ISSS On-line International Students Handbook

Welcome !

The Office of International Services for Students and Scholars (ISSS) extends a warm welcome to you.

We offer a variety of programs and services to our international community of over 1200 students and scholars. Our goal is to assist each one of you with whatever questions or concerns that you may have.

We hope that this handbook will help you to become familiar with many aspects of life at Rensselaer, in Troy, and in the United States, and make it easier for you to adjust to the new environment.

We wish you a very positive experience here at Rensselaer and success in your academic goals.

Sincerely,

Jane D. Havis
