Financial
Information
Tuition and any other miscellaneous charges will be billed after the financial drop deadline. When a student is sponsored by an employer, official documentation must be on file in the Bursar’s office, prior to that drop deadline. After the financial drop deadline, students and sponsors, as appropriate, will be billed from Rensselaer’s Bursar’s office.
All tuition and fees are due no later than 30 days after the invoice. Listed below are the rates for tuition and fees for the 2008-2009 academic year*:
Tuition
- The general tuition rate is $1,255/credit hour
- Full Load Tuition Rate (available only for specific corporate partners and students admitted before Fall 2006) - Under the new pricing structure, a "full load" will be defined as being enrolled in 9 to 12 credit hours total for the combined Fall and Spring semesters within one academic year. Students who register at a "full load" will pay a flat tuition fee of $11,285 for the combined Fall and Spring semesters. Enrollment in Summer courses is covered under "Partial Load Tuition Rate" below.
* Please note that you will be charged per credit hour in the Fall. Your bill will be adjusted in the Spring to reflect the full load tuition rate if you are eligible.
- Partial Load Tuition Rate - A "partial load" is defined as less than 9 credit hours total for the combined Fall and Spring semesters. For students taking a "partial load" or for students who enroll in courses during the summer session, the tuition rate will remain at $1,255 per credit hour.

Third Party Billing:
Third-Party Billing is a method of billing in which an entity, (company, corporation, or other government agency) has established special billing arrangements to cover tuition and mandatory fees for students that it sponsors. This entity receives and makes payments against special bills mailed directly to a third-party office, and does not remit payment directly to a student's university-generated bill.
The sponsor must submit a letter of authorization to the Office of the Bursar. The letter from the sponsor should include:
1. Student's name
2. Student's ID number
3. Semester or duration of program
4. Charges for which the student is responsible
5. Address to send the bill
6. Contact person's name and telephone number
