Living on campus is a great way for students to get acclimated to campus and to help them make friends. Having access to a meal plan, laundry facilities and not having to worry as much about cleaning and maintenance gives them more time for studying and relaxing.

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! Congratulations on getting to this point and thank you all for your encouragement and support that led to your student achieving this significant step in their life. As a parent of a recent college graduate, I know how important your impact on your student has been and how much you want to continue to be a part of your Boilermaker’s network.
6
Recognizing one’s impact and building a network are two of the values we are working to develop in every Purdue student through our Steps to Leaps program. In addition to these two pillars, Student Life is collaborating with campus partners to foster lifelong habits and promote a growth mindset in well-being, leadership and grit. As I reflect on my own experiences, I can see how these pillars have manifested in how I’ve overcome obstacles to achieve success. We in Student Life are excited to foster growth in your student in these areas so they can leave Purdue prepared for a lifetime of success.
collegiateparent.com/school/purdue-university
Parent & Family Connections is one of the many departments of Student Life that work together to emphasize the lifelong benefits obtained by developing these pillars through educational experiences defined by environments, culture, people and programs. Your student’s success at Purdue is determined by more than just what happens in the classroom. Through programs such as Steps to Leaps, we are here to bring together all the pieces of Purdue that contribute to a fulfilling educational experience. Just as Student Life works around the clock to create a supportive learning and social environment, Parent & Family
Connections is here to provide you with the tools to support your student while they are 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.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, AND BOILER UP! Beth McCuskey Vice Provost for Student Life

MESSAGE FROM DR. KATIE SERMERSHEIM, DEAN OF STUDENTS WELCOME TO THE BOILERMAKER FAMILY! Congratulations to your student on all of their great accomplishments to get them to Purdue University. Your support during their k-12 journey helped get them here, and although your involvement will likely change a bit as you move from being a caregiver to a coach, your guidance and encouragement will be instrumental as they work to pursue their Giant Leap. Boilermakers are granted many great opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom, and along with opportunities comes challenges. The Office of the Dean of Students (ODOS) is available to help your student navigate any challenge that may arise and is here to help your
8
student make informed decisions. The Office of the Dean of Students consists of specialized areas including: Center for Advocacy, Response and Education; Counseling and Psychological Services; Fraternity, Sorority and Cooperative Life; Off-Campus Housing; Parent & Family Connections; Student Health Services; Student Legal Services; and Student Rights and Responsibilities; all of which will be expanded on throughout this publication. Students may walk-in to Schleman 207 and ask to speak with a Student Support Specialist or contact our office at (765) 494-1747, Monday–Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EST). If your student is in need of a service ODOS does not offer, our office will help them identify and access other resources on the campus and in the community. Together these areas of the Office of the Dean of Students advocate for student issues, needs and concerns; respond to emergency situations affecting our students; and represent the University to various constituencies. As a support system for the entire student body, we empower students to discover, pursue and achieve their personal and educational goals.
ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY, I WELCOME YOUR FAMILY TO PURDUE! Dr. Katie Sermersheim Associate Vice Provost and Dean of Students

As a result, we have a limited number of fall weekends to select from. Once selected, an email save the date will be sent to all families subscribed to our monthly newsletter, posts will be made to our Facebook page, and information will also be posted to the front page of the Parent & Family Connections website.
Save the date for Family Weekend 2021 – Friday, October 22nd through Sunday, October 24.

FERPA AND PARENT ACCESS EDUCATION AND FINANCIAL
THE FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA) IS A FEDERAL LAW THAT PROTECTS THE PRIVACY OF STUDENTS AND THEIR EDUCATIONAL RECORD. 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.
12
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. Parents may obtain educational information (grades, GPA, etc.) by obtaining consent from their student. purdue.edu/registrar/FERPA/Students_ ParentsBrochure.html
collegiateparent.com/school/purdue-university
TO STUDENT RECORDS
HOW CAN I SEE MY STUDENT’S GRADES? 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 midterm or final grades online, as reported. This is called granting proxy access, and the person 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. Instructions are located at purdue. edu/registrar/currentStudents/students/ myPurdueProxy.html
CAN I SEE MY STUDENT’S BILLING INFORMATION? Similarly 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/tutorials

SHARED MOBILITY Options for shared mobility around Purdue’s campus and the Greater Lafayette community is ever-changing. For the most accurate information on what is currently available, visit the Transportation Service website purdue.edu/transportation
BICYCLE REGISTRATION purdue.edu/bikes Some students who enjoy riding a bicycle prior to coming to college, prefer to bring their own bicycle to campus.

Bicycle registration allows university officials to contact you if there is an issue with your bike, allows you to easily provide proof of ownership should you need assistance with your bike, and helps recover bikes in the event of a bike somehow being lost. Registration is free and can be completed at the Purdue Parking and Transportation office or at PUPD.
20
collegiateparent.com/school/purdue-university
STUDENT PARKING purdue.edu/parking In 2018, Parking Facilities implemented License Plate Recognition (LPR), removing the need for student 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 oncampus parking. “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.
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. Restricted Residence Hall Permits Restricted Parking permits are available to first-year students only with the approval of Parking Facilities, a completed Restricted Permit Application and documentation of one of the following: • Regular medical visits off campus • Classes off campus (excluding the Airport) • Reserve/active military duty • Off-campus employment Restricted parking permits are subject to availability and only valid in the East Airport Lot in spaces posted for residence hall permits. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide any supporting documentation necessary for approval.

STUDENT SUCCESS CONTINUES STUDENT LIFE HAS LAUNCHED STEPS TO LEAPS, A CAMPUSWIDE INITIATIVE GEARED TOWARD BOLSTERING STUDENT SUCCESS. Steps to Leaps is based on a set of five pillars to help students build lifelong habits in areas such as well-being, leadership and professional development, impact, networks and grit. The pillars are a broad representation of life skills that everybody can develop and refine for themselves. Steps to Leaps offers goal setting, action planning, worksheets, short motivational videos and more for self-assessment or facilitator-led assessments to help students celebrate their strengths while learning paths to improvement. Students may navigate the activity and assessment modules contained in a pillar on their own time; faculty and staff may suggest Steps to leaps to a student, hold group sessions or incorporate a pillar into a program already in place; or family members may suggest Steps to leaps to a student who may be struggling or need confidence building. The modules are
26
created as complete lesson plans that guide a facilitator through each step. Steps to Leaps was created to support Generation Z students, with a goal of helping them further develop skills to maximize their talents while minimizing the stress and pressure they put on themselves. “We have approached our model with the understanding that every Purdue student has enormous capacity and talent and, through engaging in these topics, can grow even more,” said Dr. Beth McCuskey, vice provost for student life. Student groups are integral to the program’s success. Residence hall advisors, student groups such as the Purdue Student Government, and Steps to Leaps interns are actively involved in implementing Steps to Leaps.
collegiateparent.com/school/purdue-university
A multidisciplinary group of faculty are engaged in performing research related to Steps to Leaps pillars. The Research Collaborative seeks to establish evidence-based approaches to assessing and enhancing student well-being and resilience Faculty and staff have additionally partnered with Steps to Leaps to implement pillars into curriculums as well as career and academic advising. Coursework, assessments of student success and the implementation of new technology to help students are all part of this work. Learn more about Steps to Leaps by visiting purdue.edu/stepstoleaps.
