Which campus is this course being expired from?

  1. PWL - Purdue West Lafayette
  2. PNC - Purdue North Central
  3. PUC - Purdue University Calumet
  4. PFW - Purdue Fort Wayne
  5. PIU - IUPUI

  11. TLF -  Lafayette
  12. TNA - New Albany
  13. TRI -  Richmond
  14. TSB - South Bend
  15. TVN - Vincennes

Initiator will check that the course:

  1. Is or isn't required on a Plan of Study?
  2. Is or isn't a prerequisite?
  3. Is or isn't an equivalent for another course? 

Check if it is an Equivalent Course
There are only three instances that would allow equivalence:

  1. Renumbering of a course
  2. Change in course subject
  3. Cross-listed courses

Equivalents are term dependent. Enter the equivalent subject, course number, start term and end term. Ex: AGRY 25500 and NRES 25500 are cross listed courses and they are equivalent. These courses are the same exact course; however they have a different subject abbreviation for student registration. A student cannot obtain credit in both instances of these courses towards GPA calculation.
