Is this site going away?

The answer is yes, but it will be replaced with a new central directory.

The main difference will be that the new directory will not hold extensive information about each department. If your department or office has detailed info on this site, we will be working with you to find a home for your info on the main risd.edu and/or students.risd.edu site. Your page in the new central directory will have prominent links to your information where it exists.

We expect this work to continue into early 2025. In the meantime, please know that nothing here will disappear without notice.

In order to ease workflow and reduce the use of paper, content from the student handbook has been uploaded to this site:

BEB Student Resource Site

The site includes the building and studio policies, information on advising and other helpful resources.
