Shortly after your official hire date, you will receive instructions on activating and accessing your Purdue career account and email address. Instructions will be provided on migrating any data from your IUPUI email that you would like to keep.

In Fall 2024, your existing IU account and CrimsonCard will still be usable after the transition so that you can log into classroom machines, use printers, and access building resources.

Though you will still maintain an IU account, your access to certain IU/IUPUI services may be reduced or eliminated due to licensing and costs after the transition. Purdue IT is evaluating a list of these services and software but are expected to include services that Purdue does not currently offer, like Google Drive. Instructions for moving to new, alternative services will be provided.

More information about your CrimsonCard can be found here: https://crimsoncard.iu.edu/purdue.html.

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. In some cases, a VPN connection through Cisco AnyConnect may be required to access Purdue resources. For devices that use a wired connection, we are planning for the Purdue network to be available via an ethernet connection by June. Instructions will be provided on how to connect to eduroam and VPN.

Faculty and staff will be provided “soft” virtual phones through Cisco WebEx. This service eliminates the need for physical phones and allows you to take and make phone calls straight from your computer. Unfortunately, your current IUPUI phone number belongs to IU and cannot continue to be used after the transition. Purdue IT will create and assign new Purdue phone numbers and distribute information and instructions directly to you about setting up the new softphone. For a short period of time, your current IUPUI phone number will temporarily be forward to your new Purdue phone number to help with the transition.

Purdue offers Microsoft’s OneDrive service for storage, which also ties into Teams and SharePoint.  For certain sharing and security scenarios, Box and Isilon storage may also be options.  Research data will have its own dedicated location for storage and be accessible to world-class compute resources (see the Research section for more information).  Purdue IT will provide instructions on how to migrate data to these new locations. 

For classroom technology, you will continue to use your IU account to log into general inventory classroom computers and labs. Once there, you can launch AppsAnywhere or Software Remote to launch needed Purdue software. Purdue IT will provide instructions for all faculty on classroom equipment. If additional help is needed, see the lectern for service desk contact information.

Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC) operates centrally maintained research computing resources. A division of Purdue IT, RCAC provides advanced computational resources, data storage systems, and expertise to support Purdue faculty and staff researchers in a broad range of high-performance computing (HPC), data, and visualization activities. Among those, Scholar computer cluster is suitable for classroom learning about high performance computing (HPC). If you have a class that you think will benefit from HPC, you can request access to the Scholar computer cluster for free. You can also purchase access to compute nodes in several other HPC clusters, including Negishi, Gilbreth, and Weber, depending on your research computing needs. RCAC staff provide training to facilitate the use of computing and storage resources. You can request consultation with RCAC staff any time, e.g. when submitting a grant proposal that require computing expertise or resources, running or migrating workflows that require the use of HPC or storage, needing assistance with data processing and visualization, and more.

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. 

• Email and Microsoft 365 content will be migrated by the individuals. Instructions will be provided.
• Kaltura content will be migrated in early May.
• Qualtrics Survey content can be migrated either by individuals or help from the vendor. Instructions will be provided.

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.

Existing CrimsonCards and IU identities will be kept for building access, IU general inventory classrooms and lab computers, and library resources.

Purdue IDs will be used for Purdue resources, like select printers and future building access. Instructions on how to update your mobile Purdue credential will be distributed.

The primary goal of the Purdue IT Service Desk is to serve 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.
