Parents

WPI has many resources, events, services, and offices that help parents navigate WPI to find the information they need. We offer programs designed to help your student succeed, both academically and in their out-of-class life. Share these resources with your student if they need some guidance.

Grade Reports

Parents and families will receive grade reports from the Registrar's Office at the end of B and D terms of each academic year. If you have other questions, ask your student directly. The Office of Academic Advising can discuss limited issues with parents according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), but we will do our best to address your concerns.

Helping Your Student Transition to College

First-year students have a great support network through the Insight Program, which consists of a Faculty Advisor, Community Advisor, and a Resident Advisor. This team is in place to help your student with personal and academic issues that may arise during their transition to college.
