Please be sure the form includes the course title, course number, CRN, and the Social Security Number. We cannot process the application without the social security number. Each instructor has this information for the respective courses. Please provide the name(s) of the college/university in the sections indicated on the form. If you have any questions, please call (219) 989-2326.
2. All in-state and out-of-state students will pay $768.30 for a 3-hour class, $512.20 for a two-hour class, and $256.10 for a 1-hour class for courses that do not use Blackboard Vista course management software. All in-state and out-of-state students using Blackboard Vista will pay $845.13 for a 3-hour class, $563.42 for a two-hour class, and $281.71 for a one-hour class. All checks are made payable to Purdue University Calumet. Due to a new process with West Lafayette, the final registration process takes two weeks. Students paying with a credit card need to contact Virginia Rhodes at (219) 989-2326 to request their PUID number. Once the student receives this number, they need to contact the registrar’s office, (219) 989-2301, with the credit card information. Refund Policy:  No refund after class begins.
3. Students will automatically receive an email from West Lafayette when Virginia Rhodes enters data into the student database. Please inform all of your students to disregard the email.

Purdue University Calumet, Graduate School of Education
Virginia Rhodes, 2200 169th Street, Hammond, IN 46323
219-989-3215 (Fax)

5. Please be aware that the PUC advisor needs to provide prior authorization if the 591 course will be used as an elective in the Master’s program course of study. All 589 and 591 courses may be used for license renewal without approval from the respective advisor.
6. A list of all registered students will be sent to the instructor. The final date to register is April 16, 2010.
7. Upon completion of the course, the instructor(s) will send a list of students’ grades to Helen by May 14, 2010. Grades will not be mailed to the students. Students will need to contact Virginia Rhodes for their PUID number, and access their grades from the PC Start link on the PUC website http://www.calumet.purdue.edu/ after May 30.

Transcript Process

Students may contact the PUC Registrar’s Office, 219-989-2210, after May 30 to verify fall courses have been posted to official transcripts.  At that time, a student can actually request his/her transcript by answering a few questions.  The student will then need to come to the Office of the Registrar, Enrollment Service Center, Lawshe 130 to pick up the transcript with a picture id.  If the student doesn’t call ahead, they will need to complete a transcript request form at the Registrar’s Office in the Enrollment Service Center, Lawshe 130 after May 30 and wait while the clerk prints their transcript.

They may also Fax a request to West Lafayette, 765-494-0570, requesting a copy of their transcript. The request must include their name, PUID or SS#, signature, and the time of course completion. The student must sign the request for transcripts that is being sent to Lafayette. Without the student’s signature, Lafayette will not mail anything out.
