It is important to keep the college informed of changes to your name, preferred name, address, and telephone number.
Change of Address instructions for a currently registered student:
Use the dirinfo service to update your personal directory information. Log in using your RCS ID and password. Depending on your status as a student or employee of Rensselaer, you may not be able to edit all fields in the directories, so please contact directory updates if you require assistance updating your directory information. Please note that it takes 24 hours before any updates will display in the directory.
Students: see also the Student Information System for updates to other personal information.
If you are returning to your permanent address, there is no need to update the address form as your permanent address is already on record. Only change your address if it is different from the permanent address on file.
International Students
Federal regulations require you to notify Immigration Services of your address in the United States within ten days of any change. You must have both a local and permanent address on file with RPI. "Local address" refers to your address in the Troy, New York area. "Permanent address" refers to an address outside the United States.
The change of address you make with the Immigration Services will not be communicated to the RPI Mail Center.
Therefore, you must also change/update your address information in the Directory Information.
