 Summer housing information below.

Visiting students are welcome to participate in Summer@WPI by taking undergraduate credit courses.  No special admission is required. You can view our course offerings in our online catalog available here. Once you find your course, you can register in person, by mail, or by fax.  Please note that International students should follow the registration instructions in the International Section.

WPI uses a unit system.  To easily translate this, 1/3 unit would be the equivalent of 3 credits at other Universities. Please contact the Summer Office, summer@wpi.edu or 508-831/5517 if you have questions or need assistance to secure a syllabus.
