Academics
The Office of Academic Advising is the initial, assigned academic advisor for these specific types of students. Students in these populations will then transition to a faculty advisor. Other majors are assigned a faculty advisor. You can locate your advisor by logging into MyRIC and navigating to the "RIC Student Homepage," clicking on the "Student Center" tile, then clicking on the "My Academics" link, and finally clicking on "View my advisors" (to view your assigned advisor and/or coach, with contact information).
Where can I find key academic dates and deadlines?
For questions about a specific class or your grade for a specific class, please reach out to that course instructor, the Department Chair, or the Academic Dean.

Leave of Absences may be taken for medical, military, or personal (unforeseen circumstances requiring time away from the college) reasons. The Dean of Students Office can assist you with any leave of absence questions you may have.
The Office of Academic Advising is the initial, assigned academic advisor for those exploring majors.
The Career Development Center can also be a wonderful resource to aid you in the exploration of careers, and therefore the exploration of majors that may allow you to work toward desired careers.
Explore the Academic Success Center, which includes the Math Learning Lab, Tutorial Services, and the Writing Lab.
If you're looking for additional writing resources to support you as you progress through your first-year academics and then your major program, Writing @ RIC is the place for all things writing.
To officially withdraw from RIC you will use the Request for College Withdrawal Official (Do not plan to return) Form. Please contact the Registrar's Office with any questions.
Course Withdrawal for Academic Reasons
If you need to withdraw from a course for academic reasons, it's recommended that you speak to the course instructor or Department Chair. If you choose to withdraw from the course you will use the Undergraduate Course Withdrawal Form and can work with the Registrar's Office if you have any questions.
Course Withdrawal for Non Academic Reasons
Students who would like to receive consideration to withdraw from one or more courses (after the drop date until the last day of class), due to medical/personal or military related matters should use the Undergraduate Request for Course Withdrawal Due to Non-Academic Reasons Form. Please reach out to the Dean of Students Office with any questions.
