Initial Course Participation Instructions

As of Spring 2011, Purdue University will report Initial Course Participation (ICP), a Financial Aid requirement mandated by the Department of Education, for all campuses.

• ICP records student presence in the classroom or an academic related participation such as Brightspace.
• ICP will be reported for students who have attended a class at any time during the first through third week of the term for 16-week courses and during the first week of class for first eight and second eight week courses.
• For courses that do not align with a traditional full term or eight-week session, instructors should report no later than the fourth class meeting.
• ICP will be reported for sections that will be on the transcript only. If faculty will be assigning a grade (A-F , S, U, N, P) at the end of the class, then they should report ICP.
• ICP will be open for faculty to report beginning the first day of the term.
