When does week 9 and 10 start and end?? Like the actual dates? I can't seem to find that exact information. I know that the last day of week 9 is the deadline to register new modules so I need to plan around that

Especially, when you’re limited to taking first and last course in two different teams!
Has anyone completed in two terms before?

I began with Purdue this past year. I had a difficult time with communicating with my advisor while getting enrolled. It was mostly frustrating and a lot of chasing around and her being dishonest about trying to reach me and leaving me voicemails my phone somehow just never got... I have enjoyed my classes and have faith in my instructors. I recently suggested a co-worker of mine consider Purdue. She had the same experience with advising while trying to get enrollment information, and said she might just go to a different school due to frustration. It is so unfortunate because, once you start attending, it really is a great school. How can the enrollment process be the worst part of the process when it is so important? It is the first impression of the institution and the enrollment staff are the face of the organization! Students can help with word of mouth referrals, but Purdue---you have to do your part, as well. Get it together.

Hey everyone.

I'm currently two terms into my ExcelTrack program for B.S IT, but the tuition fee of nearly 3K every 10 weeks is proving to be too much for me at the moment.

I'm considering switching to UMass global because of their much much cheaper 3.5K 6-month flat rate fee. I actually really like Purdue Global but my financial situation right now simply cannot allow me to continue for 4 or 5 more terms like this.

I have lots of prior college experience in the field and mainly wanted to fast track a Bachelor's degree from the US because those are pretty hot where I live (Africa) and can get you quite far professionally.

So my question is can I transfer some or all of the credits I've earned to UMass global if I essentially drop out of Purdue Global?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Due to administrative issues on the university's end, I was restricted to only 16 and 12 credits over two consecutive terms. This has directly delayed my graduation date.

I am seriously considering transferring to another university for my final term, but I want to exhaust all options here first. My advisor and their direct supervisor have not been able to resolve this.

Who else can I contact to escalate this issue immediately? Any advice or contact points would be greatly appreciated.🙏

Is anyone in excel track hoping to get a second refund check after the semester is over. I was told by financial aid that i should receive another check. Something to so with the fact that i exceeded the 6 credit requirement. Let me know if this is true has this happened to anyone?!

What are the courses and how many?

Been having problems with getting points taken off for my apa formatting being wrong... but it isn't?

This course has me scouring the APA 7 formatting book and I cannot find anything wrong with my formatting. I will get notes back from the instructor directly contradicting what's listed in the APA reference book. I've never had issues with APA like this. Ever.

I'll get points off for random things like using a url instead of a doi when referencing a literal webpage without a doi. I was docked a point for putting the year published after authors' names and told it goes between the webpage name and the title of the website. There's points removed and comments like this on every. single. assignment.

I feel like I'm going insane. It's like she's purposefully trying to find things "wrong" just so she doesn't have to give a 100%. Anyone else had an experience like this?

Hey everyone. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to help me out here. I’ll lay out my situation real quick. So a couple years ago I got an associates degree from my local community college, and I see that my degree (general business) has a connected degree/transfer option to purdue global (Business Administration). I’m considering pursuing this, however there’s a couple hurdles for me. The first is that I used up almost all of my FAFSA pell grant already, and the second is that I’m very poor and don’t want to take out any loans. I did graduate magna cum laude with a decent gpa at 3.67 and am a member of Phi Theta Kappa, although I’m not entirely sure what benefits that would provide me regarding scholarships and whatnot. I’m basically just wondering if theres any chance this could realistically happen and how I might go about it. I realize the answer is probably no as I imagine it’s quite hard to get a full-ride scholarship to any college. Anyway, thank you again so much for any advice you may have.

So after finishing 18 credits in an excel track master's term, how long does it take to get Dean approval to continue going for more credits? I've seen some things here on reddit that say that they've changed the rules or something and now these days you have to get Dean approval to be able to do up to 36 credits in a term. Is that true? If so, what is that process like? During my bachelor's you could just grind nonstop and pump out as much as you possibly could. Only thing stoppin ya was how long it took professors to grade your CAs

Just turned in my 18th for grading and I really feel like I could easily pump out another 18 modules before this term ends. If I can do that, then I would only have my capstone to do next term and I'd be home free 😼

I genuinely like Purdue Global and overall I’ve had a good experience so far, but my biggest pet peeve is when professors put assignment requirements in announcements instead of the actual competency assessment instructions; and then act rude because you didn’t do the assignment according to the announcement.
This is now the second time I’ve had to redo a whole assignment because there was an extra requirement buried in an announcement that wasn’t listed in the competency assessment section or rubric.
I always read the assessment instructions carefully before submitting, so it’s frustrating to get revisions back for something that technically wasn’t in the official instructions. Announcements should be reminders or clarifications, not hidden grading criteria.
Especially because I am in the accelerated competency-based format where everyone is moving fast, all required elements should be in ONE place. Having to redo hours of work because of instruction placement is exhausting.
Has anyone else dealt with this?

I dislike those standardized OA's that monitored by proctors

When I went to wgu I was able to adjust my fasfa amount and take a little more out than needed for a laptop and such does Purdue allow that as well? Wgu was many moons ago and I need a laptop and such again.
