The Graduate School at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute provides graduate students with the
administrative, academic, and curricular guidance they need to
progress through their courses and programs. This includes
assisting in changes to student degree status, and advising on
thesis, registration, and graduation issues. The Graduate
School works closely with faculty and staff, school and
department administrators, as well as the Graduate Council,
which represents graduate students in university affairs.
Online information and graduate student forms such as those for
Plan of Study and Doctoral Committee Nomination are available
on this Web site.
Rensselaer invites graduate students to apply
and enroll in credit courses including degree and certificate
programs. Graduate students interested in credit
courses and degree programs must apply first for admission to
Rensselaer. Students interested in taking courses only should
apply for non-matriculated status.
