Registration Information for Students Off Campus
Spring 2012
Registration and Scheduling
Students off campus for the spring semester participating co-op or internship work sessions or a study abroad experience are exempt from the in person appointment requirement. Advising will be handled via email to ensure students in this situation receive similar checks and balances as those attending appointments.
Most, if not all, of you will complete this email contact prior to the Fall 2012 Schedule of Classes and time tickets being published on MyPurdue. The process below assumes this information is available prior to your “appointment”. For planning purposes, reference the fall 2011 schedule on myPurdue as a guide to offerings outside of Chemical Engineering. It won’t be exact, but it should allow you to form a tentative schedule. The course schedule for CHE courses for fall 2012 is available in the Registration Resources below. It’s important to have a comprehensive plan put together when sending your email, so plan as best you can - minor adjustments may need to be made once the full schedule of classes is available, but that is manageable.
Registering for courses from off campus can be easy, if you follow these steps:
- Prepare for your advising interaction and watch your Purdue e-mail for additional instructions.
- Send a timely and complete email to Veronica per instructions below.
- Prepare for online myPurdue registration
- When your Time Ticket date arrives, register for courses using myPurdue
- Pay your tuition and fees
- Change your schedule after registration, as needed.
Advising Process for Registration
IMPORTANT: On myPurdue, verify your local and permanent addresses, as well as your emergency contact information. Click on the “Academic” tab. At the top left of the page below "Quick Links" and "Personal Information" are several links to update this information.
- Print out the appropriate Plan of Study
- Mark the courses you’ve taken and are currently taking on the plan, so you know which courses you still need to take.
- Access any of the Registration Resources you need in order to make course decisions.
- Determine your intended courses
- Email your list of intended courses for summer and/or fall 2010 to vaschirm@purdue.edu. This email should include any questions you have as well. Please be clear and concise regarding your plan.
- Your plan will be checked against your current progress toward graduation just as is done for students attending appointments in person. Any questions or concerns will be noted in a reply. Once your plan is settled, you will receive your PIN via email.
Time Ticket Information
A “Time Ticket” is a range dates and times you are allowed to register for courses on myPurdue based on your classification. You can see your Time Ticket beginning on March 12. Log into myPurdue, click on the Academic Tab and then on the Registration Status link.
Your Time Ticket might look a little strange at first. It will have several lines. The first line indicates the day and time you can start registering. The two lines of times combine to make one continuous block of time. For example:
|
April 16, 2012 01:00 pm - April 16, 2012 11:59 pm |
|
April 17, 2012 12:00 am - April 21, 2012 11:59 am |
In the above example, you could begin registering at 1:00 p.m. on April 16 and can continue to make additions and changes through April 21 at noon. Remember that 12:00 a.m.= midnight and 12:00 p.m. = noon.
Here are the estimated Time Tickets for the Summer and Fall 2012 registration. Your classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.) is based on the number of credit hours you have completed and passed (F's don't count). These hours do include advanced placement, foreign language placement credit, and transfer credit.

Prepare for Registration on myPurdue
- Check for holds on myPurdue by clicking on the "Academic" tab, then on the "Do I have any Holds?" link under "Registration Tools" category. Clear any Holds you may have as soon as possible to ensure your ability to register for classes.
-
Start looking up courses and times using the "Look Up Classes" link under the "Academic" tab on myPurdue.
- Check each course for pre-requisites and restrictions. These are indicated by an "R" in a gray circle on the far right of the page.
- Look for the Red Flag icon! This means that this course has multiple, linked sections that must be added simultaneously. These other sections might be labs, recitations, or practice-study-observations (PSOs) that accompany the lecture.
- Use a Schedule of Classes Grid to write down both the time and date of a course section along with its CRN (Course Registration Number). This will make it easier to add courses on myPurdue.
Register for Courses on myPurdue
Watch for your Time Ticket under the "Academic" tab. As soon as you are allowed to register, do so to obtain the best times. If you have done your research, this should go smoothly. However, if you run into problems, please contact your advisor!
After Registration
Tuition and fees must be paid before the date printed on your e-bill, available on myPurdue. If your payment is not received prior to the start of the second week of classes, then your registration will be cancelled. You will then be charged a $200 late fee after re-registering for classes.
Changing Your Schedule After Registration
- Open registration for all students starts April 23, 2012. You can do this from any computer with an internet connection as long as you have your Alternate PIN available.
- Make all schedule changes BEFORE the first day of classes. If you don't, you risk losing your seat in your class. Starting on the first day of classes in any semester, students can no longer re-add sections they have dropped. This makes it impossible to change courses with multiple sections without standing in long lines at your advisor's and the Registrar's office.
- Lost Your Alternate PIN? Once you have used your PIN at least once, you can look it up on myPurdue by clicking on the “Academic” tab, then “Registration PIN”, and finally select the term.
