Description:

In the Spring of 2012, the calumet.purdue.edu domain will be shut off as the final step in Purdue Calumet’s transition to the purduecal.edu domain. This means that calumet.purdue.edu will no longer exist and will be completely replaced by purduecal.edu.

How will this affect me?

• You will be unable to access any website that has “calumet.purdue.edu” as part of its URL*.
• Emails sent to your old @calumet.purdue.edu email address will no longer be forwarded to your @purduecal.edu email and you will therefore not receive anything that is originally sent to your calumet.purdue.edu address.

*A URL is the address you type into the address bar of your Internet browser, such as www.purduecal.edu or www.google.com.

What should I do?

• Make sure that any accounts you may have that use your Purdue Calumet email are updated to reflect purduecal.edu. This includes accounts such as on websites like facebook, Linkedin or Amazon, as well as any mailing lists you may be on.
• Make sure that any bookmarks/favorites you have are updated to direct to purduecal.edu and not calumet.purdue.edu.
• Make sure to update all contacts in your work, student and personal email accounts that may still be under calumet.purdue.edu.
• Inform your contacts that your email address has changed from calumet.purdue.edu to purduecal.edu. You can do this by simply adding a line to your email signature regarding this.

How can Information Services (IS) assist?

• IS will be assisting by providing a method to help you determine what is still being sent to your calumet.purdue.edu address so you can find what needs to still be updated.
• This webpage will be regularly updated with new information and changes.
• As the date for the domain change draws near, email reminders and portal announcements with information and changes will be sent out to the campus.
