Get Ready

Welcome to WPI!

We’re thrilled that you’ve decided to join us at WPI. Whether you’re preparing for your first year of college or are joining us from another college or university, we can’t wait to welcome you to campus, show you around—and make sure you grab a selfie with Gompei, of course.

There’s a lot to be excited about, but there are also a few things to check off your to-do list before you arrive in Worcester, and we’re here to help. We’ve gathered some important links and put together a timeline of what needs to be done when, all to make your transition to WPI as smooth as possible. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions that might come up. After all, one of the first things you’ll learn about the WPI community is that offering help is commonplace, and that desire to lend a helping hand starts right now.

Welcome to WPI—we can’t wait to meet you.
