The Latest from Distance Learning

How do students sign up for a Distance Learning Class?

  • Students need a Form 23 completed by their Academic Advisor.  This form needs to list the exact class/classes a student may take.  Before a student is sent over to the Distance Learning Office, please make sure that they do not need an over-ride for credit hours.
  • ICN Form & ICN Authorization Form are required.
  • Students can schedule an appointment (765.494.8619) or come to walk-in hours prior to 4:30pm.

How does a student drop an ICN course?

  • A student still needs a completed Form 23 by their advisor & then needs to take the form to the Distance Learning Office.  The same Office of the Registrar deadline applies to ICN courses.

When will you post Summer & Fall 2012 ICN Courses?

  • These classes should post around March 16th.

How can we get more ICN & Online Purdue-based classes offered in the future?

  • Contact Lindsay Roberts—lindsayroberts@purdue.edu or 765.494.2973

What do Academic Advisors need to know about Distance Learning?

  • Distance Learning does not have Academic Advisors on staff.  Students must have a list of specific classes needed on the Form 23.
  • Distance Learning cannot add students into Online Purdue-based classes.  Students will still need a Form 23, instructor permission, schedule deputy permission, and take the Form 23 to Hovde 45 for processing.
  • Students will not be able to enroll in ICN courses until the Purdue options are full.

Is there flexibility with deadlines or any open-enrollment classes?

  • At this point in time, no.  There are no year-long classes available anymore.  There may be 6-month options available through Vincennes (for possible emergency situations).  Contact Lindsay directly for more information about this, if needed.

How would you like for us to handle students who need to sign up for Summer or Fall 2012 ICN courses if they have left campus?

  • A student’s Academic Advisor will need to complete the Form 23.  This form can be scanned & then emailed to the Distance Learning Office along with the email from the student requesting to add the class (from his/her Purdue email address).  The student should also submit the ICN Form & ICN Authorization Form to The Distance Learning Office.  The Advisor should then put the original copies in campus mail to the Distance Learning Office.

How soon can students start signing up for Summer or Fall 2012 ICN courses & do they need to pay ahead for Summer ICN courses & how do they show proof of payment?

  • Students can begin signing up for Summer & Fall 2012 ICN courses starting on March 20th.
  • Students still must pay ahead for Summer ICN Courses.  They should pay for ICN course(s) at the Bursar’s Office & show the receipt to the Distance Learning Office.  Students who receive Financial Aid should print off proof of financial aid from mypurdue & bring this when signing up for an ICN course for this summer.
