Students may interact with the faculty during telephone office hours, via electronic mail, online discussion, or chat groups.

Academic advising is an essential element of the Rensselaer graduate experience. Students communicate regularly with the EWP staff and faculty advisors to discuss questions concerning curricular requirements, transfer credit, individual academic needs, and course content. An important aspect of the academic advising process is the submission of a required Plan of Study, which establishes the specific courses each student will take to fulfill the degree requirements. Students should submit a Plan of Study as soon as possible once they are admitted to a degree program.

Instructional materials are sent to sites or individual students in hardcopy or electronic format. Many are also available on the course website. These materials include:

  • Course Syllabi
  • Course Schedules
  • Class Notes/Handouts
  • Assignments
  • Examinations

To order textbooks and other course material, the site administrator or student may contact our textbook vendor who will ship your textbook/cases to your home or office, bill your company or your credit card, and has a flexible textbook return policy. Reference material is also available, if needed. Ordering information is listed on the web on our "Textbooks" page.
