Corporate
Partner Site Administrators
Meeting the ongoing educational needs of
working professionals requires an active collaboration between
industry and higher education. The success of this relationship
is a joint responsibility between Rensselaer, corporate
students, and their employers. Participating employers must
be committed to creating a setting that recognizes and supports
the need for continued growth among the company's technical
professionals. Rensselaer is committed to integrating its
education and services into this setting.
Corporate partners meet this challenge
in a number of important ways.
- In addition to supporting employees
through tuition assistance and ensuring that the Rensselaer
courses are received and distributed at local sites, companies
identify site administrators who act as liaisons to provide
critical coordination with Rensselaer.
- They coordinate application and registration
procedures, develop site-specific schedules where necessary,
review course syllabi, monitor and proctor examinations,
and facilitate the distribution and receipt of course
materials that are not available via the Internet.
- Assignments and course materials are
mailed to the sites, distributed according to local procedures,
and upon completion returned to Rensselaer using an overnight
express delivery service. It is highly recommended that
sites keep a copy of all course materials submitted each semester.
This enables the site administrator to help monitor course activities closely. CDs
should be returned to Rensselaer at the end of the semester
to protect the academic integrity and copyright of Rensselaer's
intellectual property.
A site administrator also hands out application
materials and invites Rensselaer to educational fairs and
other employee educational events.
