Transferring Course Credit at WPI: How It Works

How WPI Reviews Transfer Credit

After a transfer student has been accepted, WPI will begin formally evaluating transfer credit. The WPI Transfer team coordinates the review with faculty evaluators. In some cases, syllabi may be required in order to complete the course review. We do our best to provide updates as soon as possible.

What Courses Will Be Eligible for Credit?

Courses taken at regionally accredited post-secondary institutions that are worth 3 credits or more and typically have a grade of B- or better are considered eligible for an evaluation. Coursework that does not have a direct match may be eligible for general or "free" elective credit. Please be reminded that WPI requires final official college transcripts to post approved credit to a student's account; be sure to plan accordingly.

International Transfer Credit

For students attending a college outside of the US, WPI requires English translations and course-by-course credit evaluations (from a current NACES member) for all non-US transcripts. WPI will also need English translated course descriptions and possibly syllabi for each course you would like reviewed by WPI faculty evaluators for credit.
