Since we require official transcripts to be sent directly to us from your educational institution, it isn’t necessary to upload them through the application portal. If you upload your transcript yourself, it will not be considered official. You have the following options to provide Purdue Fort Wayne with your official transcript:

• Mail: Office of Admissions, 2101 East Coliseum Boulevard, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805
• Digital credential service: Parchment
• Email: [email protected]
• In person: all transcripts must be in their original sealed envelope

Purdue Fort Wayne strongly encourages all students to take the SAT or ACT. While not a requirement for admission to our university, standardized test scores are an important part of determining eligibility and calculating an award for the Purdue Fort Wayne Scholarship. You have the following options to provide Purdue Fort Wayne with your test scores: 

• SAT: collegeboard.org
• ACT: act.org
• Mail: Office of Admissions, 2101 East Coliseum Boulevard, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805
• Email: [email protected]

If your test scores are listed on your official high school transcripts, we will accept scores from the transcript.

If you were previously enrolled at Purdue Fort Wayne and are considering returning to the Herd, you fall into one of two categories: reentry or readmission. Review the following information to determine your status and what your next steps are to reenroll.

Reentry
If you’ve attended Purdue Fort Wayne but have not registered for classes for more than one year, you must submit a new application. You will also need to provide the university with official transcripts from all colleges attended since your enrollment here. You will not have to pay an application fee. You are not guaranteed reentry or entry to your desired degree program.

Readmission 
If you have been academically dismissed from Purdue Fort Wayne—or any Purdue University campus—for the first time, you are required to wait for a complete semester (either fall or spring) before you can submit an application for readmission. In the case of two or more dismissals, the waiting period extends to two full semesters for readmission. Summer terms are not considered within this timeframe.

Reach out to your academic advisor to discuss your educational goals and address any questions about your academic standing before initiating the reapplication process. Please note that readmission to the university is not automatic, and acceptance into your current department or major is not guaranteed.
