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. You can submit a request or report an incident at service.purdue.edu or by phone at 765-494-4000.
For Fall 2024, Purdue IT will build out network technology to extend the Purdue network to the Indianapolis campus, including the Sigma Theta Tau (STT) building. For Wi-Fi access, we will leverage existing IUPUI infrastructure. Students, faculty, and staff will log into the “eduroam” network with their Purdue credentials. Connect to “eduroam” by following instructions here.
For devices that use a wired connection, we are planning for the Purdue network to be available via an ethernet connection by June. In some cases, a VPN connection through Cisco AnyConnect may be required to access Purdue resources. VPN information can be found here.
Existing IUPUI phone numbers belong to Indiana University and cannot continue to be used by Purdue in Indianapolis personnel after the transition in July.
If you have an existing IUPUI number, Purdue IT will contact you directly with your new phone number, which will be accessible as a “soft” virtual phone through Cisco Webex. To help with the transition, existing IUPUI phone numbers will temporarily be forwarded to the new Purdue phone numbers for a short period of time. Please use your new phone number after setup, including letting your contacts know and updating email signatures, signage, and webpages.
If you have an existing Purdue number, Purdue IT will contact you directly to verify your phone number. You will need to follow instructions for setting up your “soft” virtual phone through Cisco Webex.
If you are brand new to Purdue University, welcome! You can request a new phone number using this survey.
Instructions for setting up Webex can be found here:
Keeping Purdue’s data secure is of paramount importance to us, so we want to start this collaboration by helping you to understand Purdue’s policies and procedures around keeping your data secure. This will be especially important as you transition your data into new storage areas.
Please read through the following policies and procedures.
As noted in #6, Acceptable Service Use, OneDrive is not appropriate storage for data classified as restricted. If you have restricted data that needs to be migrated, that data will need to go into a Box REED folder. You may request a Box REED folder in the link below. You will need to “Purchase” a Box REED folder, but this is a $0 purchase. Box REED questions can be directed to rcac-help@purdue.edu.
https//www.rcac.purdue.edu/storage/reedfolder
Any questions can be asked by submitting a ticket to Purdue Systems Security – Information Assurance.
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.
