Note from Dr. Felder
Welcome from Student Transitions!
Our portfolio partnership includes the following offices/services within the Division of Student Life: International Services for Students and Scholars, Center for Career and Professional Development, The Office of the Registrar, and The Office for Student Transitions. As Rensselaer students, our goal is to support your collegiate endeavors, transitioning through each year with guidance and support along the way.
As the Office for Student Transitions, we specifically provide the Transfer Student Orientation (TSO) experience, Transfer student communications, programming, and all other components related to a successful transition. We work collaboratively with Transfer Admissions, the five Academic Schools, and The Office of the Registrar, and International Services to ensure all incoming transfer students receive support related to registration, advisement, and transfer evaluation. As students become a part of the Rensselaer community, we hope that you'll connect with us, should there be any areas of concern as you transitions.
The Arch at Rensselaer is a curricular requirement for all matriculating students, where you'll have the opportunity to choose a world away experience. This is achieved through a number of options such as an internship, cooperative experience, research, study abroad, self-designed experiences and more. Student Transitions supports Arch students in providing the preparatory experience, semester away designation support, programmatic opportunities, and more. We work in partnership with Undergraduate Education, the five Academic Schools, the Center for Career and Professional Development and more.
I'd like to welcome all incoming transfer students and Arch designated students to connect with me directly via the contact information below. I look forward to meeting you soon!
