Students manually schedule themselves in the Scheduling Assistant for summer session instead of submitting a course request form (CRF) and being enrolled via PreRegistration. Registration access begins in January. Read this newsletter to learn how, in addition to other summer session details.

Summer 2026 Registration

Summer 2026 registration season has begun.  Time tickets have opened for most students. Your time ticket is in myPurdue>Register for Classes card>Registration Status & Time Ticket. The full summer Schedule of Classes is also in your myPurdue portal. Online classes are incredibly popular with undergraduate students.  Students can view the full list of online courses on the Think Summer website.  

Students manually schedule themselves in the Scheduling Assistant for summer session instead of completing a course request form (CRF) and being enrolled later. Unsure what this means? Follow this step-by-step video.  

The summer PIN will be needed and it is the same as the spring PIN that you received for Spring 2026. Students are welcome to make an appointment with their primary advisor in BoilerConnect if they are unsure what courses to take.  Students are NOT required to do EEE mentoring for summer registration.

Summer Internships: EEE 39699 Professional Practice Internship Course

Purdue Engineering has waived fees associated with coop/internship courses to encourage all students to enroll so that Purdue can ensure students have a valuable work experience and adequately track experience data.  Students enrolled in EEE 39699 will have tasks in a Brightspace course that Ms. Whelton administers. This is a 0-credit course that will allow you to document your work experience on your permanent Purdue transcript, with a time commitment of approximately 2-3 hours total.  Course dates are: June 15-Aug 4. The course requires permission; when you submit your request, please include the company name and your position title. Email Ms. Whelton (mwhelton@purdue.edu) with questions. See EEE 39699 flyer or the following for further explanation on transcripting work experiences: https://www.opp.purdue.edu/our-programs/academic-internships.  

There are several benefits of registering for EEE 39699 while completing a Work Integrated Learning Experience such as Co-op or Internship. Students enrolled in the course will be able to:

  • Identify and articulate their individual growth in specific technical and professional skills as a result of the experience.

  • Create a record of what was gained through the experience, which will be beneficial for future interviews, resume writing, the overall job search, etc.

  • Internship Course documented on your transcript for future employers to see proof of experiential learning

  • Receive valuable feedback from their employers.

  • Stay connected: During the internship or co-op experience, students are connected to campus via their course instructor.

  • Provide feedback to Purdue about workplace satisfaction, salaries, benefits, etc. 

  • Help Purdue become the #1 university in the U.S. for co-op and internship programs, increasing the value of the Purdue degree.

In addition to registering internship experiences, students may later become eligible to enroll in the co-op program and earn a co-op certificate which will show on the transcript.

Other Summer 2026 info:

MATH Courses: NEW Summer Exam Policy: The Department of Mathematics has encountered challenges in administering exams for students who take courses remotely during the summer. To ensure fair and consistent exam conditions for all students registered for these courses, beginning in Summer 2026, the Department of Mathematics will require that all exams be taken in person, either on campus or at an approved testing center. Testing centers must be certified by an independent agency, such as the NCTA. When taking courses remotely, it will be the student’s responsibility to locate an appropriate testing center near their place of residence. Students will also be responsible for any fees charged by the testing center. For example, Purdue Testing Services charges a fee of $35 per exam. This policy is intended to maintain academic integrity while providing students with reasonable options for completing their exams. Students located near Purdue have the option to take exams on campus (at no cost through the Math Department) with in-person sections of the course. The Purdue Testing Services may also be an option but will involve a cost to students (as noted above).

Scholarships: Advisor-Initiated Scholarship: Advisors can nominate up to three students who would benefit from summer courses to be considered for a scholarship of up to $500. The advisor deadline to nominate is February 28. Preference is given to first-year and second-year students who need to catch up on degree requirements. Reach out to your EEE advisor (Tammi Thayer or Maeve Brewer) if you are interested in this nomination. Click here to see additional summer scholarship opportunities, such as Summer Stay, Summer Internship Plus, etc.  

Summer Financial Aid: All students interested in receiving summer financial aid need to complete the Summer Aid Application. The Summer Aid Application will be available in a student's myPurdue account under the Financial Tab beginning in March. Initial summer financial aid notifications will begin in May.  If an application is submitted after this time, it will take 1-2 weeks to receive a Financial Aid award notification from that submission date.  All updates are available and viewable on myPurdue. More information is available on the Summer Aid website.

Summer Housing: Undergraduate students who are in need of summer housing and are registered for at least one course can find more information on the Summer Housing. Students completing non-credit internship or research experiences should visit the Summer Intern Housing website.
