Spring 2020 Registration for Freshmen Foundation Students

Foundation Students take 5 courses in the spring: three Foundation studios and two courses in Liberal Arts.  Students are automatically registered in their Foundation studios and also into THAD-H102.

On January 15th, web registration opens so that Foundation students may register online for their appropriate Spring 2020 Liberal Arts course (in most cases, HPSS-S101).

Check your Foundation Studio schedule in Student Planning now before Liberal Arts Registration begins.

Details on courses that fit within your Foundation Studio schedule are posted on the first year student registration page  on our website.

New Electronic Forms Available

The Registrar’s Office is excited to announce the first of many electronic forms available for completion and submission by students.

The Address Change form and the Student Information Release (aka the FERPA waiver) form are now available for submission through etrieve, RISD’s new electronic form system.

The etrieve system requires login with your RISD credentials to verify your identity and allow certain fields in the form to be pre-populated. On submission, the form travels along an established workflow notifying each person and the submitter upon completion.

This new system will provide the opportunity to improve efficiency and accuracy for many of our processes.

To access etrieve guide: Documentation and Training Materials
To access etrieve directly, visit: etcentral.risd.edu

More forms will be rolled out in the following months – stay tuned!
