Welcome to STAR 2012

June 18 - July 12, 2012

STAR (Summer Transition, Advising, and Registration) is Purdue's required orientation program for new, domestic, first-year and transfer students. During STAR you spend a full day (from 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) attending orientation sessions, meeting your academic advisor, registering for fall semester classes, and getting ready to begin your academic career at Purdue in August.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to visit your assigned residence hall, take placement and advanced credit exams, visit bookstores, and get financial aid information. Parents and other family members are welcome to join you!

For more information, visit the main STAR website.

Domestic Students:

Students must register themselves for STAR online using the myPurdue portal. If you have questions about how to register for STAR, contact the SATS (Student Access, Transition and Success) Programs office at (765) 494-9328. If you are unable to attend STAR for any reason you should also contact the SATS office.

International Students:

International students are not required to attend STAR.  However, they are encouraged to be in contact with the USP office before and/or during STAR so that they may register for their fall semester classes before arriving on campus in August.
