Welcome to Purdue ECE!
We are so glad you’ve chosen to join our school. Starting a new position can be a bit overwhelming, so we’ve tried to consolidate all the information you need in one place.
Before Arrival
- Follow this relocation checklist for some general moving tips.
- Register for New Employee Orientation. Faculty who aren't starting in the fall are encouraged to attend New Employee Orientation, which covers history, safety, and benefits. Faculty starting in the fall will be invited to a separate faculty onboarding that occurs yearly in August.
- Contact ECN (esite@ecn.purdue.edu) to set up your email and BoilerKey, and inquire about computer and IT-related information, if any.
- Contact the Facility Manager, Steve Devault, for office space and phone, and when and where to get your office keys.
- Contact the Administrative Manager and Assistant to the Head, Karen Jurss, to schedule your first meeting with the ECE Head, Dimitrios Peroulis, and to also connect you to your administrative support person. Please notify Karen Jurss of your anticipated arrival date.
- Contact the ECE Communications Office (akbowers@purdue.edu) to provide the following information so that you can be added to the ECE website directory and all appropriate mail lists.
- Email address
- Office and phone
- Title of your position
- Administrative area
- Headshot (if none available, arrange to have photo taken by the Communications Office)
First day
- Attend New Employee Orientation.
- Meet the head of the school, Dimitrios Peroulis
- Complete the online onboarding forms through SuccessFactors, found at OnePurdue, the first tab Employee Launchpad (SAP SuccessFactors) at the top.
- Get a Purdue ID card (PUID). The PUID is a 10-digit number unique to you. The number is printed on your Purdue Photo ID and your primary identification within Purdue. This number will be issued after you are entered into the Purdue employment system.
- If you choose to park your car anywhere on campus, you'll need to get a parking permit.
First 3 days
- Once you get BoilerKey set up, then you need to login to OnePurdue, our employee portal. Then click on the tab of Employee Launchpad (SAP SuccessFactors) at the top. This is where you enter your important personal information, such as your name, address, and bank account for your paycheck. You can update this information whenever needed (for example, changing your address).
- Taxes: OnePurdue's employee self service also contains important tax forms. Fill the following out as soon as possible:
- W-4 form, for withholding. You can fill it out online, or if you prefer, paper forms are available.
- Electronic W-2 (administered by the company ADP), which gives you quick online access to your tax statements 10 days before paper copies, without worrying about mail delivery issues.
- International employees must complete the Glacier Arctic International Tax Compliance Summary. The employee will receive an email from support@online-tax.net with the link to access and complete his/her international tax information in the Glacier software. After completed, print the forms that the system prompts you to print. Sign and date all forms and submit them to the ECE business office.
