Some examples:
• “Flipped” classes – watch
the lecture online and come
to class ready to dive in
• Undergraduate research –
how best to learn than to
stand side-by-side with those
discovering new knowledge
• Engagement through technology –
tweet your contributions to
classroom discussion
One of the most surprising aspects of
our Big Ten campus is our close-knit
community, with abundant opportunities
to get involved, learn and become friends
with people from so many backgrounds.
A Warm
Boilermaker
Welcome
As the parent of two college grads, I know how it
feels. Sending your young adult to college is a big
step, filled with mixed emotions and excitement.
It is with confidence that I tell you Purdue
University is a place where they will thrive.
6
Purdue University
At Purdue we encourage our young
people to go hard, to lean in and
wake up what lies within them.
There is an infectious energy on
campus — a Boilermaker-style
enthusiasm and curiosity for discovery
— with plenty of creative elbow room
for students to explore, think critically
and make informed decisions.
No doubt, Purdue is a challenging
academic environment where we have
high expectations for our students,
but we also provide great support.
When it comes to inspiring students
to achieve great things, our worldclass faculty are innovative.
www.universityparent.com/purdue
At the core of what we do is Purdue’s
Foundations of Excellence initiatives
through which we deliberately design
an academic environment and student
experience with a focus on student
success. Our commitment to you is that
we always will put your students first.
On behalf of the entire University,
I welcome your family to Purdue.
Hail Purdue!

Visiting
Purdue
Families of admitted students are
encouraged to visit campus either during
a “Purdue’s for Me” program for admitted
students or during a “Daily Visit.”
8
Purdue University
Purdue’s for Me are full-day programs
held on multiple dates during the spring
semester. Daily Visits are admissions
presentations and campus walking
tours (about 2.5 hours total). Daily Visits
are offered four times each weekday,
except during school breaks. Families
who plan to schedule a Daily Visit
are encouraged to customize their
day by attending a class, eating in a
student dining court, scheduling an
appointment with an academic advisor,
etc. Saturday visits also are available
during the school year, but Saturdays
offer fewer options to customize a visit.
or Daily Visit program, students/
families must RSVP and are
encouraged to schedule their visit
well in advance of the desired date.
More information about Purdue’s for Me
and Daily Visits is available online,
www.admissions.purdue.edu/visit.
To participate in a Purdue’s for Me
CityBus, www.gocitybus.com,
provides transportation around
campus and Greater Lafayette. Purdue
students ride CityBus for free.

Commercial Transportation
West Lafayette, Indiana, is located
along Interstate 65, about 65 miles
north of Indianapolis and about 120
miles south of Chicago. Shuttle services
to West Lafayette are available at the
Indianapolis International Airport and
Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
Amtrak railway and Greyhound bus lines
also operate stations in Lafayette.

everyone instantly with a single message.
However, the multi-layered approaches
we have in place will help spread the word
quickly, based on the circumstances.
The following communication
methods make up the University’s
Emergency Communication Plan:
Safety on
Campus
Purdue Police
Campus safety is of the highest
importance at Purdue, and we are
fortunate to have a community that strives
to ensure that students are as safe as
possible. Key to this effort is the Purdue
University Police Department. They
maintain a visible presence on campus,
address student concerns, respond to
calls for assistance, and sponsor safety
education programs. They also work
with other local police departments to
serve our students who live off campus.
Working closely with the police is the
Purdue Student Security Patrol. This
student force assists at major campus
events and also is involved with the
Safe Walk program. Students patrol
10
campus between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m.
Thursday through Saturday and offer
escorts to and from campus buildings
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Campus also is dotted with emergency
telephones that connect callers directly
to Purdue Police with a response
time of less than two minutes.
Student Housing
University Residences also provide
safe and secure environments for their
residents through a variety of efforts:
Each fall, all Purdue residences sponsor
educational programs on safety and
security. The program includes distribution
Purdue University
of information and special presentations
by police officers and other speakers.
Residence managers include information
on safety and crime awareness on
floor bulletin boards and safetyrelated programming on Boiler TV
(University Residences television).
After 11 p.m., entrance to residences is
restricted to those who live and work
there. Staff members on duty late at
night and early in the morning monitor
entrances, and police officers provide
foot patrol. Residents must provide their
Purdue ID to enter after the doors are
locked and visitors must be escorted.
Emergency Warning
Notification System
Purdue is a large and complex
institution, and people move about our
campus freely. Despite advances in
communication, there is no way to reach
www.universityparent.com/purdue
•
All-Hazards Emergency
Warning sirens
•
Fire alarms
•
University Residences has
procedures for alerting people in
individual halls via their resident
assistants, phones, and signage
•
An e-mail can be sent to all people
with a purdue.edu address, and
all building deputies receive
emergency notifications, which they
circulate through their own channels
•
The Purdue home page,
www.purdue.edu, is the focal point
of the most complete information
for campus-related emergencies
Purdue Fire Department
Community outreach is a priority of
the Purdue Fire Department, whose
services extend far beyond responding
to emergencies. The department
sponsors fire prevention and public
education programs that encompass:
•
Fire prevention, safety, and first
aid presentations for Purdue
students, faculty and staff
•
Involvement with the Campus
Safety Task Force
•
Presentations during new
student orientation programs
•
Assisting students and faculty
with research projects

emergency services is available

Student
Health
Services
The Purdue University Student Health Center
(PUSH) provides medical care through a
high-quality outpatient facility staffed by
licensed physicians, nurse practitioners,
and mental health professionals.
12
Purdue University
Services include:
•
General medical clinic
•
Sports medicine
•
Women’s clinic
•
Urgent care
•
Allergy and immunization
•
Physical therapy
•
Counseling and
psychological services
•
Student wellness office
•
Laboratory
•
Radiology
Office visits to the medical clinic are
free to all full-time students. Other
services, such as urgent care, laboratory
tests, x-rays, physical therapy, and
ongoing mental health visits, are
available on a fee-for-service basis.
Students must submit a medical
history form by the first day of classes.
This form documents proof of state-
www.universityparent.com/purdue
required immunizations. The form may
be downloaded on the Student Health
Center website and faxed or mailed
to the address listed on the form.
The University strongly recommends
that each student be covered by health
insurance; parents are encouraged
to contact their insurance providers
before their student arrives on campus.
Please note that PUSH is considered
“out of network,” and it would be costeffective to determine if coverage
is available prior to charges being
incurred. International students are
required to have health insurance.
Purdue’s Counseling and Psychological
Services (CAPS) is a free service for
Purdue students that provides up to
eight confidential counseling sessions
per semester (fall and winter).

professors to adjust the course content
and improve the learning experience.
Mixable
Mixable blends students’ social and
academic lives into a more engaged
learning experience through an online
social network. The system builds
online study groups from classes or
learning communities and lets students
contribute to these online groups
through their Facebook accounts.

Purdue is an industry leader in developing
innovative technologies to support learning.
Purdue’s “studio projects” help faculty and
students connect and interact through mobile
devices, online social networks, and websites.

Signals
Signals is a computerized system that
tracks student academic progress
and warns them in real-time if they
need work in certain areas. It detects
early warning signs and provides
intervention to students who may not be
performing to the best of their abilities
before they reach a critical point.
Hotseat
Hotseat is a social networking-powered
mobile web application that creates
a collaborative classroom, allowing
students to provide near real-time

DoubleTake
DoubleTake is a mobile video sharing
system through which students
can capture, share, and watch
videos using their smartphones.
The system allows professors and
students to evaluate assignments
based on the video submissions.
Jetpack
Through Jetpack, professors can create
collections of interactive media to run
on students’ hand-held devices. Such
media complement traditional textbooks
and can be accessed anywhere.

Through a series of five, threecredit-hour courses and related
experiential programs, students learn
the theory and practice related to
starting and running new ventures.
Purdue’s entrepreneurship program allows
students from all academic disciplines
to be innovators and entrepreneurs,
whether they choose careers in start-up
companies or larger organizations.
The certificate program is open to
students in all majors who have at
least four semesters remaining in
their undergraduate degree program.
Upon completion of the program,
students receive the entrepreneurship
certification, which also is recorded
on their academic transcript.
The program offers students a unique
and multidisciplinary experience,
provides an additional educational
credential, fosters applied skills, and
enhances job prospects and options.
For more information,
www.purdue.edu/dp/certificate.
Office of the
Dean of Students
The Office of the Dean of
Students (ODOS) is the doorway
to many campus services that
help students thrive academically
and personally. The office
offers personal counseling;
adaptive programs for students
with special needs; leadership
development opportunities; and
even emergency, no-interest
loans. If students need a service
that ODOS doesn’t offer, the
office will help them identify
and access other resources on
campus and in the community.

Graduate
Success
Each year the Center for Career Opportunities
(CCO) surveys May graduates to determine whether
they have been successful in their job search or
successfully placed in graduate or professional
schools. More than 90 percent of graduates
respond to the survey, making this one of the most
successful post-graduate surveys in the country.
Most years, over 90 percent of Purdue graduates report they are working within their
desired career field, continuing their education, or have other confirmed plans (such as
Teach for America, the Peace Corps, or military service) within six months of graduation.
Related to this success rate is the strength of academic programs at Purdue.
Employers know the quality of our students’ academic and co-curricular
experiences and recognize that Purdue graduates will make immediate
contributions to their organizations. As a result, employers literally flock to
campus for job fairs and to interview students for internships and jobs.

Purdue Rankings Underscore Value
The Wall Street Journal’s SmartMoney, BuzzFeed, the Princeton Review, and
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance all have recently listed Purdue among the nation’s
best values in higher education. Citing factors such as the long-term value of a
Purdue degree, the relationship between costs and graduates’ earning power,
high-quality academics at reasonable prices, and great financial packages,
these recognitions underscore the quantifiable value of a Purdue education.

facilitates activities that connect
students and alumni with employers
and develops partnerships with
Purdue colleges, schools, and
other stakeholders to deliver
career services across campus.
CCO services are available to students
and alumni in person and online and
range from individual consultation
to web-based, self-help resources.
Whether students are exploring
careers, preparing for graduate
school, evaluating opportunities for
professional experience, developing
a career plan, honing job search
skills, or evaluating and negotiating
job offers, CCO can help.

Career
Opportunities
The philosophy that the
primary purpose of a
college career center is
to help college seniors
land their first job is
officially a dinosaur.
Today’s college career center is a
multifaceted resource that supports
students and alumni with professional
development throughout their education
and careers. And Purdue’s Center
for Career Opportunities (CCO) has
been a pioneer in this evolution.
20
Purdue’s size is one of its strengths.
Students have extraordinary opportunities
to customize their education and career
development activities based on their
individual interests and goals. For this
reason, CCO encourages students
to initiate a relationship with them
freshman year, when they are planning
coursework, deciding which clubs to
join, and developing strategies for
internships and other work experiences.
CCO engages Purdue students in
exploring career options, actively
developing career skills and experiences
during their education, and developing

Getting
Involved
On Campus
Purdue students are
extremely active on
our campus and in
our community.
They recognize that this is a point
in their lives during which they
can explore new interests; make
new friends; and grow personally,
professionally, socially, spiritually,
and culturally. Some of our students’
most memorable campus experiences
are the things they do after class.
By getting involved on campus, students
gain skills that will benefit them in
college and throughout their lives –
skills such as communication, time
management, organization, teamwork,
conflict management, leadership, and
many others. Student Activities and
Organizations (SAO) oversees more
than 900 student clubs and hosts an
“e-sidewalk” through which students
22
can easily identify available clubs and
upcoming callouts for new members.
With so many student organizations,
there literally is something for everyone.
But there also is a well-defined
process for creating new organizations,
which students do every year.

purdue GUIDE
Right at
Home
Living on campus is
a great way to feel at
home and make friends
fast. There are many
options of where to live.
University Residences
It’s true. Freshmen don’t have to live on
campus – but most do. With 15 residence
halls to choose from and loads of living
