Here to Help

Welcome to PNW’s Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP)! My name is Rachel, and I’ll be serving as your PNW advisor while you’re in high school. I’m thrilled to meet you and help you get the most out of your CEP (dual credit) experience!

As a CEP student, you’ll be earning both high school and college credit simultaneously. As a student enrolled in a PNW CEP course, you will work toward an actual letter grade which is recorded on a PNW transcript.

When you enroll in PNW’s Concurrent Enrollment Program, you become a member of the PNW student body, with the opportunity to access many university resources.

As a college student, you alone will be responsible for any additions or withdrawals on your schedule. Take these courses very seriously and do your best. I’m here to support you on every step of your PNW journey, so please do not hesitate to reach out with questions at any time.

Sincerely,

Rachel Meyers
Director of Students and School Partnerships | Concurrent Enrollment

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

Step One: Activate Your Student Account

Your myPNW account is your basic login for student services. This account allows you to access your PNW student email, register for classes and other university resources.

If you are a returning CEP student, you only need to make sure the DUO app is still on your phone and you can log into your account.

If you are new to CEP, follow the steps below to activate your account AND set up your Purdue Login.

To activate your account, you will need your Purdue University ID (PUID) and username, also referred to as your “Career Account,” located below. You will then use your career account and newly created password to log into computers on campus.

Activate Your Account

Be sure to finish your account set up once activation is complete!

Step Two: Set Up Your Purdue Login

After activating your student account, the next step is to set up your Purdue Login. This is a two-factor authentication service that protects access to your sensitive information including billing, registration and grades. You will be walked through how to set this up when you log in for the first time.

Customer Service Center

If you have difficulty following any of these steps, our Customer Service Center (CSC) is available to help you. Visit the CSC FAQ page, call (219) 989-2888, email CSC@PNW.EDU, or join the CSC Virtual Help Desk for further assistance.

When calling or visiting the CSC for assistance, be sure to have the following ready for verification:

PNW Concurrent Enrollment courses are graded using a PNW letter grade (A-F), similar to your high school grading scale. The final grade is submitted to PNW by your high school instructor.

If full payment is not received by the deadline, you will be dropped from the college credit portion of the class. This could affect your Academic Honors Diploma. Once dropped, a student cannot be re-registered (even if payment is made after the deadline). No exceptions.

After Your Course

Contact Tracey Radtke in the Registrar’s Office to request either electronic instructions for requesting via your myPNW account or a paper form. Transcripts are free of charge. Transcripts will not be sent without you ordering them first.

Either by calling us, checking online at www.transferIN.net or by calling the out-of-state/private college you’re interested in.

You may have earned multiple college credits in high school through PNW; however, all graduating seniors must still apply as a “first time college student.”
