Human Resources Mission, Vision, and Strategic Goals For You

Welcome to Purdue!

After accepting an offer letter of employment, you will receive an email linked to the data collection wizard within the Onboarding process. Information collected helps complete Form I-9 section 1, banking and tax forms, among other things.

Once the information is completed, a system-generated email is sent providing your PUID and User ID. This information is required to complete the account activation process outlined below.

Please click each section below to learn more.

Every employee has a password. It is the first line of defense from unauthorized access to your Purdue Career Account. You may be required to change this password at least twice a year.

Please contact your Campus Support to create this password:

  • Purdue West Lafayette – 765-494-4000
  • Purdue Northwest – 219-989-2888  
  • Purdue Fort Wayne – 260-481-6030
They may need your username and PUID (provided in a previous email) in order to assist you. This password is used to access some systems, such as email. Upon logging in to a Purdue-protected application for the first time, you will be asked to enroll in Duo, Purdue's two-factor authentication system.
Access SuccessFactors with your Purdue Career Account (User ID) and password. SuccessFactors is Purdue’s human capital management system, used for employee self-service, timekeeping and time off, recruitment and more. Upon the creation of your Purdue Career account, you will gain access to the system once all the information has been processed and the system has been updated. This may take 48-72 hours.

Bring identification documentation to an I-9 verifier to complete section 2 within three business days of your employment start date. Schedule your appointment with a local Employment Center.

If you are required to follow the Remote Form I-9 click here to learn more about the process.

As of August 1, 2022, updates were made to the Background Checks Policy that require sex and violent offender registry checks for student and graduate student positions, to be performed by the hiring department. Under the current process, students receive an email invitation to complete the necessary information in HireRight. Please complete this information. If you have not received an email, contact careers@purdue.edu. 

Your Purdue ID card, which is sometimes referred to as your PUID card or photo ID, proclaims you as a member of the Purdue community. To obtain a PUID card visit the Purdue ID Card Office site which refers to " Getting my Purdue ID Card".

Purdue Northwest New Hires:  You will be given instructions on how to obtain your Purdue ID card on your first day of employment when visiting Human Resources. 

 

You may have received a link to the New Employee Onboarding First Steps from your supervisor or onboarding coordinator which explained the steps listed above, providing examples of each communication received.

Again, Congratulations!
