Academic Records (back to top)

CFS Undergraduate Student Services oversees the maintenance of files of CFS students. Through SSINFO, you can obtain an Academic Progress Report that summarizes your academic progress toward graduation. You can also access "What If" Progress Reports to see how your current academic progress would apply toward another degree program. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of all academic records. An audit of academic progress may be requested by scheduling an appointment with your academic advisor or an academic advisor in CFS Undergraduate Student Services.

CFS Undergraduate Student Services complies with the University Regulations regarding rights and privacy of each student's educational records, as stated in Executive Memorandum B-44.

Degree Requirements (back to top)

In the College of Consumer and Family Sciences, all majors require 130 semester hours for a Bachelor of Science degree. Students must meet all requirements for their declared major and maintain on overall GPA of 2.0. For specific requirements for each degree, see the Plan of Study associated with that degree.

Registration and Course Selection (back to top)

Spring 2009 Registration Information

Registration is the process of selecting courses, reserving space in those courses, receiving a schedule, and paying fees. A student is not officially enrolled until fees are paid.

Registration begins with your academic advisor or major professor. If you do not know who your advisor is, or if you do not have an advisor, contact CFS Undergraduate Student Services in Stone Hall, Room 110. For course descriptions, please visit the Course Information site.

Your advisor will help you complete the Course Request Form and after it is processed, a Registration Confirmation Package (RCP) will be issued. The RCP includes the fee invoice and your class schedule. Be sure to pay fees by the due date in order to prevent cancellation of your registration.

SSINFO (back to top)

Through SSINFO (Student Services Information on the Web) students can access a variety of information ranging from academic progress reports and the status of your financial aid application to finding a place to live off campus.

Tips for Success
In monitoring the success of CFS students in courses that they perceive as difficult, we have found that students who made a good faith effort to complete these courses were much more likely to earn a passing grade. When approaching a class that might be difficult for you, we suggest you consider the following Tips for Successfully Completing Courses that May be Difficult for You.

Transfer Credit (back to top)

Before students take coursework at another university, they must obtain approval to transfer these credits by completing a Transfer Credit Evaluation Report (CTR Form 5) and submitting it to the Office of Admissions. The Credit Evaluation Office marks "Transfer Credit as It Will Appear on Your Purdue Record." The form is sent to the advising office of the student's school, and the student's advisor decides whether the coursework may be used to meet degree requirements. Students should have transcripts from other universities sent to the Office of Admissions as soon as possible after completing coursework.

For students who take coursework on study abroad programs not sponsored by Purdue, credit evaluation is handled by the Office of International Students & Scholars.
