Withdrawal Policy
Undergraduate
Students wishing to withdraw from WPI should initiate that procedure by consulting the Registrar’s Office. Any reduction in tuition charges is directly dependant on the date the student officially withdraws and formally files his/her paperwork with the Registrar’s Office. Course work in progress will result in NR. If a student wishes to be readmitted after withdrawal; the process is simply that of notifying the Registrar’s Office. This can be done using the Application for Readmission Form [PDF]. Petition is only necessary if academic standing was that of suspension at time of separation from the university.
Graduate
Because the university makes a financial commitment at the time a course is scheduled for instruction, no tuition and fees paid by the student will be refunded after day 10 of the semester, not including weekends. A grade of W will be issued until the end of the 10th week of the semester.
Withdrawal after the 10th week must be petitioned to the Registrar’s Office. Notice to the instructor or discontinuance of attendance does not constitute withdrawal. Such notice must be submitted in writing to the Registrar’s Office. Incomplete grades are transitional grades and must be changed by the instructor within 12 months. If coursework is not made up by this time, the grade automatically becomes an F.
