Transfer Student Communication
 June 28, 2021

Welcome to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute!

We are very excited to have you on campus this Fall!  We have developed a timeline of events up leading to your arrival on campus, a link to the Transfer Student Network and a to-do list so that you are prepared for registration. I look forward to meeting you on campus this fall, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to contact the Student Transitions Office. 

Fall Planning
Please ensure you have completed all necessary items on your checklist supplied by the Admissions Team. This is critical in your access to the housing application, health center requirements and on campus services. Fore more information on that checklist, please visit the Transfer Student Admissions page here
Would you like to get a jump start for your arrival to campus? Once you have activated your RCS, please visit the Campus Card Office online to upload your photo for your ID. Once you arrive to campus, you will be able to visit the Campus Card Office on the bottom floor of the Union to retrieve your ID. 


Are you having trouble accessing your email? Due to a recent security breach, RPI will now be implementing a new security process for online data. For assistance in setting this up, please fill out the Helpdesk Ticket. You will need your RIN and RCS information.  

The President of RPI's National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) has created a Welcome Letter for you to read! Through out the summer, we will send out more information from affinity groups so that you can connect.
