What to Do Next

Once you leave campus and return home, you may wonder what is next. You will want to keep your Purdue Career Account login information somewhere safe and where you can access it later. If you later attend Purdue for another summer term as a high school student or attend Purdue as a college student, you will use the Purdue ID (PUID) assigned to you during the Summer College admission process and the login you created when you accepted the offer for our program.
Since all courses are for college credit, you will be eligible to receive a Purdue transcript. Grades should be finalized by mid-August, meaning your transcript should be available mid to late August.
To view your unofficial transcript (grades), you will need to access your myPurdue account. You will navigate to the Academics page -> Grades & Transcripts card -> View Unofficial Transcript. Here you will be able to see your grade for the course, or for some of our courses, Pass or No Pass. If you need assistance with your login information, please reach out to the IT department at (765) 494-4000, and they can assist with resetting your password or retrieving your username.
To receive a copy of your official transcript or to get a copy of your transcript sent to another university/program, you will need to order a copy through the National Student Clearinghouse Transcript Ordering Service here. You can view more details about this process on the Registrar’s website here. For additional assistance viewing or ordering transcripts, please reach out to the Registrar directly at registrar@purdue.edu.
All credits attempted at Purdue, which includes those taken as a high school student, count towards your grade point average (GPA) at Purdue University.
If you are a rising sophomore or junior interested in joining us again next summer, the application for summer of 2027 will open on December 1st, 2026, with a priority deadline of February 1st, 2027. The official course list will be posted by December 1st, although we hope to offer many of the same courses again next year. You can keep an eye on our website here for additional information as it comes out.
If you are a rising senior planning to apply to Purdue, we would love for you to come to Early Start the summer after you are admitted. Early Start is an opportunity for admitted students (rising Purdue freshmen) to come to campus in July and get a head start by moving in early and taking classes. It is a great opportunity for incoming students to get settled in and acclimate to campus ahead of the August rush. You can learn more on the Early Start website here.
