What is my Purdue career account? Your career account will give you electronic access to your @purdue.edu email account and other electronic services. This account is created when you are admitted to Purdue and is yours to use for as long as you are affiliated with Purdue. You can store files in your career account and access them any time, anywhere on campus. Your career account alias comprises the part of your email address before the @purdue.edu.
To activate your career account you need your Purdue University Identification Number (PUID), which was provided in your online admission decision letter. (See the New Graduate Student Checklist’s item 1, on page 2 of this document, for instructions on accessing your online letter.) You will also need an initial account setup PIN. The initial account setup PIN was sent to you by email from the Graduate School’s Admissions office after you reviewed your online admission decision letter. If you have not yet reviewed your online admission decision letter from the Graduate School, please do so to receive your initial account setup PIN. Please access https://www.purdue.edu/apps/account/AccountSetup and use your PUID and PIN numbers to activate your account. If you have any questions regarding how to set up your career account, email or call ITaP at itap@purdue.edu or (765) 494-4000. Please be prepared to provide your career account login when you contact ITaP.
