Researching Course Offerings 

To research course offerings, view the schedule of classes, which lists the courses that are offered each semester. The classes that will be available when you are here will be posted during the semester prior to your arrival (mid-October for spring semester and early March for fall semester).

To search the schedule of classes:

• Choose a comparable semester (spring or fall) to when you will be here in the Term pull-down menu.
• Once on the Class Schedule Search page, you must select a Subject, and
• You must choose Campus: West Lafayette. If you fail to do this, you will see courses that are offered at distant Purdue campuses that you cannot take.
• Courses numbered 49900 and below are undergraduate classes and 50000 and above are graduate-level classes. Occasionally, but not always, advanced undergraduate students are able to take one 50000-level class; 60000-level classes are not an option.

The schedule of classes will allow you to view a description of each course. If you need more detailed information, please contact your international programs office. Until you’ve been admitted to Purdue, we ask that you not contact the academic departments or faculty members here.

Registration 

Once you have been officially admitted to Purdue, you will be assigned an academic advisor. Your academic advisor’s contact information will be included in your acceptance packet.

Your advisor will receive information about your academic background as well as the classes that you listed on your application as the ones you wish to take while at Purdue. He or she will assist you with the course registration process.

If you have questions about registration or need to change the courses that you’d like to take while at Purdue, email your academic advisor.
