Once you complete the Purdue 101 module during All Aboard Purdue and set up your Purdue email, you will hear from the Daniels School Advising Office about who your advisor is and how to set up your first meeting with them. They will also be listed on your myPurduePlan and in BoilerConnect once the semester begins.
When you meet with your advisor, you will submit your schedule requests for the semester. Advisors will work with you to navigate prerequisites (needed courses before higher-level classes) and incoming credit (see below). Your official schedule with days, times and professors will be posted after course requests are closed. Communication from the Daniels School will be sent to all undergraduate students before schedules post. Please monitor your Purdue email.
The advising office is located on the third floor of the Krannert (KRAN) Building, room 352. Explore a map of campus.
