Undergraduate transfer students entering with Junior level classification are not required to live in university owned or operated on-campus housing during their Transition semester to Rensselaer.
To be considered a Junior, the following number of degree-required credit hours must be confirmed as eligible to transfer into the student’s RPI Degree Program per Registrar Office records:
1.   Architecture:               66 credit hours 
2.   All Other majors:         60 credit hours 
Determinations toward transfer student classifications are completed once credit evaluations are done by Transfer Admission and the transfer student’s academic school. Students should inquire with Transfer Admission or the Office for Student Transitions to determine their eligibility to live off-campus during their transition semester having acquired Junior level classification.
All incoming transfer students are encouraged to live on campus. Incoming transfer students entering with First Year or Sophomore classification are required to live on campus and is guaranteed. Housing for transfer students with Junior or Seniors classification is not guaranteed and is available on a first come, first served basis.  Access to the housing application is facilitated once a student pays their enrollment deposit.
