IMPORTANT ADVISING NOTICES. . . . . . . . .

 

Class of 2012 Course Registration Information:

 

• Please visit the Designs website, www.wpi.edu/+designs, to register for your A and B term courses. The course registration deadline for the Class of 2012 is June 27th. Please make sure to have made your course selections by this date.
• Once you have registered for your courses, you will receive an e-mail to your WPI e-mail address that indicates you have "An Advising Hold." This means that our office is reviewing your schedule to ensure proper course selection. You will be contacted at your WPI e-mail address if there are necessary changes. This hold will remain on your account until you Arrive in August for New Student Orienation. Please contact us if you have any questions.

 

Summer Options:

Now is the time to consider summer school.   For more information on WPI's summer programs click here.

• Registration for Summer courses opens March 11th.

 

Summer Bridge Program

This program is for those WPI students who completed the academic year on Warning or Probation.   We offer this program as one time "second chance" for students who are committed to making the changes necessary to be successful at WPI.  As participants in the Bridge Program, students register for two academic courses of their own choice and the Bridge Program's Learning and Study Skills course.   The Summer Bridge program provides an opportunity for students to improve their academic standing and, in some cases, restore their eligibility for financial aid.   Please click here for more information on the Summer Bridge Program. 

 

Transfer credit procedures for a summer course

Students must have the transfer credit approved from the appropriate WPI department representative prior to taking the course at another school or they run the risk of taking a course whose credit may not transfer.   Transfer Credit Approval forms are available online on the registrar's webpage.   Students must take the form along with the course description from the college catalog to the department representative (contact the advising office for the department representative) for evaluation.  Once the course is approved for credit, the Transfer Credit Approval form must be turned into the registrar's office.  Students will not receive credit until the registrar's office receives an official transcript.

 

The Social Science and Policy Studies Department has outlined credit transfer procedures for social science courses.
