Enriched Academics
• “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 gratifying 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 world-class 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!
Pamela T. Horne

Resources for
Purdue
Families
Purdue has multiple resources to help families
connect with the University and each other.

Purdue University
Parent and Family Programs
Purdue University Parent and Family
Programs engages parents as partners
in student success by helping parents
and families understand the goals and
expectations of the university community,
serving as a central point of contact, and
creating positive long-term relationships
between parents, families, and the
university.
Learn more about Parent and Family
Programs online,
www.purdue.edu/parents
Facebook
Purdue has a Facebook group for
families of admitted students as well as
a Facebook fan page for the parents
www.universityparent.com/purdue
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 plan for
your student’s enrollment. The current
student family page, www.facebook.com/
PurdueParents, will keep you in touch
with Purdue throughout your student’s
education.
University Residences
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.

More information about Purdue’s for
Me and Daily Visits is available online,
www.admissions.purdue.edu/visit. To
participate in a visit program, students/
families must RSVP and are encouraged to
schedule their visit well in advance of the
desired date.
Commercial
Transportation
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.”
10
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.
www.universityparent.com/purdue
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.
CityBus, www.gocitybus.com,
provides transportation around
campus and Greater Lafayette.
Purdue students ride CityBus for
free.

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 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.
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:
They also work with other local police
departments to serve our students who
live off campus.
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.
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
Residence managers include information
on safety and crime awareness on
floor bulletin boards and safety-related
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. However, our multilayered approach helps spread the word
quickly.
From University-wide “shelter-in-place”
warning sirens to individual text and
Twitter messages, Purdue uses traditional
and modern technology to communicate
emergency notifications to our entire
campus community.
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/emergency.

Services Include:
• General medical clinic
• Sports medicine
• Women’s clinic
• Allergy and immunization
• Physical therapy
• Counseling and psychological
services
• Student wellness office
• Laboratory
• Radiology
Student Health
Services
The Purdue University Student Health Center
(PUSH) provides medical care through a highquality outpatient facility staffed by licensed
physicians, nurse practitioners, and mental
health professionals.
14
Purdue University
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 feefor-service basis.
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.
www.universityparent.com/purdue
The University strongly recommends
that each student be covered by health
insurance; families 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 cost-effective
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.
15
Academic
Innovations
Engage Students
Purdue is an industry leader in developing
innovative technologies to support learning. Our
award-winning “studio projects” help faculty and
students connect and interact through mobile
devices, online social networks, and websites.
16
Purdue University
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
www.universityparent.com/purdue
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.
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.
For more information:
www.itap.purdue.edu/studio.
17
Through a series of five, three-credithour 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.
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 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.

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, 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.
20
Purdue University
Purdue Rankings Underscore Value
The Wall Street Journal’s SmartMoney, BuzzFeed, the Princeton Review,
bestcolleges.com, CollegeMagazine.com and Money magazine 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,
graduate success and great financial packages, these recognitions underscore
the quantifiable value of a Purdue education.

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
alumni with employers and develops
partnerships with Purdue colleges,
schools, and other stakeholders to deliver
career services across campus. In fact,
on average, Purdue has 340% more oncampus job interviews than any other U.S.
public university — that’s right 340%.
Center for
Career
Opportunities
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
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.
CollegeMagazine.com ranks Purdue as the
country’s No. 3 university for best career
services. And our Center for Career Opportunities
(CCO) is the model for today’s college career
center — a multifaceted resource that supports
students and alumni with professional
development throughout their education
and careers.

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
28
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.

in with household chores to keep their
living costs down.
Cooperative Housing provides abundant
opportunities to get involved, learn, and
make lifelong friendships in the seven
women’s and five men’s cooperative
houses on campus with membership
ranging from 12–55.

Building
Community
LCC activities include service learning
and engagement projects, language
appreciation and education, cultural
entertainment, and poetry and
professionalism workshops. The LCC
also sponsors an Embajadores program,
through which the volunteer student
ambassadors build awareness of Latino
culture on campus as they develop
personal skills such as leadership, team
building, decision-making, and problem
solving.
The center also is the primary point
of contact for members of the LGBTQ
community as it works collaboratively
with Purdue and the community to
connect students with enriching
resources, activities, and support services
that will help them be successful in college
and beyond.

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.

dozens of intramural sports, ranging from
dodge ball to fantasy football. In addition,
nearly 30 different club sports allow
students to travel and compete against
other universities. In 2012, Purdue opened
the doors to an expanded and renovated
recreation center, a student-requested
project that increased the facility’s size by
nearly 50 percent. More information about
club and rec sports is available online,
www.purdue.edu/recsports.

it is strongly recommended that they visit
professors during office hours for 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

Online Writing Lab
Tutors
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.
Tutors are available across academic
disciplines. Some are free while others are
available for a small charge.
For more information:
owl.english.purdue.edu.
Learning Communities
A Learning Community is either a group
of 20–30 students who take two or three
of the same courses together, a group of
students who share a common academic
interest and live in the same residence
hall, or both.
Through learning communities, 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/learningcommunities.
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.

myPurduePlan is a web-based tool
Purdue students can use to track their
progress to their degree. This is a selfhelp tool that complements the guidance
students receive from their academic
advisor — to help ensure students are
staying on track. One of the best ways
students can stay on track is to average
30 credit hours of completed coursework
each academic year. “Fifteen to Finish”
is a phrase your student will hear
throughout his or her Purdue education.
It means that if they take 15 credit hours
each semester, they are more likely to
graduate in four years.
