The Journey Begins Here
Your RMCAD experience kicks off with two easy steps, both designed to introduce you to campus life and start you on your path to professional success.
Initial Scheduling
Once you pay your tuition deposit and complete all applicable financial aid paperwork, the Registrar’s Office will create your first term schedule for you. You’ll be scheduled into courses based on the major you declared on your official application, unless you notify us of any changes in advance.
After your first term, you’ll meet with your Academic Advisor to discuss the registration process and course selection.
Orientation
The Student Services division hosts a New On-Campus Student Orientation at the beginning of each term. This program is for both hybrid and on-campus students.
In addition to meeting your fellow students and learning more about the resources available to you at RMCAD, you will receive your class schedule and information about academic policies.
Topics covered include:
- Welcome from the President
- Academic Overview
- Departmental Meeting
- Career and Alumni Services + Alumni Panel
- Financial Aid
- Academic Advising
- Student Records & Registration
- Student Services and Rights & Responsibilities
- Library Resources Overview
- Student Learning Center Overview
- Campus Technology
- Student ID Card
- Understanding Critiques
- Foundations Studies at RMCAD
Orientation information is mailed approximately two months prior to the start of the term. Please email orientation@rmcad.edu or call 303.225.8540 if you have any questions or need further info.
