Purdue University in Indianapolis

• Access after July 1, 2024: YES  
• You will retain access to your IU Exchange email account. However, faculty and staff will have an A1 license, rather than an A5 license. Students will move from an A5 license to an A1 license after two semesters of non-enrollment in IU classes (fall, spring, and summer each count as one semester). For more about the differences, see About A5 and A1 licenses in Microsoft 365 at IU. 
• You may want to migrate data to your Purdue account to consolidate your data.  You may also be near a quota, since licensing terms will change for your IU accounts.  In general, the new IU quota will change to 50GB for Exchange email.  Purdue will send direct communication to anyone over or near these new quota limits. 

• To migrate current IUPUI message and calendars to your Purdue email, you can use two methods: 

• You can choose to manage your IU and Purdue email accounts separately or redirect your IU email to your Purdue email account using automatic forwarding. 

In Fall 2024, your existing IU account and CrimsonCard will still be usable after the transition so that you can log into classroom machines, use printers, and access building resources.

Though you will still maintain an IU account, your access to certain IU/IUPUI services may be reduced or eliminated due to licensing and costs after the transition.  Please see the Data Migration Page for more details. 

More information about your CrimsonCard can be found here: https://crimsoncard.iu.edu/purdue.html.

For Fall 2024, Purdue IT will build out network technology to extend the Purdue network to the Indianapolis campus, including the Sigma Theta Tau (STT) building. For Wi-Fi access, we will leverage existing IUPUI infrastructure. Students, faculty, and staff will log into the “eduroam” network with their Purdue credentials. Connect to “eduroam” by following instructions here.  

For devices that use a wired connection, we are planning for the Purdue network to be available via an ethernet connection by June. In some cases, a VPN connection through Cisco AnyConnect may be required to access Purdue resources. VPN information can be found here. 

Existing IUPUI phone numbers belong to Indiana University and cannot continue to be used by Purdue in Indianapolis personnel after the transition in July.    

If you have an existing IUPUI number, Purdue IT will contact you directly with your new phone number, which will be accessible as a “soft” virtual phone through Cisco Webex.  To help with the transition, existing IUPUI phone numbers will temporarily be forwarded to the new Purdue phone numbers for a short period of time.  Please use your new phone number after setup, including letting your contacts know and updating email signatures, signage, and webpages.   

If you have an existing Purdue number, Purdue IT will contact you directly to verify your phone number.  You will need to follow instructions for setting up your “soft” virtual phone through Cisco Webex.  

If you are brand new to Purdue University, welcome!  You can request a new phone number using this survey. 

Instructions for setting up Webex can be found here: 

• Webex Guide 
• Webex Voicemail Guide 
• Webex E-911 Address Update Guide 

• Access after July 1, 2024: YES, but licensing will change 
• You will retain access to your Microsoft 365 at IU account. However, faculty and staff will have an A1 license, with a significantly smaller quota, rather than an A5 license. Students will move from an A5 license to an A1 license after two semesters of non-enrollment in IU classes (fall, spring, and summer each count as one semester). For more about the differences, see About A5 and A1 licenses in Microsoft 365 at IU. 
• You may want to migrate data to your Purdue account to consolidate your data.  You may also be near a quota since the licensing terms will change for your IU account.  In general, the new IU quota will change to 100GB for OneDrive.  Purdue will send direct communication to anyone over or near these new quota limits. 

• If you are over the new quota or want to consolidate your documents, you can copy files into your Purdue OneDrive account, which has a 5 TB limit.  For assistance with migrating your OneDrive data, you can send an email to collaboration-tickets@purdue.edu.  
• SharePoint and Teams sites will need to be created in the Purdue environment and data manually copied over.  You can visit the Collaboration@Purdue site (be sure to log in with your @purdue.edu credentials) for help getting started.  For questions, you can send an email to collaboration-tickets@purdue.edu. 

For classroom technology, you will continue to use your IU account to log into general inventory classroom computers and labs. Once there, you can launch AppsAnywhere or Software Remote to launch needed Purdue software. Purdue IT will provide instructions for all faculty on classroom equipment. If additional help is needed, see the lectern for service desk contact information.

Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC) operates centrally maintained research computing resources. A division of Purdue IT, RCAC provides advanced computational resources, data storage systems, and expertise to support Purdue faculty and staff researchers in a broad range of high-performance computing (HPC), data, and visualization activities. Among those, Scholar computer cluster is suitable for classroom learning about high performance computing (HPC). If you have a class that you think will benefit from HPC, you can request access to the Scholar computer cluster for free. You can also purchase access to compute nodes in several other HPC clusters, including Negishi, Gilbreth, and Weber, depending on your research computing needs. RCAC staff provide training to facilitate the use of computing and storage resources. You can request consultation with RCAC staff any time, e.g. when submitting a grant proposal that require computing expertise or resources, running or migrating workflows that require the use of HPC or storage, needing assistance with data processing and visualization, and more.

Keeping Purdue’s data secure is of paramount importance to us, so we want to start this collaboration by helping you to understand Purdue’s policies and procedures around keeping your data secure. This will be especially important as you transition your data into new storage areas. 

Please read through the following policies and procedures. 

1. Data Classification and Handling Procedures
2. Keys to Securing Purdue’s Data
3. Data Protection Roles and Responsibilities
4. Electronically Stored Information
5. Electronically Transmitted Information
6. Acceptable Service Use

As noted in #6, Acceptable Service Use, OneDrive is not appropriate storage for data classified as restricted. If you have restricted data that needs to be migrated, that data will need to go into a Box REED folder. You may request a Box REED folder in the link below. You will need to “Purchase” a Box REED folder, but this is a $0 purchase. Box REED questions can be directed to rcac-help@purdue.edu.  

https//www.rcac.purdue.edu/storage/reedfolder 

Any questions can be asked by submitting a ticket to Purdue Systems Security – Information Assurance. 

• Email and Microsoft 365 content will be migrated by the individuals. Instructions will be provided.
• Kaltura content will be migrated in mid June.
• Qualtrics Survey content can be migrated either by individuals or help from the vendor. Instructions will be provided.

No content will be migrated. We are investigating what information we can gather about items in the IU tenant.

No, new West Lafayette phone numbers will be assigned. These will be Webex Cloud softphone client numbers. Further communication will be sent, including a direct email with your newly assigned phone number and further instructions.

In the short term, IU has agreed to forward your existing IUPUI number to your new Purdue number for a short period of time to help with the transition.

A Purdue Branded SSID is currently available utilizing STT’s internet provider. Work is currently ongoing to add Eduroam. Wired networking is also in progress in STT.  

For the remainder of campus, we are actively configuring network equipment. We fully expect to have wireless and wired networking available soon.

Existing CrimsonCards and IU identities will be kept for building access, IU general inventory classrooms and lab computers, and library resources.

Purdue IDs will be used for Purdue resources, like select printers and future building access. Instructions on how to update your mobile Purdue credential will be distributed.

The primary goal of the Purdue IT Service Desk is to serve as the first point of contact for students, faculty, staff and others seeking assistance with IT Services. You can submit a request or report an incident at service.purdue.edu or by phone at 765-494-4000.
