Take your next giant leap at Purdue University – Accept your offer!

Take these simple steps to officially become a Boilermaker:

1. Activate Your Student Account

To accept an offer of admission, you must first activate your online student career account. To activate your account, you need your Purdue University ID (PUID) number and your career account setup password. This information is provided in your admissions offer letter.

After activating your account, you will gain access to your myPurdue online portal, where you can accept your offer of admission. You will be prompted to set up a Boilerkey (two-factor authentication).

2. Accept Your Offer!

If you have activated your career account, you may access your myPurdue online portal to accept your admission offer.

Details

A nonrefundable $400 deposit is required at the time you accept your offer. The deposit is applied toward first-semester fees. You can pay this nonrefundable deposit by e-check or with MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or Visa credit cards. Be sure to choose “deposit” not “payment” when submitting this $400 advance deposit.

The online payment system to accept your offer and pay your deposit is not compatible with the Google Chrome Internet browser. Use a different browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, to do this.

Some students will not be required to pay the $400 deposit but still must accept their offer of admission by the appropriate deadline. The online student system, myPurdue, recognizes students who are exempt from the fee and will allow them to accept their offer online without the payment.

Students who cannot access their online portal may accept their offer via paper mail by sending their nonrefundable $400 advance deposit and a note with the student’s full name and birth date to:

Purdue University
Bursar’s Office
610 Purdue Mall
West Lafayette, IN 47907-2040
