Congratulations, You're a Purdue Student!

Welcome to the College of Science! We are excited the share the next four years with you learning about all the things you will accomplish as you chart your course through Purdue. If you're wondering what this might look like, we are happy to share other students' successes with you. Please take a moment to consider their paths, experiences and goals and all the opportunities that Purdue and the College of Science will provide for you. We can't wait to see what you will do!

 

Your first course schedule

You will have your Fall 2023 schedule in mid-July. Please watch your Purdue email for your notice. Once you have had a chance to review your courses, follow these recommendations.

  • Discuss your schedule with your advisor if you did not get a critical course for your major or your registration is under 12 credits. Your advisor will review your schedule and provide course recommendations.
  • If you are considering any schedule changes get your advisor's recommendation first to ensure your course schedule meets your degree requirements.
  • Questions about Purdue and our resources? Your advisor is your strongest ally in your success. Stay in touch!
  • Contact your advisor to discuss changing a course that was an alternate to a priority course. If space is available in a priority course, your advisor will instruct you on how to change your schedule.
  • Rely on friends, family or other students for questions other than academics and degree planning. Contact your advisor to share your questions and get expert advice. 

Viewing Your Fall 2023 Schedule of Classes

After receiving your schedule notice e-mail from the Registrar, you can view your schedule by following the instructions below:

  1. Go to www.mypurdue.purdue.edu and log in.

  2. Select the “ACADEMICS” tab on the side black ribbon and click My Courses

  3. Select “Week-At-A-Glance” to view your courses in a grid format. Choose 8/23/2023 to view your fall schedule.

    • This view will show your courses in a grid view for that week. Please note: you could have courses that have a section or component that does not meet every week. It is important to view both MY COURSES and the WEEK AT A GLANCE to see your entire fall registration.Select “Detail Schedule” to view your courses in a list format.

Advisors will be answering e-mails with immediate scheduling concerns after schedules are released. If you receive an out-of-office response from your advisor, send your email to newstudentsci@purdue.edu and another advisor will help you. Please include your Name, Student ID and reason for your email. 

 

Changing your schedule

Be very careful when dropping a critical or major course as the space you drop will be available to other students. If a space becomes unavailable, this could result in the inability to take a course that is required in your first semester. The University is not obligated to provide you with another space in a course in this instance.

Many courses have linked sections. You must register for all sections of a course.  For example, a laboratory course requires a lecture, lab and recitation section. You will see that one section of a course contains the credits with the others showing zero credits. They are all part of the same course and must be submitted together.  

You will use Scheduling Assistant to add and drop changes to your schedule. You can make schedule changes once open enrollment opens through August 25.

If you have discussed a schedule change with your advisor via e-mail, and have your advisor's recommendation, follow the directions below to change your schedule.
