=== Financial Agreement ===

The Financial Responsibility Agreement is accessible on SIS, in the Students- Important Links section. Click the button containing "Financial Responsibility Agreement" and click through the agreement

== Planning for Registration ==

Students generally plan their courses around their respective major templates. Templates can be found in the [https://catalog.rpi.edu catalog] under the programs section, as well as advising pages for the respective schools. Students are generally not required to follow the strict order of their major template as long as they complete the required courses. However, prerequisites force some order for many major-specific classes.

=== Advising ===

The various schools retain first year advisors to help students plan their schedules and register for courses. Incoming first years will be contacted by their advisor via their RPI email in late June. The advising hubs and more information can be found on [https://success.studentlife.rpi.edu/new-students/first-year-advising-and-registration the student success website].

RPI schedules a period for fall planning and advising ahead of freshman registration, often in late June. The various first-year advisors often hold webinars or drop-in advising periods during this time. Advisors are generally still accessible outside of the advising period, but run larger sessions during this time to help large numbers of students simultaneously.

Students are assigned a faculty advisor after their first year. Faculty advisors are displayed on the Student Dashboard in SIS in the Advisors section. Students are required to meet with an advisor before spring registration, and will usually have a hold placed on registration until their advisor lifts it. Freshmen will meet with a school advisor; sophomores and upperclassmen will meet with their faculty advisor. Student Advisor Meeting (SAM) holds were not applied in Spring 2026 following the overhaul of SIS, though this may be fixed in the future.
