Non-Degree Students

Admission to a program is not required before registering for distance courses, but space preference is given to admitted students. If you are interested in a specific program, please apply for admission as early as possible.  (Graduate management courses require program admission or special permission.)

Registration

To register, you will need a social security number or WPI ID number. Please download the registration form and mail or fax it to the address and phone number indicated on the form. You may pay by credit card or check.

To open and print the registration form, you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader®, a web browser plug-in available via Adobe's Web site.

If you already have the plug-in installed, download the registration form (PDF).

Registration Deadlines

For registration deadlines, please refer to the Academic Calendar.

Audit a Course

You may audit a course at 50% of the tuition rate. As an audit student, you receive access to all course materials but do not complete assignments, take exams, or receive credit.

You may change from credit to audit registration but you cannot change from audit to regular credit registration. To change to audit registration, please contact the Projects and Registrar's Office (registrar@wpi.edu) and complete the necessary forms within the first three weeks of class. No fees will be returned to students who change to audit registration.

Continuing Education Units (CEU)

Many students audit courses for continuing education purposes. If you wish to receive Continuing Education Units, please contact adln@wpi.edu before the end of the semester in which you take the course.

Take a Course for Credit

You may take a distance course as a non-degree student and apply for permission to transfer it into a WPl program or you may apply the credit to a program at another college at their discretion. Please review the admissions information.

Permission is necessary to take a graduate Management course prior to admittance into a program. Please contact the Graduate Management Program at gmp@wpi.edu
