Welcome to FIT

Welcome to FIT!

Congratulations and welcome the Fashion Institute of Technology. We share your anticipation and excitement and assure you that your years at FIT will be fulfilling and rewarding. 

During New Student Orientation, you will begin to experience what it means to be a part of the FIT community. This is going to be an important time for you, filled with new responsibilities, new questions, and new expectations. On behalf of the FIT family, we welcome you and look forward to seeing you on campus.
