PURDUE GUIDE
PURDUE GUIDE
Welcome Purdue Families
As the parent of two college graduates, I know how it
feels to entrust your student to an institution where the
experience will have such an influence on her life. And
as a parent, it is with great sincerity that I tell you Purdue
University is a place where your young adult will thrive.
At Purdue you’ll find a dynamic,
comprehensive university where
opportunities for exploration and
growth are boundless. But Purdue is
also a close-knit community in which
we recognize our people, including
students, are our greatest strength.
Our University is committed to
education as it relates to long-term
career development. With emphasis
on experiential learning, our students
are able to apply textbook theory
through hands-on activities. And faculty,
who are among the leaders in their
respective fields, are readily available
to assist students in everything from
individual classroom assignments
to long-term career planning.
By design, not everything about your
student’s Purdue experience will be
easy. Our students face challenges
every day. Professors have high
expectations for students to think
critically and make informed decisions.
Our students become effective
managers of their time as they balance
multiple priorities. But resources to
help students are abundant and by
facing these challenges our students
learn, grow, and recognize their own
potential as they develop into confident
young adults who are prepared to
succeed and lead in a global society.
8
Also by design, not
everything will be
challenging. Our
students are fun,
engaging, and spirited,
and their after-class
activities are a
significant part of the
Purdue experience.
It’s not uncommon to
see students sledding
down Slayter Hill on cafeteria trays (and
possibly a couch or canoe) on a snowy
winter day. The sound emanating from
“The Paint Crew” in Mackey Arena during
a close game against a Big Ten rival can
be deafening. The number of student
organizations on our campus grows each
year, now numbering more than 900!
“Launching Tomorrow’s Leaders” is at the
core of Purdue’s strategic plan as we help
students establish a strong foundation
for success throughout their lives. I
know I speak for the entire University
as I welcome your family to Purdue and
express our commitment to your student’s
education and career preparation.
Hail Purdue!

throughout your student’s education.
Facebook
University Residences
Purdue has a Facebook “group” for
families of admitted students as well
as a Facebook “fan page” for the
parents and families of current Purdue
students. The admitted group, www.
admissions.purdue.edu/FamilyFB, will
allow you to ask questions and network
with other new Purdue families as you
University Residences, Purdue’s student
housing, offers a variety of resources
for families of students living in the
residence halls – online family guide,
e-newsletter, parent advisory council, and
parent association. You can learn about
all of these by exploring the “families”
menu at www.housing.purdue.edu.
Resources for
Academic Success
Purdue has a vested interest in your student’s success and provides
the resources students need to do well academically.
Faculty and Academic Advisors
All faculty keep office hours, through
which students can meet with their
professors one-on-one. Whether or not
students need help in individual classes,
it is strongly recommended that they visit
professors during office hours to help
with everything from exploring additional
academic and professional opportunities
on and off campus to learning more about
the faculty member’s area of expertise.
All students have an academic advisor
who is their front-line guide to course
selection and other academic resources
and opportunities. Students who are
admitted for the fall will meet with their
academic advisor when they attend
the Summer Transition, Advising,
and Registration (STAR) program.
For more information about STAR,
visit www.purdue.edu/sats.
Academic Success Center
The Academic Success Center offers a
wide variety of support services that are
free and available to all Purdue students:
• Supplemental Instruction – Peerassisted study sessions for historically
difficult, foundational courses.
Supplemental Instruction is designed
12
Purdue University
www.universityparent.com/purdue
to increase retention, improve grades,
and improve graduation rates.
• Workshops – No registration is needed
to attend weekly, one-hour workshops
on topics such as time management,
“acing” exams, increasing memory,
surviving finals week, etc.

• Professional consultation – Staff are
available by appointment and on a
walk-in basis to meet with students for
one-on-one guidance and assistance.
• Handouts, videos, educational
software – A variety of resources
are available online, in the
center’s multimedia lab.
For more information,
www.cla.purdue.edu/asc.
Online Writing Lab
The internationally recognized Online
Writing Lab (OWL) offers more than 200
free resources to assist students whether
they are accomplished or novice writers.
Services are available online and in
person and are extremely comprehensive,
encompassing a vast range of editorial
topics from creating outlines to writing
research papers and from grammar and
style to overcoming writer’s block.
For more information,
http://owl.english.purdue.edu.
Learning Communities
A Learning Community is either a group
of 20-30 first-year students who take two
or three of the same courses together,
a group of first-year students who share
a common academic interest and live
in the same residence hall, or both.
Through learning communities, firstyear students have a great way to make
friends and learn the ropes at Purdue.
Research results here and at programs
across the country show that students
who take part in a learning community
earn higher grades, make friends faster,
and graduate at higher or faster rates
than students who don’t participate.
For more information,
www.purdue.edu/sats.
14
Help Rooms
The College of Science staffs walk-in help
rooms that are available to all Purdue
students, free of charge. These rooms
are open during regularly scheduled
hours and are staffed by upper class
and graduate students who specialize
in the respective subject areas.
Center for Career
Opportunities
Tutors
Tutors are available across academic
disciplines. Some are free while others
are available for a small charge.
Preprofessional Advising Office
Purdue’s Preprofessional Advising
Office helps students prepare for
admission to and success in professional
schools (medicine, law, etc.) by
providing services regardless of the
student’s major. Resources include:
•
Individual advising
•
Group workshops
•
Guidance in preparing
to become a competitive
professional school applicant
•
Assistance with professional
school applications
•
Career guidance

Purdue University
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.
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
effective job search skills. It also facilitates
activities that connect students and
www.universityparent.com/purdue
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.
For more information,
www.cco.purdue.edu.

PURDUE GUIDE
PURDUE GUIDE
Purdue 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, well 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 cocurricular 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
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.”
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.
The Wall Street Journal’s SmartMoney magazine, 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.

PURDUE GUIDE
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
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
18
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
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
everyone instantly with a single message.
Purdue University
•
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
More information about Purdue
emergency services is available
online at www.purdue.edu/police
or www.purdue.edu/fire.

PURDUE GUIDE
PURDUE GUIDE
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. 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.
20
Students must submit a medical
history form by the first day of classes.
This form documents proof of staterequired 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).
For more information: www.purdue.edu/
push or www.purdue.edu/caps.

PURDUE GUIDE
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.

Certificate in
Entrepreneurship
and Innovation
Academic Innovations
Engage Students
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
feedback during class and enabling
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
28
online study groups from classes or
learning communities and lets students
contribute to these online groups
through their Facebook accounts.
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.
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. Through a series of five,
three-credit-hour courses and related experiential programs, students learn
the theory and practice related to starting and running new ventures.
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.
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.

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.
MyMoney Powered
by Purdue
MyMoney is an online resource for anyone who wants tools and
information to help with money management – everything from
following a budget to choosing the right investments.
The mission of this Purdue
resource is to help individuals
attain financial freedom by
empowering them to wisely
manage debt and increase their
knowledge and awareness
of topical financial issues.
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
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’s philosophy is that leaders are
made, not born, and that all students have
the capacity to lead. To that end, SAO
sponsors programs that allow students to:
•
Learn to lead a student organization
•
Enroll in a leadership course
•
Participate in a leadership
conference
•
Engage in a personalized
leadership consultation with staff
•
Utilize our Leadership Resource
Center and our Facilitators

Musical Performance
Ensembles
Students who seek musical performance opportunities, whether
instrumental or vocal, have extraordinary opportunities at Purdue
Members of our musical ensembles have traveled across the
country and around the world representing Purdue.
Purdue University Bands
and Orchestra
Purdue Bands represents a commitment
to excellence, from its tradition-rich
“All-American” Marching Band to its
award-winning jazz and concert bands,
symphony orchestra, and athletic pep
bands. There are no music majors at
Purdue, so students from any major
on campus have opportunities to
perform through more than a dozen
different ensembles that represent
a wide range of musical genres.
Purdue Musical Organizations
Purdue Musical Organizations (PMO)
is an extracurricular organization that
houses a variety of vocal performing
ensembles, representing all styles of
music, including a traditional men’s glee
club, a gospel choir, a women’s vocal
group, and many specialty ensembles.
For more information,
www.purdue.edu/bands or

Purdue Athletics
Athletes and fans have a variety of outlets on Purdue’s Big Ten campus.

Varsity Sports
Club and Recreational Sports
Purdue’s 18 varsity sports compete at
the NCAA Division I level, and current
students have enjoyed watching Purdue
teams and athletes win Big Ten and
national championships. Students are
able to buy VIP “all sports” passes
through which they can attend all
regular season, home varsity sporting
events. More information about
Purdue varsity sports is available
online at www.purduesports.com.
Purdue Recreational Sports hosts
activities throughout the year, including
dozens of intramural sports, ranging from
dodge ball to fantasy football. In addition,
nearly 30 different club sports allow

Fraternities and Sororities
With nearly 50 fraternities and more than 30 sororities, Purdue
has one of the largest Greek communities in the country.
Students who join fraternities and
sororities enjoy many benefits:
•
Lifelong friendships
•
Commitment to academic success
within their individual organizations
and access to resources that help
students succeed academically
•
Involvement in campus activities
•
Leadership opportunities within
their respective organizations
and on campus as a whole –
roles that foster skills such as
budgeting, public speaking,
networking, and time management
•
Participation in volunteer and
community service activities
For more information,
www.purduegreeks.com.
Cooperative Housing
Cooperative housing at Purdue is a residential option in which
students live and work together to promote friendship, leadership,
and life skills. There are seven women’s and five men’s cooperative
houses on campus with membership ranging from 14 to 60.
In cooperative houses, members share
responsibilities such as cleaning and
preparing meals, each taking on two to
four hours of house duties weekly, which
allows them to reduce living expenses.
Cooperatives are similar to fraternities
and sororities, in that students
participate in a “rush” or recruitment
period during which new members
36
are chosen. However, the cooperative
system is much smaller than Purdue’s
Greek community. In addition, unlike
fraternities and sororities, cooperatives
do not have national organization
affiliations and do not hire full-time
employees for house management.
