Located on the Troy, New York campus, Rensselaer’s Admissions Office welcomes visitors year round. If you’d like to learn more about Rensselaer, we recommend that you visit our campus. Attend one of our regular admissions information sessions, and take one of our student-led campus tours!

As you plan your visit, be sure to check out the Admissions Events page for special Visiting Days where we have designed an extended visit schedule with morning and afternoon schedule options. In addition to the information session and campus tour, you'll have the opportunity to attend academic sessions and have lunch with current Rensselaer students.

Otherwise, you can schedule a campus visit by using our online visit form, call the Rensselaer Admissions office at (518) 276-6216, or simply arrive for a session and tour.

You may wish to call Rensselaer Admissions in advance of your visit to confirm times and ensure availability, and to arrange any other special activities that will make your visit perfect.

Department Visits

Architecture Visitors

Contact: Lecia O’Dell (odelll@rpi.edu or 518-276-8478)
We strongly recommend a visit to the Rensselaer School of Architecture to meet with one of their faculty and visit their studios. Because Architecture does not have classes during the summer, they have a limited number of faculty available to meet with you during the months of June, July, and August. The best time to visit is during one of the regular academic semesters, September through December or mid-January through mid-May. The School of Architecture does not schedule Friday appointments.

Weekend Office Hours:

Rensselaer welcomes visitors on Saturdays and Sundays during the academic year; September through April, Rensselaer students do not have weekend classes, so access to academic buildings and laboratories is limited on weekends. Weekend student-led walking tours highlight the main academic campus and freshman residence halls, but entry to academic buildings may not be possible. The Admissions Building is closed on Sundays year round; however, a student-led campus tour is available at 1 p.m. from the location listed above.
