Transfer
Credit
It is very common for students to take classes at other institutions and then transfer the credit to their Purdue academic record. The process of receiving transfer credit for courses taken at campuses other than Purdue - West Lafayette is different depending on the institution.
If you are considering taking classes at another college or university, it is recommended that you begin the process as early as possible. For example, if you are interested in taking summer classes, please try to visit the Credit Evaluation Office or the Office of International Students and Scholars (for non-domestic institutions) by the end of March.
For more information about transferring credit to Purdue, contact the Credit Evaluation Office located in Schleman Hall, room 108. The telephone number is (765) 494-6482.
If you are planning to take courses at institutions outside of the United States, please contact the Office of International Students and Scholars, Schleman Hall, room 136. The telephone number is (765) 494-5770.
Taking Courses at Purdue Regional Campuses
IMPORTANT!!Before taking a course(s) at a regional campus it is highly recommended that you complete a "Transfer Credit Evaluation Form" (CTR Form 5) and submit it to the Credit Evaluation Office, Schleman Hall, room 108.

whether or not the course credit will transfer to Purdue; and
how the credit will appear on your Purdue transcript.
