High student demand has prompted Purdue University Calumet to close fall semester admission for new undergraduate students today (8/28) at 4 p.m.

A higher than expected number of new student registrants has limited course availability. New, undergraduate students admitted to the university by 4 p.m., Friday the 28th may continue with their registration process subject to class availability. Purdue Calumet’s fall semester begins Monday (8/31).

University officials encourage students and prospective students to check course availability online.

“Many traditional, new student class sections are at or near capacity,” Purdue Calumet Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Ralph Rogers said. “While we are trying to accommodate as many qualified, new undergraduate students as possible, the demand we have experienced throughout this week of Open Registration is fast approaching the limits of available class seats.”

Future updates in Purdue Calumet’s admission process will be announced on the university’s web site.
