Step 2: Interview

The next step in the admissions process is to complete an interview. The interview with your Admissions Advisor is an important opportunity to ask questions, define your educational and professional goals, and explore whether a Purdue Global degree can help. To prepare for your interview:

Identify your goals/objectives and how a degree may help you achieve them.
Note any questions or concerns.
Determine when you would like to start the program.
Be prepared to provide an unofficial transcript. This is required for many of our programs and you may need this for the interview.
Some graduate students will need to provide a resume prior to the interview.
Nursing students may need to provide a copy of their RN license prior to the interview, depending on their program of interest.

Step 3: Enrollment

You're almost there. There are only a few steps remaining to complete the admissions process. Are you excited? If you have any unanswered questions, please speak with your Admissions Advisor. We are here to help make sure that you have everything you need to make a well-informed decision.

When you are ready, review and sign your Enrollment Agreement.
If you are applying for financial aid, sign your FAFSA with your PIN (make sure you use the correct school code of 004586).
Sign your Master Promissory Note, which is provided by the Financial Aid Office.
Set up a Registration Call with your Admissions Advisor.

Step 4: Getting Started

Throughout your time with us, your advisors, faculty, and staff are committed to helping you reach your educational goals, and we look forward to supporting you. Welcome to Purdue Global.
