Instructions on how to request accommodations through the Disability Resource Center (DRC). The DRC supports students with all kinds of disabilities and diagnoses.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Disability Resource Center collaborates with students, faculty, and staff to create usable, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable learning environments. However, there may be times when there are aspects of the instruction or design of your courses that result in barriers to your inclusion or to accurate assessment of achievement. When that is the case, the DRC staff will work with you to arrange for accommodations.

Request an Accommodation

Get Connected with the DRC

The following video will walk you through how to get connected with the DRC.

Exam Accommodations

The following accommodations are the most common examples, though they are certainly not an exhaustive list of all possible accommodations.

The first steps for a student to receive their exam accommodations are:

1. Review the course syllabus

2. Have a conversation with your instructor. Each instructor handles accommodations and assessments differently so having this conversation is important. Some instructors will opt for online exams/quizzes that will be utilizing online proctors while others may choose for a traditional paper/pencil version to be proctored in person.

3. If in person exams are needed, the DRC Testing Center will be open to assist in the event that instructors are unable to facilitate a student's accommodated exam. To learn more about how request an exam with the DRC Testing Center, please visit our DRC Testing Center page.

Extended Time

Approved extended time is applicable when the exam has a pre-set limited amount of working time. The pre-set (class time) should be multiplied by what the Course Accessibility Letter states.

If the exam is available for a period of time (such as a day or several days), but you have a defined amount of working time once the exam is opened, your extended time would be applied as is done for an in-class exam.

If the exam is available for several days with no specific amount of time given for the exam, then extended time is generally not applied when the working window is 24 hours or more. Should you have any questions on how to apply the extended time accommodation in a particular student/test situation, feel free to consult with the student's Access Consultant ahead of time or send an e-mail to drc@purdue.edu

Tests, quizzes, and exams given may be offered through Brightspace.

In this situation, the platform controls the amount of time and will shut down the exam when the allotted time expires. When the exam has a specific amount of working time, please confirm ahead of time with your instructor they have accounted for your extended time, as it will differ from your classmates who do not have this accommodation.

Your instructor may choose some other means to administer a timed exam. If so, please talk with your instructor to ensure that your start and end times account for your extended time so there is no questions about the amount of time you have to work the exam.

Breaks During Exams

The DRC recommends students with this accommodation get 15% additional time for each exam and quiz. This should be pro-rated based on the time the class has to work on exams. This accommodation is not to be used for working on the exam. It has been determined the student has a condition that requires this accommodation to "take a break" from the exam. If students feel they have a need for longer breaks, on a regular basis, they need to let the faculty member know as well as their Access Consultant. The Access Consultant needs to provide specific guidance to the instructor. Note: As with an in-class exam, the Purdue Code of Honor applies to student's appropriate use of accommodations.

Food/Drink in Classroom Setting

Students are encouraged to speak with their instructors about this particular accommodation in advance to ensure they have a plan for how this would work should they need to take a break. That would include communicating that the student may need to step out for this purpose, planning to sit near the exit so it is less disruptive, and knowing where they may go that is approved for them to remove their face covering while they consume their food or drink. Students should also have a plan for how they might catch up on any content missed while they step away from the classroom and how it may look different in an exam situation. If students or faculty have any concerns about this adjustment, then please notify the student's Access Consultant.

Other Accommodations

Large print and Assistive Technology use on exams

If students have any concerns about the ability to utilize assistive technology on an exam, please contact your instructor and remind them this is one of your accommodations. Be aware that lock down browsers like RESPONDUS, can interfere with various types of assistive technology solutions. If there are questions about the implementation of Assistive Technology for your exams, please contact your Access Consultant.

Peer Note Takers

Based on course design and delivery this accommodation may be less necessary than when you were physically in a class. An email message has been sent both to peer note-takers and students who use this accommodation. Note-takers will continue to take notes and share them with you unless this new online environment changes your access. If you no longer need access to a peer notetaker, please notify your notetaker and drcnotetaking@purdue.edu. If you have questions, please contact your Access Consultant.

Alternative Formats

Prior to purchasing your textbooks and/or sending a request for alternative formats, please search Purdue's online databases for accessible formats. Contact Alternative Formats to register for a free Bookshare subscription.

Finding Accessible Textbooks Steps to Request E-Text

Other Accommodations

If you receive other accommodations that will be impacted by being in an online learning environment, please communicate with your instructor immediately to discuss options. Access barriers cannot be addressed if we do not know about them. The DRC is always available to assist as needed in conversations regarding the implementation of accommodations.

Purdue's Testing Services offers CLEP exams. You can earn a voucher for the CLEP exam fee by taking the associated CLEP course from Modern States. More info on this flyer.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams are administered by Purdue Testing Services year-round by appointment during office hours. Most CLEP exams are 90 minutes long, except Spanish with Writing (110 minutes), However, appointments are set for two hours to allow for administrative time.

For a list of CLEP exams currently accepted by Purdue, please visit the Undergraduate Admissions Transfer Credit site.

Registration

To take a CLEP exam with Purdue Testing Services, please follow the instructions on the CLEP Checklist. These instructions apply only to in-person CLEP exams taken with PTS. Purdue Testing Services is not involved in the administration of CLEP exams taken remotely or at other locations.

Appointments must be made in advance, preferably one week or more in advance. Walk-ins are not allowed. Busy periods for CLEP exams are typically around the first two weeks and last two weeks of the semester.

Register Online

Exam Fee

The cost per CLEP exam (paid to the College Board) is currently $93. Additionally, there is a credit by exam fee to use PTS. The fee is $35 for current Purdue students and $55 for non-students.
Payment must be completed before you can reserve an appointment, and availability is subject to change, so please do not call until you have completed the prior steps on the CLEP Checklist.
The credit by exam fee is non-refundable, and your invoice number will be associated with your appointment. If you no-show, cancel, or reschedule your appointment, you agree to forfeit the fee.

Study Guide

A CLEP study guide is available for use in Purdue Testing Service's office during operating hours. Additional study materials and resources can be found on the CLEP Practice webpage.

Scores

CLEP scores are shown onscreen immediately upon completion of the exam, and you will be provided with a printed score report. (There is an exception for College Composition exams. CLEP essays are scored twice per month, so College Composition scores will be provided 2-3 weeks after testing.) Once you have received a passing score, you will be able to drop or add courses as needed. However, it may take up to 3 weeks for the CLEP credit to appear on your transcript.

The School of Languages and Cultures provides fully-online language placement testing in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. It's available on a continuous basis 24/7/365. No advance registration is necessary. For testing in Arabic and American Sign Language, see below.

Questions? Please email slcplace@purdue.edu

Who should take the placement test?

Students who have had 2 years or more of high school study of a language must take a placement test or complete a placement interview in order to determine their first course in a language sequence. Students should wait until they receive their Placement Test scores to enroll in the correct level. They should not request overrides before they take the test.

Students who have had less than 2 years of high school study, or for whom it has been 3 years or more since their last language course may sit for a placement test or may begin at 10100. NOTE: If students opt to enroll in 10100, they should indicate in the comments of their registration override request one of the following: "3 years or more since language" or "less than two years of language."

Students may only sit for a placement exam once in any language.

Who should NOT take the placement test?

Students with no previous study of a language should not sit for a placement exam and should contact their advisor for permission to enroll in 10100. On their registration override request, students must indicate in the comments: "No previous knowledge of the language." NOTE: if instructors detect that students are not true beginners, and 101 is not their appropriate level, they will remove students from the course and place them in the appropriate level, if room is available.

Students with advanced credit (transfer, dual credit, AP)

Students who are enrolled in or have completed a course in a language at Purdue may not sit for a placement exam.

Results and Registration

After successful completion of the placement test, prerequisites will be loaded to your academic record, and you should be able to enroll in your placement course ca. 15 minutes following your exam.

Students who place into Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, or Russian Level I (10100) should contact their advisor for a "departmental permission override" request in order to be able to register. In the comments of their override request, they should state "Took placement test and placed into level 1."

3. The total amount of Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed to students under Section 314(a)(1) of the CRRSA Act as of the date of submission (i.e., as of the 30-day Report and this information must also be updated no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter (September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30)). $1,367..00 for Quarter 3, 2022.

4. The estimated total number of students at the institution eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and thus eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students under the same conditions of Section 314(a)(1) of the CRRSA Act. 49,639 - unduplicated count of eligible students at Fall 2021 Census.

5. The total number of students who have received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant to students under Section 314(a)(1) of the CRRSA Act. 2 for Quarter 3, 2022.

6. The method(s) used by the institution to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under Section 314(a)(1) of the CRRSA Act. An application has been maintained for each semester that requires the student to indicate which of the federally approved conditions for funding they meet and the dollar amount of impact they experienced. In accordance with the CRRSA Act, allowable expenses are related to the disruption of campus operations due to COVID-19 and include those incurred for housing, food, course materials, technology costs, health care, child care, and other expenses. The Financial Aid Office is also identifying potentially eligible students based on the student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as a result of their FAFSA. The university selected a tiered funding approach in order to provide more substantial emergency grant amounts to our neediest students with eligible expenses while preserving our ability to provide emergency grants to students at higher EFC levels who applied for eligible expenses, as well. Students had an alert added to their myPurdue account with information and a link to the CRRSAA Funding Certification Form.

7. Any instructions, directions, or guidance provided by the institution to students concerning the Emergency Financial Aid Grants. The first email was sent to eligible students on March 9, 2021, with the following instructions to apply:

"We are reaching out to you because we have determined that you may have educational expenses related to COVID-19. The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II was created to provide additional emergency grant funding for students that incurred COVID-related expenses on or after 12/27/2020.

Through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act 2021 (CRRSAA), students have an opportunity to recover related expenses for items such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and childcare. Since this funding will be provided to students as a grant, it is not required to be repaid.

To complete the reimbursement application, log into myPurdue, look under the Financial Aid tab and choose the Financial Aid Requirements channel to review and complete the CRRSAA Funding Certification form."

1. This tool may be used by prospective or current students and their advisors or counselors. The top part allows you to enter your transfer courses to see the equivalency at Purdue West Lafayette.
The bottom part allows you to look at possible transfer courses by the Purdue course.

2. You are encouraged to use a Purdue West Lafayette degree plan as a companion tool. They are found in the university catalog.

3. This tool is a real-time, exact replica of our internal credit evaluation system.

4. Students at the regional campuses, Purdue Northwest and Purdue Fort Wayne, cannot use this tool. Your credit is Purdue-system credit and automatically becomes part of the Purdue record, so there is nothing to transfer.
(Note: There is no need to send a transcript either if transferring from a regional campus.)

5. Details about transfer credit may be found Credit Evaluation - Office of the Registrar - Purdue University.

6. Please note course equivalencies are subject to review and may change at any time. Plan on reviewing your courses each semester.

7. If you are an applicant or current student and you don't find the course or institution in the list, you may request an evaluation from transfercredit@purdue.edu.

Important Note: Articulations older than 10 years have been removed from this resource. In some cases, they may be reinstated. Others will require a syllabus for review by the department. These courses will be updated as transcripts are presented for review.

Tool Tips

1. For courses in US Territories, use US in the Location field.

2. Some fields have an "ALL" option at the top. Use this if you wish a more comprehensive list.

3. Unlike typical drop-downs, this tool is filtering behind the scenes to narrow your choices for the next selection. If you make a change to an early field, you will have to re-enter the data in the subsequent fields.

4. At the end of each row is a Row button to clear all choices within the row.

5. After each selection, the C button allows you to copy down all selections made prior to and including that field.

The first six (core) courses, which are taken in the freshman and sophomore years, lay a strong foundation for computer science majors. Each student then selects a Track in which to complete 6 advanced courses. Each Track has 2-4 Required Courses and a list of potential electives. A student may complete more than one Track if desired.

The flexibility of the Computer Science curriculum comes from requiring only six foundational (core) courses followed by one or more Tracks, which allow students to deepen their understanding in a specific area of computer science. Some intersection between tracks allows specialization in multiple areas, for example, Systems Programming and Software Engineering.

All beginning computer science majors are required to take CS 19300, Tools. This is a 1 credit course that Computer Science students take in their first semester. Students are equally encouraged to take CS 29100, Sophomore Development Seminar, and CS 39100, Junior Resource Seminar.

All major required courses, all track requirements and track selectives, and their pre-requisites, regardless of department, must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Transfer credit (including credit from regional campuses) for 100 and 200 level core courses is possible only if those courses are taken before the student enters the Purdue West Lafayette Computer Science program.
Tracks:

To view course details for all tracks at the same time, click Computer Science Track Details Prior to Fall 2019 (PDF) or Computer Science Track Details as of Fall 2019 (PDF).
The Department of Computer Science does not accept transfer credit for 300 or 400 level CS coursework (with the exception of pre-approved Study Abroad coursework). No course can be counted both for required and elective credit. (This holds for all tracks).

(Algorithmic) Foundations Track: ( Formerly: Foundations of Computer Science) Gives students a broad education on foundational concepts, tools, and techniques underlying existing and future areas of computer science.
Mikhail Atallah

Systems Software Track: (Formerly: Systems Programming) Prepares students to build low-level operating system software, system tools, and programs that communicate over a network.

After you have met with your advisor to confirm your plan to complete your degree requirements for your final year, you can apply to graduate.

Log into your myPurdue and select the Academics tab. In the Destination Graduation box you will see Apply for Graduation.

Take notice of the terms and deadlines you may apply for graduation.

You will then need to read the information and select a term. Note this is not the term you wish to graduate. This is the most recent term in which you were enrolled in the degree seeking program in which you plan to earn a degree. Select a term and hit Submit.

A Curriculum Selection page will appear. Please carefully review the information on this page!

If anything is incorrect, do not continue. Contact your academic advisor right away to make updates to your curriculum.

Students who have multiple majors only attend one commencement ceremony. The first major you select during the application to graduate process determines which commencement ceremony you attend. You must then go back and submit a new application for any additional programs or certificates.

If you have more than one active degree program, you will be presented with multiple buttons to select. You can only select one at a time. Select your highest degree first. Example: You are pursuing a Bachelor's and a Certificate; select the Bachelor's.

COM 114, Fundamentals of Speech Communication, is a required course for many majors at Purdue, and it fulfills the oral communication University Core Curriculum requirement. The course comprises the study of communication theories as applied to speech. It involves practical communicative experiences ranging from interpersonal communication and small group processes to informative and persuasive speaking in standard speaker-audience situations.

COM 11400 Test Out

COM 114 credit can be awarded to students who successfully complete the Test Out process by passing a written exam and delivering an effective presentation.

Both exams must be passed to establish credit. A student must meet the following criteria to attempt credit by examination for COM 114:

Is officially enrolled at Purdue University.

Has not previously attempted the COM 114 test-out exam; each student may attempt only one test out of COM 114.

Is a newly admitted student or currently enrolled student who has not received a grade or directed grade in COM 114 other than a grade of W.

Is not currently enrolled in COM 114 during the semester that test out is being attempted.

Have a or an email (sent to the student) stating eligibility from his/her academic advisor to submit at the time of the Oral Exam (not applicable for incoming Purdue 101 students).

Can present a government-issued photo ID or his/her Purdue University Student ID at the time of the Written and Oral Exams.

Fall 2023 Test Out Information
Fall 2023 Session (September session)

Register here for the September 2023 COM 114 Test Out exam

Registration deadline: 11:59 p.m. September 1, 2023

Written test window: September 8 - 11, 2023

Oral exam: The evening of September 26 (6 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.)

Fall 2023 Session (October session)

Register here for the October 2023 COM 114 Test Out exam

Registration deadline: 11:59 p.m. October 3, 2023

Written test window: October 8 - 11, 2023

Oral exam: The evening of October 25 (6 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.)

A $35 testing fee will be applied to students' Purdue accounts when they sit to take the written exam. This fee will be applied through the Bursar's office at the end of the current semester and added to the next semester's tuition. All students qualifying for the PELL grant will have the exam fee waived. Please note that this exam fee is non-refundable. If you register yourself but do not take the written exam no testing fee is applied.

Students who pass the written exam will be asked to give an oral presentation during their assigned day and a specific time slot noted above (all students who pass the written test will receive the oral exam presentation prompt shortly after the written test window closes).

For a list of some topics covered on the written exam and sample questions, please consult the COM 114 Test Out Study Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What if I need testing accommodations? - When registering to take the COM 114 test, please indicate you need testing accommodations on the second page of the form, and the COM 114 Test Out team will reach out to you shortly. If you wish to contact testout@purdue.edu to discuss your accommodation needs proactively, that is also acceptable. Any documentation you can share is appreciated.

2. How should I prepare for the written exam? - The COM 114 Test Out exam is not based on any specific textbook but covers broad knowledge taught in most basic presentation-based college courses. Any collegiate public speaking textbook should be sufficient to prepare for the exam. Some students report that a high school speech course also provided substantial background information.

3. What type of picture identification is necessary? - Your Purdue ID is preferred; if that is not available for some reason, valid government-issued identification is acceptable (driver's license, passport, military ID, etc.). Please ensure that your name is clearly visible along with your picture when you hold the ID to the camera.

4. If I don't pass either the written or oral presentation, will it appear on my transcript or negatively affect my GPA? - If you do not pass either part of the COM 114 Test Out process, nothing appears on your Purdue transcript. Your GPA is not affected, but you are still responsible for the $35 testing fee (unless awarded a Pell grant).

5. I passed the written exam; what's the next step? - You will be contacted via your Purdue email and Brightspace announcement shortly after your test window closes with information regarding the oral presentation phase of the test-out process (this includes the speech topic, details for the presentation, time limits, visual aid requirements, etc.).

6. When taking the test, can I skip a question and return to it? - Yes, you can. While the questions will be presented one at a time, you may answer them in any order you prefer.

7. Why can I not see the correct answers to missed questions? - While the written exam utilizes a question pool of hundreds of communication-related questions, unfortunately, to keep the exam fair for all students, the questions (and their related answers) are unavailable after the exam is submitted.

8. What happens in the above "windows" of time for the written exam and oral presentation? For the written exam, you can take the online exam at any time and place you wish within the stated time. The Respondus software locks down your computer to prevent other software from being accessible and records the testing session using your computer's microphone and webcam. For the oral presentation, you will need to prepare a 4-6 minute presentation to be given during the assigned date and time. Trained judges will then listen and review your presentation to ensure all necessary competencies have been met. Your results should be available within 12-24 hours.

9. What is the passing score for the written exam? Students must score at least 37 out of 50 correct questions (74%) to pass the written exam. The written exam score is presented after the written exam.

10. What if I don't pass and get a 36 or 35 out of 50? Can I retake the written exam? No, you are only permitted to attempt the test-out process once. You must enroll in the COM 114 course (as your academic schedule permits) to earn course credit.

11. Can I participate in the Summer COM 114 Test-Out session if I am not an incoming Purdue student? Yes, any Purdue student can participate during the Summer COM 114 Test-Out session.

12. What criteria is the oral presentation judged? Nine areas are reviewed, including Topic, Introduction, Supporting Material, Organization, Oral Citations, Vocal Delivery, Physical Delivery, Conclusion, and Visual Aid.

Personally identifiable information includes, but is not limited to:

student name

name of student's parent or other family member

address of the student or the student's family

a personal identifier (PUID, SID, SSN)

biometric record

other indirect indicators (birth date, place of birth, mother's maiden name)

other information alone or in combination that would make the student's identity easily traceable

Public Posting of Grades

The public posting of grades, either by the student's name, institutional student identification number, or social security number is a violation of FERPA. Using an assigned random number that only the student and instructor know would be an appropriate way to post grades. Even then, the order of posting should not be alphabetic.

What is FERPA?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, is designed to protect the privacy of students' education records and personally identifiable information. This federal law spells out the rights of students and the responsibilities of educational institutions.

What are education records?

An education record is any record that is directly related to a student and maintained by the university. A student has the right of access to these records.

Education records include any records in whatever medium (handwritten, email, print, magnetic tape, film, diskette, etc.) that is in the possession of any school official. This includes transcripts or other records obtained from a school in which a student was previously enrolled.

What aren't education records?

sole possession records or private notes held by school officials that are not accessible or released to other personnel,

law enforcement or campus security records that are solely for law enforcement purposes and maintained solely by the law enforcement unit,

records relating solely to an individual's employment by the institution that are not available for any other purpose,

records relating to treatment provided by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist or other recognized professional or paraprofessional and disclosed only to individuals providing treatment,

records of an institution that contain only information about an individual obtained after that person is no longer a student, i.e., alumni records,

grades on peer-graded papers that have not been collected and recorded.

Letters of Recommendation

Statements made by a person making a recommendation that are made from that person's own observation or knowledge do not require a written release from the student who is the subject of the recommendation. However, if personally identifiable information obtained from a student's education record is included in a letter of recommendation (grades, GPA, etc.), the writer is required to obtain a signed release from the student which:

1. specifies the records that may be disclosed,

2. states the purpose of the disclosure, and

3. identifies the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure can be made.

Since the letter of recommendation would be part of the student's education record, the student has the right to read it - unless he/she has waived that right of access.

What happens if non-compliance occurs?

The student has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C.

This complaint may result in the loss of federal funding for financial aid and educational grants for Purdue University and the filing of civil litigation.

Action to terminate funding is generally taken only if compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means.

4+1 BS/MS Computer Science program (CS majors)

# data[].attributes.body
If you wish to pursue a five year BSMS, please review the BSMS page. You will need to decide whether to pursue this program by the semester prior to your final year of undergraduate study in order to plan accordingly.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Computer science majors can take advantage of the 4+1 BS/MS combined degree program. Graduates in the program experience a streamlined approach towards a masters degree in computer science while completing their bachelor degree credits.

Criteria

Computer science majors need to meet the following for admittance.

How this works

The requirements for both degrees are not altered, except that nine credits of approved graduate level courses can be used as free electives for the BS program and also for the MS program, provided the student earns both degrees within five calendar years, beginning with the student's first term as a degree-seeking student at Purdue, regardless of major, campus, or discontinuities in registration.

Graduate-level undergraduate excess credits can be used in combination with up to nine shared credits for the combined degree but the sum of the dual-counted and graduate-level undergraduate excess credits may not exceed 12 credits. All other graduate courses to be used for the MS must be taken after the award of the BS.

The student's primary degree objective will remain the BS until the BS is awarded. The MS will be the student's secondary degree objective from the time the student is accepted as an MS student by the Graduate School until the award of the BS. During this period commonly referred to as the combined year, the student must take at least one three-credit graduate course each semester.

Application Windows

Admission Requirements

Students who apply should have a GPA of at least 3.5 in CS coursework and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. A student should apply for the BS/MS program in their 5th or 6th undergraduate semester (approximately Junior year). The student's application to the BS/MS program will then be reviewed after the student's plan of study shows the completion of at least 100 of the 120 credits required for the BS.

Admission Process

1. Complete a term-by-term plan of study to include all remaining courses for both BS and MS
degrees. Your Undergraduate Advisor must review and approve the remaining BS degree requirements.

2. Send to csgrad@purdue.edu for MS Graduate Program Coordinator/ Advisor approval.

3. Complete and sign a Graduate School Form 27 (Combined-Degree Program Request)

4. Submit the electronic graduate application.

5. The application system requires you to list three recommenders in order to submit the application. For the BS/MS Degree Program, only a brief recommendation from your Undergraduate Advisor or CS faculty member is required. Responses are not needed from the other two listedrecommenders.

6. You are not required to submit GRE scores or a Diversity Essay.

7. The Statement of Purpose should be a brief overview of why you feel you will be successful in the program.

8. When you have completed the above, send an email to csgradinfo@purdue.edu with a statement indicating your application has been submitted. Attach your approved plan of study and Form 27.

Program Policies

After admission to the program, the student will have an advisor for each degree. During the combined year, it is expected that students follow the term-by-term plan of study submitted with the application. Changes can be made in the plan but must be approved by the student's undergraduate advisor and the chair of the Graduate Committee. Students who do not follow the plan may continue in the BS program only.

After the BS degree is conferred, the MS will become the student's primary degree objective. The MS portion of the term-by-term plan submitted with the application will then be used by the student to create the formal electronic MS plan of study required by the Graduate School. Follow the link below for instructions on how and when to file a plan of study. Students are encouraged to pay close attention to deadlines to avoid late fees.
Instructions for Filing a Plan of Study for the MS Degree
Students who withdraw from the BS/MS program may continue as BS students but will not be able to count any courses toward both degrees if they later apply for the MS and are admitted.

For questions about the BS/MS program, contact csgradinfo@purdue.edu.

Advanced credit exam information

Students can take advanced credit exams to receive Purdue Credit for select undergraduate courses. Exams cannotbe taken for elective credit, they can only be taken for credit in a course that is required by the student's plan of study.

Your advisor must give you a completed Mathematics Advanced Credit Exam Authorization Form (PDF) before you can register for an exam.

Credit exams are not open to students who have received a grade in the course (or an equivalent course) or are currently taking the course (after the first exam). Students with W in a course are permitted to take the credit exam.

Each exam can only be taken once.

Students may take multiple credit exams by registering for multiple sessions. If a student is registered for consecutive exams (i.e. MA 16500, MA 16600, MA 26100) they must take the exams in ascending order and receive a passing grade on the first exam to be eligible to take the second exam etc. If a student receives a non-passing grade on a prerequisite course they will not be eligible to take a higher level exam until they take and pass the prerequisite course.

For course specific pass thresholds and calculator information see the table below.

Exam Prerequisites

Students must have credit in MA 16100, MA 16500 or MA 16010 in order to take the MA 16020 credit exam.

Students must have credit in MA 16500 in order to take the MA 16600 credit exam.

Students must have credit in MA 16600 to take either the MA 26100 or MA 26500 exam.

Students must have credit in MA 26100 to take either the MA 26200 or MA 26600 exam.

The MA 26500 and MA 26600 exams are independent of each other.

Students with credit in Purdue calculus courses cannot take the MA 15300 credit exam; however, they may take the MA 15800 credit exam if their current degree program requires it.

Students taking multiple credit exams where they have to pass the first exam to be eligible to take the second exam will receive the grade of their first exam before their next scheduled exam.

Students schedule 30-minute appointments with their assigned advisors:

to register for Fall/Spring semesters, Summer terms

for in-depth advising questions

for academic/degree planning, graduate/professional school planning and career development

to discuss and receive support in addressing personal and academic challenges

for general questions and concerns

Students must be on time for their scheduled appointments. Late arrivals of more than 5 minutes may result in a cancellation of an appointment.
Make An Advising Appointment Registration Appointment Policy
Students will be contacted by their academic advisor each semester to schedule a registration appointment. Only one registration appointment may be scheduled at a time. Students who cannot attend their scheduled appointment are expected to cancel the appointment. If a student misses two scheduled registration appointments, they must wait until the open registration period to schedule a final registration appointment. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Registration PIN Policy
College of Science students must meet with their academic advisors each semester to discuss their degree progress, course choices, and experiential learning options. Registration PIN's are released once a student and their advisor meet and agree upon courses for the subsequent semester. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Drop-in Appointment Policy
Drop-in appointments are used to drop/add courses, resolve scheduling conflicts, complete paperwork, and address time-sensitive questions. Appointments are kept to 10 minutes and may not be used for registration or degree planning purposes.

Drop-in appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis, and therefore, students are not guaranteed to see their advisor during scheduled drop-in times if the number of students to be seen is greater than the time allotted. Students must see their assigned advisor unless there is an immediate need. Before visiting your advising office for a drop-in appointment, check drop-in times. Times are updated the Friday before the following week. Note: drop-in times ARE subject to change without notice.

CODO Drop-in-in Appointments

Students interested in a change of program (CODO) to the College of Science should consult the Non-College of Science Drop-in Schedule and review College of Science CODO requirements for their intended program before speaking with a Science advisor.

Please make every effort to be on time for your appointments. I advise many students, so appointment times are limited. Respect yourself and other students by adding your appointments to your calendar and/or planner.

The College of Science has a policy that if you are 5 minutes late to an appointment, it counts as no-show. For this reason, please plan to be a few minutes early.

Sometimes life happens and you might miss an appointment or be late and need to reschedule. Don't beat yourself up, but do try your best to keep the next appointment!

Multiple no-shows may cause you to miss the pre-registration deadline, which would mean no class schedule for the next semester. If life circumstances are making it difficult for you to keep appointments, please reach out to me by email and we can problem-solve together. I will support you in any way I can.
