Message from Beth McCuskey, Vice Provost for Student Life

MESSAGE FROM

BETH MCCUSKEY

VICE PROVOST FOR STUDENT LIFE

Dear Purdue Parents and Families,

Welcome to the Purdue community! When your student becomes a Boilermaker, their families and parents become Boilermakers, too. Purdue Parent & Family Connections, part of the division of Student Life, is the university’s point of contact for families. Our team provides parents and families with information, resources, tools and more to support your student’s experience. Our work brings together housing, activities, arts, people, programs and more to create a vibrant residential experience. Our team of dedicated professionals in Student Life helps Boilermakers find their home on campus with their support of these core components of the Purdue experience.

As a parent, I remember my two children going off to college and how the college drop-off brought me moments of joy and uneasiness. With a recent graduate and another child going through college, I

understand there will be a few bumps along the road. Supporting your student through their challenges makes their successes even more rewarding. I am confident you will enjoy this exciting time as you build independence in your students and foster their success.

To navigate their journey, I would like to introduce you to Steps to Leaps, a dynamic resource focused on enhancing and improving student well-being. Steps to Leaps was founded by students for students and is based on academic research and best practices for college students. Under the framework of wellbeing, students can leverage Steps to Leaps’ resources and opportunities to set themselves up for a lifetime of success.

We have been working on this awardwinning initiative in Student Life since 2019. Through partnerships with students and organizations across the campus and community, we continue to weave the

Steps to Leaps framework into the Purdue experience. The Steps to Leaps pillars — well-being, leadership, impact, building networks and grit/persistence — foster growth in your Boilermaker to ensure they are ready to succeed beyond Purdue.

Parent & Family Connections is one of the 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. When you see or hear about Steps to Leaps resources, you will know they are something to highlight with your student. You can find helpful resources on the Steps to Leaps website. 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 bring together all the pieces of Purdue that contribute to a fulfilling 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 tools and support for your student while they are on campus. This handbook is a resource to help you and your Boilermaker navigate the Purdue experience. 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 toward achieving their educational goals and fostering their independence.

We are excited to partner with you throughout your Boilermaker’s educational journey.

Boiler Up! With Gratitude,

Beth McCuskey Vice Provost for Student Life

Message from Kate Sermersheim, Dean of Students

MESSAGE FROM KATIE SERMERSHEIM, DEAN OF STUDENTS

Welcome to the Boilermaker family!

Congratulations to your student on all their great accomplishments to get them to Purdue University. Your support has helped them get here and we look forward to aiding you in your new role as a coach for your college student. Your guidance and encouragement will be instrumental as your Boilermaker works to pursue their Giant Leap at Purdue.

Boilermakers are granted many great opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. Along with these opportunities come 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 student make informed decisions. ODOS consists of specialized areas, including Center for Advocacy, Response and Education; Counseling and Psychological Services; Fraternity, Sorority and Cooperative Life; OffCampus Housing; 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 the second floor of Schleman Hall and ask to speak with a student support specialist or call our office at (765) 494-1747, Monday–Friday, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (EST). If your student needs a service, our team will help them identify and access resources on campus or, if needed, in the community.

On behalf of the University, I welcome your family to Purdue!

Katie Sermersheim Senior Associate Vice Provost and Dean of Students

FERPA AND PARENT ACCESS TO STUDENT EDUCATION AND FINANCIAL RECORDS

FERPA and Parent Access to Student Education and Financial Records

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.

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. See details at purdue.edu/registrar/FERPA.

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 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/guardians as an Authorized User which gives parents/guardians access to secured billing information and gives the Bursar permission to speak to you about specific information pertaining to your student. Learn how to set this up at purdue.edu/treasurer/finance/bursaroffice/tutorials.

RIGHT AT HOME

Purdue will become your student’s home for the next few years. There are a number of options for your Boilermaker to call home while attending Purdue.

University Residences

+ housing.purdue.edu

+ (765) 494-1000

First-year students are not required to live in University Residences housing, but many do. With numerous living options, there is a place for everyone. Organized floor events, study groups, intramural sports — residential life provides a safe environment with opportunities galore.

DINING & CULINARY

Mission Statement:

Purdue Dining & Culinary designs culinary experiences to meet the needs of the Purdue campus community. By crafting a residential dining experience and fostering community building, Dining & Culinary is an essential support system for the well-being of students with compassion that goes beyond the meal.

Dining & Culinary champions each step Boilermakers take on their academic journey and impacts the student experience through service, quality and care for every individual.

New Meal Plans

Meal plans have been simplified for 2024–25, with more options to choose from. Whether students are always on the go, looking for more Dining Dollars to enjoy retail options or want to eat in a dining court, Dining & Culinary offers six options to choose from. With a variety of rates, options are available to fit your budget.

Beginning students can choose a traditional plan that includes an Unlimited, 14, 10, or 7 meal swipes each week. The meal plans run Monday through Sunday each week of the semester. All meal plans reset Sunday night for the following week and unused meals will be forfeited.

URBA residents and commuter students who have previously lived in University Residences can choose from a 50- or 80- Block Plan, which give you a block of meal swipes to use per semester.

Eating on campus is easy with any Purdue Dining & Culinary meal plan. Dining & Culinary offers five all-youcare-to-eat dining courts, four Onthe-GO! locations and three Quick Bite locations. In addition, there are over 30 retail locations operated by Aramark (Purdue Food Co.) and Chick-fil-A. Once your student has a meal plan, their student ID works like a debit card. Swipe the card and the meal swipe or Dining Dollars are automatically deducted from their account.

Components of a Meal Plan

Meal Allowance = Meal Swipe

This is the number of meal swipes that you can use each week based on the Track Plan (Unlimited,14, 10 or 7) in any Purdue Dining & Culinary location.

Five Dining Courts:

• Hillenbrand Dining Court

• Earhart Dining Court

• Windsor Dining Court

• Wiley Dining Court

• Ford Dining Court

Four On-the-Go Locations:

• Earhart On-the-GO!

• Windsor On-the-GO!

• Ford On-the-GO!

• Lawson On-the-GO!

Three

Quick Bite Locations:

• 1Bowl @ Meredith Hall

• Sushi Boss @ Meredith Hall

• Pete’s Za @ Tarkington Hall

The cashier will deduct one meal from your plan upon entering these locations. Students can also take their meal to go from the dining courts by informing the cashier when they enter the dining court.

Dining Dollars

This feature is accepted at all five dining courts, Chick-fil-A and Aramark locations. Dining Dollars work like a debit card. Each time your student makes a purchase, the total is subtracted from the balance in their account. Dining Dollars for all meal plans are distributed by semester – half in the fall and half in the spring. Unused Dining Dollars carry over from the fall to spring semester and expire when the meal contract ends after finals week in May.

eAccounts + purdue.edu/eaccounts

The Purdue eAccounts portal lets your student manage accounts associated with their Purdue Mobile ID. For more information about eAccounts, visit the ID Card Operations website. Through eAccounts, students can view their online statements, meal transactions, Dining Dollars, Retail Dining Membership or BoilerExpress balances.

Student Transportation & Parking On and Around Campus

TRANSPORTATION & PARKING

ON AND AROUND CAMPUS

Transportation + purdue.edu/transportation

Bicycles/Micromobility

(E-Scooter, E-Skateboard, E-Bike):

All bicycles and micromobility vehicles must be locked to a bike rack. If not properly locked, then vehicles may be impounded. Electric or Motor Powered Vehicles (EMPV) are NOT permitted to charge in dorm rooms or university buildings.

Register your bicycle or EMPV with Parking Operations using Garage 529. Registration provides a record of ownership should your vehicle be lost or stolen.

The speed limit on all bike paths, cycle tracks and multi-use paths is 15 mph.

To purchase an affordable bike, please visit Purdue Surplus at 700 Ahlers Drive, or through purdue.edu/surplus.

Learn more about riding a bicycle or EMPV at Purdue, including registration information, by visiting purdue.edu/bikes.

Veo

Veo is the e-bike and e-scooter share service partnered with Purdue. Veo scooters must be parked at bike rack locations or Veo-approved designated locations. Download the Veo app to operate.

CityBus

CityBus provides free rides to locations on campus to anyone with a valid PUID. Visit GoCityBus.com to find the best route information to get you where you need to go.

Zipcar

Purdue is proud to partner with Zipcar to offer a parking alternative that also includes access to Zipcars parked across the city. Visit the Purdue Parking website for more information including Zipcar locations.

Student Parking

+ purdue.edu/parking

Parking Facilities uses 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.

“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.

Steps to Leaps is a unique framework in that Purdue University sees every student as a person who can excel on his or her own path to achieve personal goals. Steps to Leaps is a positive affirmation of each student’s past, present and future. No goal or dream is too small or too large.

Abundant Resources To Help

No two students come from the same type of background. With Purdue’s support and resources, each student is capable of fostering a growth mindset. Steps to Leaps provides guideposts for students to find support within the five pillar areas: well-being, leadership, impact, networks and grit/persistence.

Growth Mindset

People are born with unique genetic structures, meaning they are initially better than others at different tasks. However, individuals with a growth mindset understand that their abilities can be developed. One can always improve, catch up to or even surpass others’ natural talents. Steps to Leaps is grounded in the philosophy of the growth mindset.

Purdue University is constantly evolving to support a culture of thriving students.

As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.”

—Angela Duckworth, author of Grit

The Steps to Leaps pillars provide a framework for student learning. By providing them opportunities to grow their skills within the pillar areas of well-being, leadership, impact, networks and grit/persistence, students will thrive academically, psychologically

and socially. As a university, we strive to emulate the five pillars of Steps to Leaps in all areas of campus to unify Purdue’s voice around student well-being.

Beyond the Classroom

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 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 boilerlink.purdue.edu!

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.

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.

Center for Career Opportunities (CCO)

+ 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 beginning in their freshman year, if they are thinking about changing their major, when deciding which student organizations to join and to develop strategies for navigating career fairs, internships and other work experiences.

Building Community

COMMUNITY BUILDING

Finding a “home” on campus — a place where they belong — is an important part of college life. Your student will find their footing, make campus their own and establish lifelong friendships.

Here are some of the ways your student can find their home at Purdue.

Safety On Campus

ON CAMPUS SAFETY

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.

Police

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. For all non-emergency concerns, call 765-494-8221. This number goes directly to the Purdue Police Dispatch Center for all non-emergency help and assistance regarding police, fire and medical issues.

Emergency Telephone System

To reach Purdue Public Safety dispatch, your student can push the button on one of the nearly 300 emergency telephone system (ETS) boxes placed throughout campus or by texting or dialing 911 (calling is preferred).

Emergency Preparedness and Planning

Each building on campus 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 at the beginning of each semester. For more preparedness tips and tools, go to the Emergency Preparedness and Planning website, purdue.edu/ehps/emergency_ preparedness.

Integrated Emergency Management Plan

The Emergency Preparedness and Planning Office oversees the emergency preparedness and planning activities on campus. This office has developed an Integrated Emergency Management Plan (IEMP) as a reference for emergency/ disaster information and the basic source of data to accomplish various types of emergency missions. It is designed to bring the user to the point of knowing what is to be done and who is to do it. It may include information relative to when and where the response will be effective and even why it will be done.

PurdueALERT

If an emergency should occur on campus, your student will be notified using our multi-layered PurdueALERT emergency notification and timely warning system. They will need to opt-in to receive messages. This system includes text messaging, all-hazards outdoor warning sirens, X (formerly Twitter) feed, digital signage, desktop pop-ups and beacons, plus a website for prolonged campus emergencies or changes in operational status ( purdue.edu/ea). Layers will be tested each semester to be sure that the Purdue community is prepared for emergencies.

RESOURCES FOR

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Purdue has a vested interest in your student’s success and provides the resources students need to do well academically.

Academic and Faculty Advisors

Every semester, students will meet with either their academic advisor or faculty advisor. The advisor’s role is to take a holistic view of each student in order to maximize the student’s educational experience. This is done by assisting students in defining, planning and achieving their educational, personal and career goals. Advisors are a great front-line guide for students during their academic journey.

Faculty and Course Instructors

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.

Helen Bass Williams Academic Success Center

The Helen Bass Williams Academic Success Center (ASC) offers a wide variety of support services that are free and available to all Purdue undergraduate students.

Supplemental Instruction

SI-linked courses and session information is available on the ASC website and the SI Info Page on Brightspace.

Peer Success Coaching

A Peer Success Coach (PSC) is a trained undergraduate student leader who strategies, resources, accountability, and support for students as they establish academic, personal and/or social goals, develop strategies to work toward those goals and navigate challenges that may pop-up along the way.

Accountability Groups

These weekly, 90-minute group meetings allow students to connect with peers and a facilitator as they discuss strategies, resources and challenges and set weekly goals and action items. Part of each weekly session includes approximately an hour of individually focused time to work

toward action items such as assignments, studying, etc. Students must sign up for an accountability group through the ASC website.

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. ASC consultants are not able to discuss course registration or plans of study- students should meet with their academic advisor for these important conversations.

Offered on a variety of topics (planning and organizing your semester, time management strategies, exam preparation and more), workshops are an interactive, small-group opportunity to learn and begin utilizing strategies for success. Workshop offerings and optional registration are available on the ASC website.
