented@risd.edu.

For more general questions, feel free to contact the Admissions Office staff at admissions@risd.edu.
