MESSAGE FROM DR. BETH MCCUSKEY,
VICE PROVOST FOR STUDENT LIFE Dear Purdue Parents and Families, On behalf of the Boilermaker community and my colleagues here on campus, I’m thrilled to welcome you and your student to the Purdue family! Just as Purdue alum Neil Armstrong took a “Giant Leap” in becoming the first man to walk on the moon, Boilermakers have taken “Giant Leaps” in every endeavor to meet the world’s future challenges. Parent & Family Connections provides a link for you to feel connected as your student takes their own “Giant Leaps” and becomes a part of this 150-year tradition.

Parent & Family Connections is one of many departments of Purdue Student Life that work together to emphasize the lifelong benefits of an educational experience through environments, culture, people, and programs. Your student’s success at Purdue is defined by more than just what happens in the classroom. We are here to bring together all the pieces of Purdue that contribute to a fulfilling educational experience and provide a springboard into future success. Just as Student Life works around the clock to create a supportive learning and social
www.collegiateparent.com/purdue-university
environment, Parent & Family Connections is here to provide you with the tools to support your student while they are here on campus. This handbook provides a resource for you to help us ensure the best possible Purdue experience for not only your student, but your entire family. The role in creating a successful environment for your student also belongs to you. We hope you will use this handbook to define your role in your student’s progress towards achieving their educational goals.
As the parent of a recent college graduate, I know that reinforcing the support that our Boilermakers receive at home is of the utmost importance. Whatever the pursuit, our mission in working with you is simple: to help your student take their next “Giant Leaps.”
Thank you for all that you do, and Boiler Up! Beth McCuskey Vice Provost for Student Life

The family transition from high school to college can be difficult whether it is your first, middle, or last student going to college. Parent & Family Connections offers extra communication resources specifically for supporters of incoming Purdue students.
Jennifer Wetli Assistant Director of Parent & Family Connections Lauren Lucas Administrative Assistant for Parent & Family Connections
What We Do In addition to providing information about campus and supporting your student — everything from tips on care packages to health and safety on campus — we also provide communications and programs/ events for Purdue parents and families. You can find more information about these communications and programs/events and details on how to sign up on our website, purdue.edu/parentandfamily.
Communications This handbook was created as a quick reference tool to help you assist your student shall the need arise. However, we offer a number of other resources for you during your Boilermaker’s time on campus. Family Calendar The Family Calendar is filled with important University dates, deadlines, holidays, and events to help you stay connected to what is happening on campus. First-year families receive this at STAR. If available, additional copies can be picked up at the front desk of Schleman Hall, Room 207. Monthly Newsletter Keep up to date with campus news and events through our newsletter subscription — delivered monthly to your inbox.
Social Media — Parent & Family Connections hosts a special closed Facebook group for parents and family members to ask questions during their student’s transition to campus life. “Pro” Purdue Parents and campus partners are there to help answer questions and offer guidance. This group starts soon after admissions decisions are sent and continues through the first day of classes. If not already part of the group, send a request to parents@purdue.edu. Weekly Newsletters — Newsletters are sent from May through move-in with topics ranging from Doing Business Boilermaker Style to Safety on Campus. Written by campus experts, OnBoard also offers weekly talking points to aid in the transition from high school to college. If you are not receiving the newsletter, email parents@purdue.edu and we will be sure to add you to the distribution list and get you caught up on the newsletters you missed.

FERPA AND PARENT ACCESS TO STUDENT EDUCATION RECORDS The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of students and prohibits institutions of higher education from disclosing any student information, including financial information, without the explicit authorization of the student. When a student reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a postsecondary institution at any age, FERPA rights transfer from the parent to the student. What does this mean? Simply stated, parents/guardians no longer have the same access to their student’s record once they are in college as they did in K–12. In order to talk to many areas of campus regarding specifics for your student, your student will need to give you proxy access.
14
www.collegiateparent.com/purdue-university
How can I see my student’s grades?
Can I see my student’s billing information?
While a student and the professor are the only individuals capable of viewing grades throughout the semester, students can grant parents, legal guardians, or other trusted parties access to view certain pieces of their student information online. This is called granting proxy access, and the person who is granted this authorization is called a myPurdue proxy. The student controls the entire process, and can add anyone with a valid email address as a proxy. Steps for students to do this can be found at purdue. edu/registrar/currentStudents/students/ myPurdueProxy.html.
Similar to the proxy access, students can assign their parents/guardian as an Authorized User which gives parents/guardian access to secured billing information, and gives the Bursar permission to speak to you about specific information pertaining to your student. purdue.edu/bursar/pdf/tutorials/ authorizedUser.pdf

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM Your student will have countless learning opportunities inside the classroom. However, some of the most rewarding college experiences will happen outside the classroom. Purdue offers a variety of opportunities for students seeking to turn intellectual curiosity into hands-on experience. These co-curricular activities allow students to connect with other people as they pursue their education.
Student Activities and Organizations purdue.edu/sao By getting involved outside of the classroom, students gain skills that will benefit them
28
in college and throughout their lives — communication, time management, organization, teamwork, conflict management, leadership, and more. Student Activities and Organizations (SAO) oversees more than 900 student clubs. With so many student organizations, there is something for everyone. What will your student do? They can begin exploring now at boilerink.purdue.edu!

Study Abroad
Center for Career Opportunities (CCO)
purdue.edu/IPPU/SA/Outbound/parents Purdue values the benefits that come from an international experience. We offer one of the most comprehensive and affordable portfolios of study abroad programs in the nation. Study abroad can be life-enriching, add academic uniqueness to a student’s resume, and enhance career potential.
www.cco.purdue.edu Purdue’s size is one of its strengths. Students have extraordinary opportunities to customize their education and career development activities based on 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.
In 2016–2017, Purdue students took part in nearly 2,400 study abroad experiences. The University offers both short-term and long-term programs with varied course options that help students complete major, minor, or general education requirements. To ensure opportunities are affordable to all Boilermakers, Purdue has allotted two million dollars this year specifically for study abroad scholarships. Over ten million has been awarded to Boilers going abroad in the last five years. Where will Purdue take your Boiler?
Student Employment purdue.edu/studentemployment Whether it is through federal work-study or just earning extra spending money, there are numerous student employment opportunities on campus. Studies have shown students who work 8–12 hours per week actually improve their academic performance by learning how to manage their time and establish priorities. Campus work opportunities are great because of the location and flexibility to work around class schedules.
Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) purdue.edu/undergrad-research Purdue undergraduate researchers work closely with faculty and staff mentors on cutting-edge research, creative endeavors, and scholarly projects. Students deepen their critical thinking skills, improve their ability to communicate, and strengthen their disciplinary knowledge — benefits that last well into their professional careers. The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) works to increase research partnerships between students and mentors, offers annual scholarships, provides travel funding, and hosts the annual research conference. Contact the OUR about numerous opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research projects across all disciplines during the academic year and throughout the summer session — both at Purdue and around the world.

SAFETY ON CAMPUS Call 911 for any emergency The Purdue University community is one of the safest in the Big Ten. Purdue makes every effort to provide a safe environment, and yet a college campus reflects society, where crimes do occur. Student awareness and common sense help to prevent crime or injury. Assistance is readily available if your student is concerned about their safety.
32
www.collegiateparent.com/purdue-university
Here’s what you need to know: •
•
Purdue University Fire Department provides high level pre-hospital care if your student has a medical issue while on campus. Advanced life support ambulance service is provided to one of two local hospitals at no charge to the student.
•
If an emergency should occur on campus, your student will be notified by text (they must sign up), by email, outdoor warning sirens, desktop popup alert, digital signs, via television and radio alerts, and by “beacons” located in the largest classrooms. A minimum of two tests are conducted annually, to be sure that the Purdue community is prepared for emergencies.
•
Each building has a building emergency plan that identifies the “shelter in place” and evacuation locations should an emergency occur. Faculty members are asked to review these locations with their students each semester. For more preparedness tips and tools, go to the Emergency Preparedness website (purdue.edu/ehps/emergency_ preparedness).
•
To reach Purdue Public Safety dispatch, your student can push the button on one of the nearly 300 campus emergency telephones, or by texting or dialing 911 (calling is preferred).
•
Your student can engage with our Purdue Police Department by applying to work as a member of the Purdue University Student Security Patrol. In addition to patrolling campus in radio contact with PUPD, PSSP members provide the campus Safewalk service at (765) 494-SAFE. purdue.edu/ehps/ police/about/studentpatrol.html
•
Student workers trained in CPR and first aid assist at home football games and other campus events as a part of the Purdue University Fire Department. Contact PUFD to learn more (765) 494-6919.
•
When students and faculty are in the lab, they’re well trained. To complement the on-site guidance professors provide, Radiological and Environmental Management makes standardized safety training available to students online (purdue.edu/ehps/rem).
Purdue Police Department officers are highly trained, sworn law enforcement officers of the state of Indiana. They are on duty 24/7 to prevent crime and provide support to your student when needed. Purdue University

Registration is free and can be completed at the Purdue Parking and Transportation office or at PUPD.
34
Student Parking purdue.edu/parking In 2018, Parking Facilities implemented License Plate Recognition (LPR), removing the need for students to have a physical permit. The LPR system allows Parking Facilities to enforce parking by the driver’s plate rather than a physical permit that is displayed in the window. The system allows parking enforcement officers to utilize a scanner that reads license plates as they patrol to determine if a vehicle parked in that space has been properly registered with Purdue Parking Facilities for on-campus parking.
www.collegiateparent.com/purdue-university
Regular Residence Hall Permits Regular parking permits are available for sophomores, juniors, and seniors living in University Residences. All parking permits are subject to availability. Residence hall permits are valid in any space posted for residence hall permits.

These permits are only valid in the east airport lot in spaces posted for residence hall permits. “C” Permits Any registered student whose local place of residence is outside an area at least 1.5 miles from campus may purchase a “C” permit for $100 per year.
Freshman Lottery Shall extra parking spaces be available in residence hall parking spaces, students will be selected through a lottery for the ability to purchase a restricted permit. Information will be posted on the parking website.

However, if you talk to your student and feel your student is displaying behaviors that may interfere with their ability to be successful
and/or function well in their living, learning, or work environment, we ask you to inform us through a Student of Concern Report on the ODOS website, purdue.edu/odos, or by calling (765) 494-1747. After receiving a Student of Concern Report, a member of the Dean of Students team will reach out to the student to offer support and assistance. If it is ever an emergency that requires immediate attention, please call 911.

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 members keep office hours, during 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 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.
40
All students have an academic advisor who is their front-line guide to course selection and other academic resources and opportunities.
Academic Success Center purdue.edu/asc The Academic Success Center (ASC) offers a wide variety of support services that are free and available to all Purdue students.
www.collegiateparent.com/purdue-university
•
Consultations: Students can meet with ASC staff for a one-on-one conversation about time management, effective study strategies, and other academic skills. Consultations are held by appointment and drop-in basis and can be a single visit or multiple sessions throughout the semester.
•
Tutoring: The Academic Success Center provides a searchable database of nearly every tutoring resource available campus-wide. This centralized source allows students to search for help rooms and tutoring programs, as well as course-specific resources. Many support options are free to students. purdue.edu/asc/tutoring.html
•
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.
•
BoilerGuide App: This app provides information about academic programs, sessions, and resources around Purdue University’s campus.
myPurduePlan

•
Supplemental Instruction: Peerassisted study sessions for historically difficult, foundational courses. Supplemental Instruction (SI) is designed to increase retention, improve grades, and improve graduation rates. Peer Success Coaching: A Peer Success Coach (PSC) is a trained undergraduate student leader who offers guidance, encouragement, and accountability for students as they work through any challenges they may face while working toward their goals. Students can meet with a PSC throughout the semester or periodically during drop-in hours.
myPurduePlan is a web-based tool Purdue students can use to track their progress to their degree. This self-help tool complements the guidance students receive from their academic advisor. “Fifteen to Finish” is a phrase your student will hear throughout their Purdue education — if they take 15 credit hours each semester (30/academic year), they are more likely to graduate in four years.
UR Support Center housing.purdue.edu/ResidentialLife/URSC The University Residences Support Center (URSC) seeks to foster faculty and student engagement through impactful learning and intellectual development within an innovative environment.
