It is the student’s responsibility to
complete the Plan of Study for graduation by the end of the semester
before she/he is planning to graduate. For example, if you
plan on graduating at the end of Spring semester and wish to walk
in the May graduation ceremony, your completed Plan of Study should
be provided to your advisor by the end of Fall semester. The
form needs to be completed and sent electronically to your advisor
(i.e., attached to an email in a Word document). It is crucial
that you complete your Plan of Study on time, as it is a requirement
to graduate. A sample Plan of Study has been provided for
you. You can use PC Star to check your coursework. If
you have questions, contact your advisor.
It is recommended that you keep track of your Plan of Study from
the beginning of your program.
- Download a copy of the blank Plan of Study (above)
on to a disk, hard drive, etc.
- Print a copy to keep track of your coursework, completion dates,
etc.
- You will be asked to have an updated Plan of Study completed
for practicum course.
- The semester before you graduate, complete a Plan of Study
electronically (i.e., in Word) and email a copy to your advisor. Put
your final semester of coursework on the Plan of Study with the
anticipated completion dates.
- You will be asked to come in and sign the Plan
of Study when it is approved by Purdue University Calumet. Click

Tips to Make The Application Process Go Smoothly
Once you are admitted to a program, an understanding of administrative
procedures will make your experience more enjoyable and positive. The
following, therefore, are tips that will help you find your way
through the bureaucracy and finish your program in a timely and
successful manner.
- All of our graduate programs are housed in the Graduate Studies
in Education (GSE) office. We are located in the GYTE Annex,
Room 122, and our phone number is 219-989-2326. The office personnel
are Virginia Rhodes, secretary and Dr. Robert Colon, GSE Department Head.
- During the admissions process, please check with Virginia regularly to make certain that necessary paperwork is completed
on time. Your
admission to a program will not occur until all of the required
materials are received. It is your responsibility to make
certain that all necessary documents are requested and sent to
our office. You can save yourself much time and trouble
by being conscientious in the gathering of required documentation.
- Once you are admitted, you must register for classes. PUC
allows registration online. However, you cannot register
for courses in GSE programs without permission from your advisor. It
is important, therefore, to find out when registration begins
each semester, see your advisor about appropriate coursework,
and register in a timely fashion. Failure to get your advisor’s
permission may result in your being dropped from a class for
which you registered. Because of state and federal requirements,
it is necessary for us to sequence our programs and supervise
enrollment carefully. Please do not cause difficulties
for yourself by omitting this most important step. Registration
dates are posted on calendars located all over campus, including
our GSE office.
- Another necessary step towards completion of your graduate
program is the Plan of Study (POS). It is a contract
between you and your advisor establishing the specific program
that you will complete. Once the POS is signed, even if
the program changes, you will not be required to make any modifications
of your course of study. The window of opportunity
for completing a POS is from the time you are admitted (and any
conditions of admission are completed) until the semester before
you intend to graduate. During this window, it is your
responsibility to contact your advisor and request that a POS
be completed. Again, please heed this reminder so that
you do not delay your graduation.
In
other parts of this handbook, you will find information about
the portfolio and the internship. Please
pay careful attention to the details of completion of both of these
most important parts of your program so that you do not delay your
graduation and licensure.
