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
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.
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 Dean of Admissions

Resources for
Purdue
Families Purdue has multiple resources to help families connect with the University and each other.
8
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.
9
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
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
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.
11
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.
12
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
Purdue University
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: 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 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.

13
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
Services Include: • General medical clinic • Sports medicine • Women’s clinic • 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 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
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.
18
Purdue University
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. 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. For more information, www.purdue.edu/odos.

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.
www.universityparent.com/purdue

Center for
Career Opportunities
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. 22
Purdue University
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%.
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
www.universityparent.com/purdue
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.

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. 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 student consultants

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. Purdue University
