Frequently Asked Questions for Parents

How does my student register for classes?
Most students will register for classes during the Day on Campus program in June and July. Those students who are not able to register at this time should contact the school to which they have been admitted to make other arrangements.


How Safe is the Purdue Campus?

The Lafayette-West Lafayette area is known for being a safe and secure place to live, work, and study. Purdue's police force, one of the largest university police forces in the nation, serves the community in partnership with the West Lafayette police, Lafayette police, county sheriff, and state police. A network of 100 phone boxes allows students to summon emergency assistance no matter where they are on the campus. For more information on safety programs and crime statistics, visit the Purdue Police Web site.
