Navigating the Purdue University Calumet system
The Office of the Dean of Students is here to help the student
solve problems he or she is having in the system, and to answer
questions regarding the policies, practices, and procedures of the
University. If the staff does not know the answer to the question or
problem, our promise to the student is that we will find the answer,
or find where the student needs to go to get the answer to the
question or get resolution for the problem.
