Please note: Any questions about your summer housing at WPI should be communicated to your REU program lead.

  • Vaccination Requirements

    All REU participants are required to be vaccinated against Covid-19, or have a medical or religious waiver. Please direct any follow up questions to your REU program lead.

  • Pre-Arrival Testing Requirements

    WPI expects all REU participants to test for Covid-19 24 hours before arrival, and plan to not come to WPI if you test positive.

  • Required Waivers

    In order to test for Covid-19 at WPI (for symptoms, close contact, etc.), you will need to sign the testing waivers found on MyTechFlex, and ensure you have up-to-date contact information in Workday. Please direct any follow up questions to your REU program lead.
