If you are planning to finish your degree requirements, please be aware of the following:

  • If you are transferring in your last course, or if you are completing a course from an earlier semester, you must be registered at Rensselaer in the semester in which you are to graduate. For those needing to register for a "degree completion/final registration" course, contact our Student Services Administrator (SSA). All other course registrations (except Independent Studies) are done online BY YOU.
  • You must have an approved and accurate Plan of Study (POS) on file. An approved Plan of Study is one that has your signature, as well as your advisor's signature. It also must reflect EXACTLY how you completed your requirements (i.e., correct course numbers and titles). If you need to revise your plan, please submit a new (signed) one and make sure there aren't any cross outs.
  • You must submit a DEGREE APPLICATION. Please fax it to us at (518) 276-8026 and not to the number on the form. We will review it for errors and then forward it to the Registrar's Office. A copy will be kept in your file as well.

If you need more information regarding degree clearance issues or if you are planning to complete a certificate program, please call our office at (518) 276-2347.
Reminder: Student RCS accounts will expire approximately 6 weeks after graduation. The system will send out an expiration notice 2 weeks before the actual expiration. All Rensselaer graduates can receive alumni accounts. Please view the following link for more information - http://www.alumni.rpi.edu/intouch/email_for_life.html
