Academic grades may be released legally to the parents of dependent students. In accordance with affirming legal opinion, effective August 1, 1986, WPI will assume that all undergraduates have dependent status unless they inform the Registrar's Office in writing, that they are "independent." Petition forms are available in the Registrar's Office upon request. Such a declaration may be filed by a student at any time. After receipt of such notice, the Registrar will not release grades to parents unless legal evidence of dependency is presented to the contrary. (The listing of a student as a dependent on the parent's IRS 1040 Form is the accepted legal evidence of dependency under the Privacy Act or "Buckley Amendment." Information on file with the Financial Aid Office will remain confidential within that office and will not be used in any manner relative to this issue).
The PLAN grading system applies only to admitted, degree-seeking undergraduate students. All other students such as Consortium (CO), nondegree-seeking special students (SX), and Graduate students will receive traditional A, B, C, D, F, Withdrawal and Pass/Fail grades. The A, B, C grading system applies to all degree candidate students who enter WPI after May 1, 1986, and those degree candidate students enrolled at WPI prior to May 1, 1986, who elect this grading system.
The AD, AC grading system applies to all other degree candidates who matriculated prior to May 1, 1986, and who have not exercised the one-time option to change to the A, B, C system.
The following codes are used to designate the various grading systems in use on campus:
Projects: The following term grades are possible: A, B, C, SP (Satisfactory Progress), NAC (Not Acceptable) and NR (No record).
Courses: The following grades are possible: A, B, C, NR, and I (Incomplete). An instructor may also assign an "I" in an Independent Study course. AT (attended) is used to denote participation in seminars or college-sponsored programs.
Projects: The following term grades are possible: AD (Acceptable with Distinction), AC (Acceptable), SP (Satisfactory Progress), NAC (Not Acceptable) and NR (No Record).
Courses: The following grades are possible: AD, AC, NR, and I (Incomplete). An instructor may also assign an I in an Independent Study course. AT (attended) is used to denote participation in seminars or college-sponsored programs.
The overall evaluation of degree requirements (for the MQP, the IQP and the Sufficiency) will be graded in the students' respective grade system. The transcript will contain an abstract describing the content of the completed project.
A summary of students' Competency Examinations (if applicable) and the evaluation of performance will be included on the transcript. THE FINAL GRADE ON A DEGREE REQUIREMENT CANNOT BE CHANGED AFTER IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE. "Not Acceptable" work on the Competency Examination will not be recorded on the transcript.
The "NR" (No Record) grade is assigned by a faculty member for course or project work for which credit has not been earned. This grade applies to PLAN students (admitted, degree-seeking) only. The NR grade does not appear on the students' transcripts or grade reports, nor is it used in any calculation of satisfactory academic progress.
An "I" grade, when assigned, will be changed to a NR after one term unless extended in writing by the Instructor to the Registrar's Office. The "I" grade is not assigned for Qualifying Projects or the Sufficiency.
In project work (IQP, MQP only) extending beyond one term for which a grade is not yet assigned, an interim grade of SP (Satisfactory Progress) will be used on grade sheets. In such cases, the SP evaluation will count as units earned toward meeting the 12-unit rule for the Competency Examination, the distribution requirements, and the minimum standards for satisfactory academic progress. "SP" grades remain on the transcript unless changed to the final grade as submitted on the Completion of Degree Requirement Form or through the grade change form procedure.
Previously assigned Deferred Grades (DEFs) in MQP, IQP and Sufficiency activities for students who are no longer enrolled at WPI will be converted to No Record after a two-term absence of students from WPI. (This does not apply to students in the Exchange, 3-2 or Cooperative Education programs.) DEF's are no longer given.
An "*" will be entered in lieu of a midsemester grade at the end of the first seven weeks for fourteen-week courses. A "?" or "Q" signifies grade not submitted.
The Faculty of WPI have endorsed the following grading guidelines for project activity:
WPI does not maintain a Cumulative Grade Point Average for undergraduate students. A student who needs a Cumulative Point Average for external use may apply to the Registrar and receive a numerical equivalent. This information is usually provided only for students applying to graduate or professional schools when the application process requires a translation. Cumulative Point Averages will not be printed on student's transcripts nor shall class rankings be developed from them.
When requested by the student, the numerical equivalent of the Cumulative Point Average will be based on a point assignment of A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0 while DIST and AC grades will be 4.0 and 2.75 respectively.
WPI encourages qualified transfer students to apply for admission to WPI. Transfer students bring to WPI an added richness of experience, educational background, and diversity that serves to strengthen the educational experience of all students at WPI.
After a student has been accepted and final transcripts received, the Office of Academic Advising coordinates the formal evaluation of credit accepted toward a WPI degree. Courses taken at regionally accredited post-secondary institutions which satisfy a WPI departmental review of course content and level and which are comparable to courses offered at WPI will be granted credit if a grade of "C" or better is achieved. Formal transfer credit evaluations are provided only to applicants who have been admitted.
Free elective credit may be awarded through the office of the provost for courses with no WPI equivalent. However, any courses considered for transfer must be relevant to WPI's educational mission. Vocational, correspondence, pre-college or review courses are not transferrable. Also, non-credit "CEU" courses, adult enrichment or refresher courses, and CLEP examinations are not recognized for transfer credit.
The Institute reserves the right not to award credit for courses which were taken more than eight years prior to the date when the student applies for transfer when, in the opinion of the department, the knowledge attained in such courses is deemed to be out of date and/or in need of verification.
Students may petition the Committee on Academic Operations (CAO) for cases involving procedural irregularity.
The policy does not apply for students attending WPI who subsequently take courses elsewhere.
For all degree candidate students graduating from WPI after May 1, 1986, graduation honors will be determined as follows:
Graduation With High Distinction
An A or DIST grade on any four of the following:
Graduation With Distinction
An A or DIST grade on any three of the above.
For students in the transition period who opt to change to the new
grading system, graduation honors will be determined according to the
new grading system. A DIST under the old system will be considered an
A for purposes of determining graduation honors.
Transfer students should check with the Registrar's Office to determine whether their course grades would qualify for WPI honors.
Transcripts are furnished upon original written request to the Office of the Registrar. Each student is allowed one free transcript. Each additional transcript is subject to a fee established by the Registrar's Office. Official transcripts cannot be faxed.
The college reserves the right to withhold the release of transcript information for students with administrative obligations.
WPI has developed a computerized degree audit which lists student's courses as they apply to the respective Department Distribution Requirements. The degree audit will be sent to each student and advisor after each term A (except freshmen), B, C and provided in August prior to the start of each new academic year. Departments will receive copies after each semester (in August and January).
Any course substitutions or exceptions to the degree audit must be forwarded IN WRITING from the Department Program Review Committee to the Registrar.
Designation of a student's major area of study on the transcript is determined by his or her completion of published academic activity distribution requirements, as well as by the Major Qualifying Project. The authority and responsibility of certification of the disciplinary or interdisciplinary area will lie with the appropriate departmental or IGSD Program Review Committee (PRC) in consultation with the student and his or her academic advisor.
See examples of major areas of study.
The distribution requirements of each major must be met, but requirements common to both majors may have to be met only once. A minimum of three units of qualifying project work is thus required for fulfillment of the project portion of the double major requirements: one unit in each of the two major areas of study, and one unit of an IQP. It is the intent of this policy that the three units of project activity requirement be interpreted to mean three distinct project activities, each bearing at least one unit of credit.
For students wishing to pursue double majors not involving social science, the program audit for each intended major must be completed and certified by the review committee of each department involved. Academic activities appropriate to both majors may be counted in both majors.
For the policy in the special situation of double majors involving the social sciences, see Double Major in Social Science and Policy Studies.
The Registrar will list two major areas of study on the transcript at the time of graduation in cases where the student has completed, in addition to the normal Plan degree requirements, both a Competency Examination and one unit of major qualifying project work in a second area of study.
"Class Year" will normally be designated as year of matriculation plus four with the additional requirement that the accumulation of 30/3 units is necessary for fourth-year status, 19/3 units for third-year status, and 8/3 units for second-year status. The class year of transfer students will be determined on an individual basis. Class year designations will be reviewed at the end of Term E each year and changed if the credit accumulation does not meet the above specifications. After Term E, students may petition to be redesignated in their original class if they meet the minimum unit requirements.
In order to assist both the student, parents and the academic advisor in determining whether a student is making academic progress, WPI has adopted both of the following guidelines which became effective Term A, 1989.
Note: Term E (Summer School) will be included if the student is registered full time.
Each student's academic record will be reviewed at the conclusion of Terms B and D according to the guidelines above. If a student's performance falls short of either guideline 1 or 2, the student, parent and academic advisor will be notified that the student is not making satisfactory progress. The notification will place the student on Academic Warning. At this time, the student is urged, with the help of his/her advisor, to identify the nature of the academic difficulty and to formulate a course of action for overcoming the difficulty.
During the next review of academic progress, should the student fail, once again, to maintain satisfactory academic progress, the student, parent and academic advisor will be notified. This notification will place the student on Academic Probation for two terms. Academic Probation will prevent the student from receiving financial aid, will result in loss of eligibility for team sports and will prevent the student from obtaining undergraduate employment in the Co-op Program.
Should a student on Academic Probation fail to make satisfactory academic progress during the next review period, the student will be Suspended from WPI. The notification will prevent the student from enrolling as a full-time student or a special student for at least the next two terms. Subsequent readmission is subject to approval (with possible conditions) of a petition through the Registrar to the Committee on Academic Operations (CAO). As a general rule, a student readmitted after suspension will be placed on an Academic Probation status.
Students on Academic Warning or Academic Probation have the opportunity to improve their status by progressing through the levels in reverse order. If a student on Academic Probation satisfactorily meets the guidelines at the end of the next review period, he or she will be moved to the list of students on Academic Warning. A student on Academic Warning would be moved back to Satisfactory Academic Progress Status.
An exception to the guidelines stated above can occur when a student registers full time for Term E. At the conclusion of Term E, a review will be conducted which will include the previous five terms. If the student has completed 10/3 units acceptable work, the student's academic progress status will improve. Thus, a student on Warning Status after the Term D review will start Terms A and B on Satisfactory Academic Progress. A student placed on Academic Probation after the Term D review will be on Warning Status for Terms A and B. A student on Suspension Status after the Term D review will be able to register for Terms A and B on Academic Probation.
Students pursuing the bachelor's degree as special students will be subject to the same review schedule and standards as full time students except that, during any review period, the student's academic record from the four most recent terms will be checked to ensure the student has satisfactorily completed at least two-thirds of the academic activities for which he/she has registered.
Students may petition through the Registrar's Office to the Committee on Academic Operations (CAO) for reconsideration of the status of any of the following:
Students who petition for reconsideration of status must accomplish the following:
Deadlines for petitions:
July 15 for Term A
November 15 for Term C
Information about specific competency examinations is available from departments offering the examinations.
The college reserves the right to hold grades, transcripts, registration and/or diploma for any student who has an outstanding administrative obligation with the college.
The items listed below are designated as "Directory Information" and may be released at the discretion of the institution. Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, students have the right to withhold the disclosure of any or all of the categories of "Directory Information." Written notification to withhold directory information must be received by the Registrar's Office during the first week of the fall semester. Forms are available at registration and in the Registrar's Office. A request to withhold directory information in no way restricts internal use of the material by the college.
Directory information will include the student's campus mailbox, full name, year, major codes, advisor code, e-mail address, home address, local address, local phone, date and place of birth, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and most recent or previous educational agency or institution.
Unless a student notifies the Registrar's Office in writing to the contrary, the college considers all undergraduate students to be dependents of their parents. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the college reserves the right to disclose information about the status of dependent students to their parents without the students' written consent. Petition forms for "Declaration of Independent Status" are available in the Registrar's Office upon request (see information under Distribution of Grades).
A calendar is published by the Registrar prior to the enrollment course change period which specifies the time periods and fees for late changes. Students are responsible for the dates and should contact the Registrar's Office if they need information to avoid late fees. Requests for exceptions to published deadlines must be submitted in writing and approved by the Registrar prior to Enrollment Day, and will be granted based on documented extenuating circumstances - i.e. medical, military obligations.
During Term C, students will be sent information and forms to preregister for the following academic year. After consulting with advisors and participating in Course Planning Day, students will preregister for courses through the on-line registration system.
A master schedule of course sections will be produced from the preregistration information. After individual schedules are developed, students will receive a copy in their mailboxes for Terms A, B, C and D, including projects.
In the event of course conflicts or cancelled courses, a note indicating the nature of the difficulty will be printed on students' schedules. If students wish to change their schedules, they may consult with their advisors about contemplated changes and should then proceed to the Registrar's Office or other designated location to see if such changes can be made.
Students not meeting deadlines or not paying the tuition deposit on time may receive blank schedules, be required to schedule courses on a space-available basis, and may have a late fee imposed.
At the beginning of Terms A and C, students will receive enrollment information in their mailboxes, including notice of any required clearances from respective campus departments. The student must contact the departments, clear the obligation and obtain an approval signature.
The student should then bring, to the enrollment area, all enrollment materials received in the mailbox to enroll and to make any necessary schedule changes. Student ID is also required to enroll. All students must enroll whether or not schedule changes are to be made.
To add or drop a course at the beginning of Term A, the student should consult course change procedures published prior to each term. Generally the following time frame is adhered to:
Week one (during the enrollment period) - no late fee.
Second calendar week - $15 late fee.
Third calendar week - $35 late fee.
After this period, students may request late add/drop only in unusual or extenuating circumstances, by petitioning the Registrar's Office. A $35 late fee will apply for all approved course changes. No changes will be made to course schedules after the fourth week of classes.
Changes for future terms may be made at Harrington Auditorium at the times published by the Registrar's Office.
Each student must file an application for degree with the Registrar's Office in accordance with the following schedule:
| To graduate in: | Form must be filed: |
|---|---|
| May/June | Beginning of preceding Term A during Enrollment |
| October | Beginning of preceding Term D |
| February | Beginning of preceding Term B |
Students should register in their departments to take the Competency Examination. Any changes in a student's intentions to take the exam must be made directly with the student's department prior to the beginning of the term preceding the exam period. Students must be registered for a minimum 1/6 unit nonqualifying academic activity in the term immediately preceding the exam period or pay a registration fee equivalent to 1/6 unit academic activity. (See Registration Policy for Degree Requirements)
If class admission cards are provided, students must submit the class admission card to the instructor at the first meeting of each class or project in which they participate.
Wait lists for academic courses are established for the current and subsequent terms. Students are wait listed chronologically. Wait lists are posted by course in the wait list area of Harrington Auditorium and move according to a posted schedule. Students who are able to move into a course from the wait list have a limited amount of time (usually three hours) to claim their seat or the opportunity will be given to other students behind them on the wait list. Courses must be formally added after acceptance.
The standard course load for WPI students is one unit per term (exclusive of Military Science and Physical Education courses, which do not count towards overloads). Students may preregister for a maximum of one unit in any term.
Registration for overloads may take place, on a space- available basis, on the last two days of the course change period.
A student may not include any portion of qualifying work (project or Sufficiency) as part of an overload without the approval of both the academic and project advisors. Written approval will be required before registration can be completed in such cases.
Overload charges will be computed each semester based on the course and project load included in the student's final term registration.
To compute overload charges, see Expenses.
Students on the WPI Plan who wish to withdraw from a course or project will be assigned a grade of NR (No Record) by the instructor. The student should contact the instructor and indicate that he/she will not be continuing in the class.
Students wishing to withdraw from WPI should initiate that procedure by consulting the Director of Academic Advising. Any tuition refund is directly dependent on the date the student officially withdraws and formally files his/her paperwork with the Registrar's office.
WPI offers more exchange programs overseas than any other American college of engineering, science, and management. However, some students may wish to pursue their education in countries or at institutions where no WPI exchanges exist, or may wish to spend more time than normal in an established exchange. For such students wishing to study abroad on their own and not as a part of an established WPI program, the following policy is applicable.
For information on programs like Junior-Year-Abroad opportunities, see Prof. L. Schachterle, Project Center.
During the academic planning period, which starts in February, students who intend to conduct project work during the following year should set aside time to plan their projects, meet with faculty, and form project teams. The faculty will present information on project opportunities starting with Project Opportunities Night in January. (Some Project Centers and special programs have an application process which begins in November.) Immediately after Project Opportunities Night, students should meet with potential project advisors to discuss expectations about the project.
The most important and difficult part of a project is the planning which precedes the execution. The planning phase of your project will involve developing a background, talking to people in the field, finding out what has already been done in the area, and determining what your goals are and what you need to do to accomplish them. If any special equipment, financing, or resources will be needed for execution of the project, it is especially important to make this known early to ensure that it will be available to you. In addition, most faculty members require a project proposal before registration of the project.
Students who intend to do project work next year should complete a registration form during the Project Registration Period. During other times of the year, registration for project or independent study work must be completed within the course-change period of any term. The Project Registration Form is available at the Projects Office and the Independent Study Form at the Registrar's Office.
For registration, the following information is needed: project title, advisor(s), discipline(s), name and address of off-campus organization (if any), and type (major qualifying, interactive qualifying or pre/postqualifying project). Projects involving an off-campus organization carry the further obligation of compliance with the rules and regulations of the organization. Often, these are specified in a formal contract between the organization and WPI and are legally binding. At the time of registration, students will be required to review the legal documents in the Projects Office and sign an agreement and release form.
Students may not receive pay from an off-campus organization and project credit for the same work.
Students must note that where the major area of study is a recognized disciplinary area of the college, either the MQP advisor or an associate advisor must be a member of the faculty in that discipline.
Additional information regarding project registration will be available through the Registrar's Office prior to the registration period.
For all changes in projects, use the Project Registration Form. Students may change the title, the type or the discipline of the project with the approval of the project advisor but without having to secure the approval of the academic advisor. The student must obtain the project advisor's written approval and the academic advisor's approval before changing the number of units in the current or future terms.
All project changes are to be made only during the course change period of each term.
To change the project advisor for a degree-required project, students must obtain the authorizing signatures of both the existing and new project advisors and of the academic advisor, and submit the form during a course change period.
Students should report to their project advisors' office at the beginning of the term to make arrangements for subsequent meetings.
If a part of the work in a given term involves qualifying project work, students may not register for an overload without the written approval of both the academic and project advisors on a project overload petition form. This form is available at the Project Center.
During the final term of registration for the project and sufficiently prior to the deadline for submittal of Completion of Degree Requirement Forms, students must submit their completed project report to the project advisors. Students are also required to submit a copy of the document to the participating off-campus organization sufficiently prior to the end of the term so that proprietary and confidential information in the report can be identified and removed. Most off-campus organizations require 30 days for this review, and the grade and final report cannot be submitted to the Registrar by the project advisor until this review has been done.
The project report must contain a title page similar in format to that specified in Project Support Modules, Section 8 "The Format of the Project Report." The report itself must be submitted in a hard binding equivalent to the pressboard binders available in the WPI Bookstore. (See Documentation and Final Report Procedures).
The completion of a degree requirement (MQP, IQP or Sufficiency) will not be recorded in the Registrar's Office on or after the first day of classes of a term unless the student is registered for a minimum of 1/6 unit of the same activity in that term. The deadline for receipt of the Completion Form (and reports for projects) is the last working day prior to the first day of classes for the next term. Any exceptions to this policy must be handled by written petition from the project advisor.
NOTE: Candidates for degrees must meet graduation deadlines if they differ from the above. Deadlines for degree candidates will be strictly enforced!
THE FINAL GRADE ON A DEGREE REQUIREMENT CANNOT BE CHANGED AFTER IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE.
Only Completion of Degree Requirement (CDR) forms which are complete, correct and consistent with the student's registration records will be accepted by the Registrar's Office. The CDR must be accompanied by the written report or other appropriate documentation (see PROJECTS.)
If the final degree requirement to be completed is the Competency Exam, the student, if qualified to be a special student, must be registered for at least 1/6 unit of nonqualifying academic activity in the term immediately preceding the examination period or pay a Competency Examination registration fee equivalent to the tuition for 1/6 unit of academic activity. Payment of the registration fee is due by the registration deadline at the beginning of that preceding term. Students registered in Term E will meet this requirement for the Competency Examination period after Term A, since no examinations will be given at the end of Term E.
The status of "special student" during the regular academic year is granted only to those who meet one or more of the following qualifications:
Special students pay tuition on the basis of $1,326 (1994-95 figure) per 1/3 unit at the start of each term. All other undergraduate students will pay full tuition ($15,884 for the 1994-95 academic year) and will be considered regular students with full resident privileges. (Special students may not engage in varsity/club sports, participate in any extracurricular activities, may be required to register for courses on a space-available basis, and are not eligible for financial aid or any form of on-campus student employment.)
The following registration procedures apply:
