Worcester Polytechnic Institute

As of July 1, 2018 the International House is composed of three departments: 

The newly restructured Office of International Student Life (ISL) will serve all international student related immigration and cultural adjustment needs including new student orientations, work authorizations, travel signatures, and non-resident alien tax help.

The newly created Office of Faculty and Scholar Services will work in collaboration with the Provost's Office to serve the international faculty and scholars with immigration paperwork and adjustment to Worcester questions.

The English as a Second Language Program will continue to serve the needs of graduate students seeking help with English language skills. 

While our residence halls each have a different personality, they do share some features:

• Fully furnished rooms (bed, desk, desk chair, dresser, and closet) with connections for high-speed data network services. Students receive complimentary access to streaming television and movie services and an option for phone service via IT Services.
• A resident advisor (RA) for each floor, trained to help students. They answer questions about WPI policies, complete work order requests, and offer support for emotional issues that invariably come up, such as homesickness, roommate conflicts, or stress.

The George C. Gordon Library enriches WPI and the global community, inspiring and supporting research exploration and discovery, through the expertise of our staff, by providing relevant and specialized resources, user-centered spaces, and innovative services and tools that anticipate and respond to WPI’s changing information needs.

IT Service enables the effective use of technology for teaching, learning, research, and the administrative work of the University by providing technology and mobility solutions, support, IT content and communications. 

The Office of Health Services provides accessible, comprehensive, quality healthcare (including referral services) for all WPI students.

From diagnosing illnesses and designing effective treatments to physical therapy and wellness support and counseling, the Office of Health Services works to create a healthy and thriving campus community, with a goal of preventative care and long-term well-being.
