As Purdue's first comprehensive urban campus, Purdue University in Indianapolis is part of Purdue University West Lafayette, with multiple locations throughout the city of Indianapolis. It bookends America’s Hard Tech Corridor, which extends from West Lafayette through new investments in Lebanon’s LEAP Innovation District to downtown Indianapolis. It positions our students, faculty and staff in close proximity to top businesses and leading industries, providing new and unique executive education and internship opportunities.
The Purdue IT Service Desk serves as the first point of contact for students, faculty, staff and others seeking assistance with IT Services. Available 24/7, you can submit a request or report an incident at service.purdue.edu or by phone at 765-494-4000.
Shortly after your official hire date, you will receive instructions on activating and accessing your Purdue career account and email address. You will also continue to have access to your existing IU accounts in Fall 2024, including existing IUPUI email and services. However, you may want to migrate data to your Purdue services to consolidate your data. You may also be near a quota, as licensing terms will change for your IU accounts. In general, after July 1, your new IU quotas will be 50GB for email and 100GB for OneDrive. We'll send direct communication to anyone over or near these new quota limits with instructions on how to migrate your data to Purdue systems, which will have a higher amount of available storage.
To migrate current IUPUI message and calendars to your Purdue email, you can use two methods.
All Purdue University in Indianapolis faculty and staff will be provided “soft” virtual phones through Cisco WebEx. This service eliminates the need for physical phones and allows users to take and make phone calls straight from their computer.
Existing IUPUI phone numbers belong to Indiana University and cannot continue to be used by Purdue Indianapolis personnel after the transition. Purdue IT will create and assign new Purdue phone numbers and distribute information and instructions about setting up the new softphone directly to impacted users. To help with the transition, existing IUPUI phone numbers will temporarily be forwarded to the new Purdue phone numbers.
Purdue offers Qualtrics CoreXM for web-based survey creation, collection, and analysis for open surveys, targeted (panel) surveys, and open polling. It is available to Purdue faculty, staff, and students for research or classroom use. Once your Qualtrics account has been created, existing Qualtrics surveys from your non-Purdue account can be migrated into your Purdue Qualtrics account either manually or by submitting a request to have them migrated by the vendor.
Purdue IT will communicate via email to known owners of secure data stored in IUPUI secure Teams channels and Google Secure Drive with suggested options. For your reference, here is how Purdue defines sensitive and restricted data, including examples: https://www.purdue.edu/securepurdue/data-handling/index.php
Purdue offers several options for approved services to store secure data which you can learn more about here: https://www.purdue.edu/securepurdue/data-handling/acceptable_service_use.php
No content will be migrated. We are investigating what information we can gather about items in the IU tenant.
No, new West Lafayette phone numbers will be assigned. These will be Webex Cloud softphone client numbers. Further communication will be sent, including a direct email with your newly assigned phone number and further instructions.
In the short term, IU has agreed to forward your existing IUPUI number to your new Purdue number for a short period of time to help with the transition.
A Purdue Branded SSID is currently available utilizing STT’s internet provider. Work is currently ongoing to add Eduroam. Wired networking is also in progress in STT.
For the remainder of campus, we are actively configuring network equipment. We fully expect to have wireless and wired networking available soon.
