Current WPI Undergraduate Students
E-term Courses
E-term courses are chosen to meet the needs of current WPI students who are interested in accelerating their progress, developing their skills, or pursuing a new interest. In addtion to course offerings, students may also use E-term to work on an independent study, a research experience, or a project.

Information on Projects
Students registering for IQP or MQP over E-term should complete the online registration request form on the "Forms" page of the Registrar's website. The registration request process is now handled electronically, so you will not need to get signatures from project or faculty advisors. Please meet with your project advisor before completing the online regsitration request form. Any project conducted at off-campus sites not arranged through the IGSD global program must be approved in advance by the Provost's Office. Please refer to the calendar below for important deadlines for project registration, payment, and completion:

E-term 50% Tuition Program
Students who received an NR in approved core math and science courses are eligible to take those courses again over E-term at a reduced tuition rate. The approved math and science courses represent an important foundation to a student’s academic success at WPI. Since most degree programs expect a level of skill beyond this standard, we believe it is important for students to succeed in these classes early in their academic course of study. By offering these courses at a reduced rate in the summer, we hope that students will be able to successfully complete these fundamental courses, which are essential to their continued success at WPI. The NR can be from any previous term, and the 50% rate applies to all sections of the course offered, traditional or online. The reduced rate only applies to the approved courses and only if the student has received an NR in that course.
The 2012 E-term courses offered for this program are as follows:
| Chemistry I (CH 1010) | Physics II (PH 1120) | Differential Equations (MA 2051) |
| Chemistry II (CH 1020) | Calculus I (MA 1021)* | Matrices and Linear Algebra I (MA 2071) |
| Chemistry III (CH 1030) | Calculus II (MA 1022) | Applied Statistics I (MA 2611) |
| Chemistry IV (CH 1040) | Calculus III (MA 1023) | |
| Physics I (PH 1110) | Calculus IV (MA 1024) |
*All of the Mathematics offerings have both an online and campus-based section.
Online Courses
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.
