Mission: The mission of advising at Purdue University is to partner with students, faculty, staff, departments, and administration to empower students to develop and implement an individualized plan for academic success, personal and career development, while integrating learning and enrichment within the University and community, as well as assisting students in understanding the nature, purpose, and value of higher education.

Vision: Purdue University-WL aspires to be recognized for excellence in academic advising as compared to our peer and aspirant institutions.

Students will …

• … identify fields of study that are consistent with their interests, abilities, and life goals.

• … develop and implement a meaningful educational plan.

• … know how to locate university policies and procedures regarding registration, academic standing, and student conduct.

• … identify and utilize resources independently to evaluate their progress toward degree completion.

• … know where and how to access appropriate support services to accommodate their unique needs.
