Purdue offers orientation seminar for older students

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue University is offering two sessions of an orientation seminar for new students age 23 and older -- one meets three mornings a week, the other one evening each week.

The one-credit course will introduce adult learners to Purdue when the fall semester starts Aug. 25. Student services, university regulations and campus resources will be discussed during the five-week course. Students also will be provided with information about improving study, time management, career planning and testing skills.

The seminar will meet at 9:30 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, or from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays. To register for the course, contact an academic adviser.
