Your Purdue Application

Before Contacting the Office of Admissions Read These FAQs:

All the information necessary to complete my application was submitted some time ago. Why does my online status still say my application is incomplete?
Each application requires personal attention before some items appear as received or complete on the student’s application status. Given our volume of applications and associated material, there may be a significant delay between our receipt of an item (such as a transcript) and the item appearing as received on your application status. All material is date stamped the day it arrives in our office. So the date we receive it, rather than the date it is processed, is our official date for deadline purposes. We currently are processing material and applications that were completed about six weeks ago.

I submitted my application on November 14, 15, or 16 in order to meet an application/scholarship deadline. However, the application date on my online status summary reads November 17. What do I do?
If your online status lists an application submission date of November 17 or earlier, it will be treated as having been submitted by November 15.

I took the SAT and/or ACT multiple times and have had scores from multiple test dates sent to Purdue. Why does only one test date appear?
Your online summary can display only one test date even though the Admissions Committee has access to scores from all the test dates you have had sent to Purdue. Your best available scores will be used in our evaluation.

I am a high school senior and have taken a class for dual high school/college credit. A college transcript is listed among the items required to complete my application. What do I do?
When your application is processed, the college transcript requirement will be removed from your list of required items. Although the college transcript generally is not required for admission consideration, an official copy must be sent for the evaluation of transfer credit.

I qualified for an application fee waiver but it doesn’t appear on my summary. Why?
You could not have submitted an application unless you qualified for the fee waiver. The fee will appear as “waived” after your application has been processed.
