The primary purpose of the Rensselaer Advising System is for students and faculty to see beyond simply what courses students need to take the following semester and look more globally at their undergraduate years here and what fabulous opportunities they have to enhance both their lives and careers. It is our hope that as a result of students and advisors experiencing this together many wonderful mentoring relationships will result.

The "Map of Success" begins with the key element in the Academic Advising System, that is "The Undergraduate Plan of Study". Students and Faculty can click on any of the information and opportunities for Rensselaer students during their undergraduate years here. We believe dialog between students and their advisors regarding these sites will truly enhance a mentoring relationship.
