WPI Graduate Accepted Students
Congratulations and welcome to Worcester Polytechnic Institute! As a new graduate student, you are beginning a journey of personal and professional growth at an institution offering multidisciplinary training and more than 160 years of excellence and distinction.
We are excited to finally welcome you to campus! If you are an RA or a TA you will need to arrive on campus no later than the first day of classes (August for fall semester or January for spring semester). All International students must arrive by the add/drop deadline. Anyone who cannot meet the previously mentioned requirements will be asked to take courses online and/or can request to defer to the next semester.
Within the Graduate Student Experience website, you will find information to help you start your academic experience at WPI, from what you need to complete prior to arriving on campus and during the initial couple of weeks of the semester to connecting with current graduate students and peer-mentors. You should also visit WPI’s Graduate Studies website for graduate student orientation information and upcoming workshops. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and plan to participate. WPI is known for its personal attention to students, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help!
First things first. Connect with us and share your excitement about joining our vibrant graduate student community on our social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Tag us and tell us what you are most looking forward to about being a graduate student at WPI.
