Welcome to the School of Nursing
School of Nursing
Due to a recent Phishing scam sent to faculty and staff at Purdue Calumet, we are experiencing difficulty with our email system. We have been informed by students that some of them are not receiving the emails that our advisors are sending them. Therefore, until the University can correct the underlying problem, we ask that you email our advisors using your Purdue Calumet student email account. That will insure that you receive the advisors’ response.
In addition, if you’ve emailed someone on campus and have not yet received a response,
please contact our offices by telephone so we can assist you.
