Already deposited? Here are your next steps.
After you officially deposit, you’ll gain full access to your Passport account and Russell Sage email. This can take 24-48 hours after you complete your deposit.
Your Sage Passport account is your connection to the college. It includes your Self-Service account where you’ll find your financial aid information and the payment center. It links to your Sage google drive and email, as well as Moodle, where your coursework is located. You most likely already signed into your Passport account to view your financial aid at the accepted student stage. You’ll use the same password to access your account after you deposit.
If you have issues signing into your account, please call IT and leave a message, (518) 244-4777. They will get back to you as soon as possible with an account reset.
Kick off your graduate journey with an evening of fun, food, and new friends at our Graduate Student Mixer! This is the perfect opportunity for new graduate students to meet their program faculty and fellow classmates as well as become familiarized with our beautiful Troy Campus! This event will feature drinks (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic), delicious appetizers, and exciting door prizes.
Graduate students who started in the Spring or Summer 2024 semester, as well as, students starting in Fall 2024 are welcome to attend! Feel free to bring a friend and join us for an unforgettable evening. We look forward to welcoming you to our vibrant community!
Class information can be found on your Program of Study.
In addition, students should contact their Faculty Advisor to set up an appointment and attend the Accepted Student Night to learn more.
Step-by-step registration instructions can be found by watching this video.
- You will receive information to create your photo ID later this summer. More details to come!
- Parking passes for the 2024-25 academic year will be available in late July. You will receive a notification via your sage email once the site is live. Make sure to review sage.edu/parking. You’ll find helpful tips and tricks for parking on both campuses.
Talk with financial aid to make sure forms are in, loans are processed, and questions are answered. Under Financial Aid in the Self-Service section of your Passport account you will find your full financial aid information and a checklist. Make sure that is complete before the start of the semester. Any questions, reach out to [email protected].
Pay your bill or set up a payment plan in the Self-Service section under Student Finance – Payment Center. Reach out to [email protected] with questions. The bill for the fall 2024 semester will be released on July 1, 2024 and due by August 1, 2024.
If you haven’t done so already, please submit all final transcripts from any college you attended. You can contact the Registrar’s Office at those institutions to send your official transcript.
Transcripts can be submitted to [email protected], mailed to the Office of Admission at 65 1st Street, Troy, NY 12180, or uploaded via parchment.
