We strive to make off-campus opportunities available for as many students as possible. In an effort to fill available spaces, we have set the following withdrawal policy for all Global Projects Programs. The Global Experience Office works closely with onsite vendors, travel agencies, and suppliers for an array of services. Their services frequently require our office to make deposits and other non-refundable financial commitments for upcoming programs.

Update: 20-21 Global Projects Program Withdrawal Policy

As a result of the continuously changing environment during the COVID-19 outbreak, we are not currently assessing withdrawal fees for students who wish to withdraw from a program due to health or safety concerns. For more information on program planning and response, please visit We Are WPI.

21-22 Global Projects Program Withdrawal Policy

You are required to commit to or decline your placement offer to your Global Projects Program by the deadline indicated in your notification. Failure to respond to your placement offer will result in removal from the program including possible withdrawal fees.

If you decide to withdraw from your Global Projects Program after you have committed, you must immediately inform our office via email at global@wpi.edu. In your email, state the name of the program from which you are withdrawing.

The decision not to participate after you have committed may have financial consequences, as outlined below.

Please note: The Global Scholarship is only applicable to GPP programs (conducted on-site or remotely) and will be removed from your account if you withdraw. The scholarship cannot cover withdrawal fees. Fees will be posted to your student account and will be due immediately; failure to pay may result in a hold and or late fee being applied to your Student Account.
