Fall 2026 Timeline
All students will register for Fall 2026 Courses online beginning in July. In order to prepare for registration, it is important for students to review the timeline listed below and review:
- Your Major's First Semester Registration Guide and Curriculum Template Information (Coming in Summer 2026)
- The HASS Core Overview and Planning Resources
- RPI's AP/Transfer Credit Policy - It is recommended you submit all of your AP/IB/Transfer Credit to RPI as soon as you are able to!
Academic Advising Consultation: June 26–July 9
This is a time when students review material provided by the HUB about their curriculum template and course selection. During this time it is important to familiarize yourself with how to use the Student Information System (SIS) and attend or watch your department's webinars to help guide you through registration.
For additional assistance with planning your Fall semester course schedule, you can email the School of Science Advising HUB staff at sciencehub@rpi.edu or you can also schedule a remote one-on-one meeting online.
There will be hour-long department webinars to discuss curriculum, course registration, and other related academic topics. All department webinars are open to all students, in addition to declared majors. Feel free to attend as many webinars as you would like! You can click on the link within the 'Session Time' columns to join the webinar. You can either download the Webex app on to your computer to attend, or click "Join By Browser" when the Webex window pops up. The password for all of the webinars is 'Science2026'.
