Registration & Payment Information

Note

For summer camps and programs for kids in elementary, middle or high school, registration and payment information is available on each program page.

*Visiting students can get detailed registration information at the Visiting Students homepage

Registration for E-term 2012 will open February 13, 2012.

For current WPI students: the registration and payment policies for E-term differ from those of A-D term. The three sessions of E-term overlap, making it necessary for students to register and pay for classes before E-term begins. This condensed process requires students to apply for loans and/or other payment options in the C and/or D terms. Please note the dates and policies below as you complete the registration process for E-term.

E-term courses require payment upon registration. Please see the detailed payment information below.
Each E-term session has a separate Add/Drop period. Courses cannot be added after the add/drop period for each of the E-term sessions. For example, if your course occurs in E2, you will not be able to register for it after the end of add/drop. Please note the Registration cut-off dates for each E-term session:
All students are advised to choose their summer course selections with care, deliberation, and after consultation with an academic advisor.
Because enrollments are restricted by class size, students are encouraged to register as early as possible.
Courses with less than 5 registered students will not run; therefore, it is important to register early.
Students taking online courses will be responsible to return to campus to take the final exam or follow the WPI policy for taking proctored exams away from campus. Please carefully review the "Online Course Policies" section and contact the professor for the course to confirm the individual course policy for exams.
