Campus Resources
As an online student at WPI, you have the experience of being part of a global community, but you are also part of a university steeped in tradition and history.
You’ll also have access to all of the same resources and services as our on-campus students, including:
- Academic Advising: Upon request, a faculty academic advisor is available during your time at WPI to assist you in identifying courses to meet your personal and professional goals. Please contact your Student Success Team for further assistance.
- Career Development Center: Connect with services and people on campus and in the wider WPI community—network with students from around the world in our online community, make an in-person/Skype/telephone appointment with a staff member from WPI’s Career Development Center through Handshake, or travel to campus to attend your graduation ceremony.
- Accessibility Services: As an online student, you still have access to our Accessibility Services department. Please reach out to them if you feel like you will need to utilize any of their services during your time at WPI.
- Library Services: Students enrolled in an online program, as well as students taking WPI courses in other locations, can register for an ILLiad account to request both Gordon Library and non-Gordon Library owned books and articles remotely. This allows you to access publications, research and more in order to complete your assignments.
