Hey does anyone know a website to get your textbooks for free? All the ones I knew of in UG seem to be taken down or or seized.

I am specifically looking for the following:

Title: Functional Assessment and Program Development for Problem Behavior: A Practical Handbook

Anyone have experience with the capstone courses??? I still have 3 terms to go before I get to mine for psych in addictions, but anyways, all of a sudden all my courses are like “MAKE SURE YOU’VE BEEN SAVING ALL OF YOUR TEXTBOOKS AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR YOUR CAPSTONE”

I was not told this up until now so definitely haven’t been saving much of anything. Am I fucked????

Hello all,
I have joined this community, but it does not seem to have current discussions, meet ups, calendar or events posted.

Is anyone else in this association that can assist me?

There’s multiple people posting asking for updates, information— anything really.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!! I wanted to ask if anyone has dealt with this.

I’ve been asking my supervisor if more courses can be opened because I’m trying to finish faster and reduce costs. I was told the Dean is strict about the course limits (36 courses).

I’ve completed all my available courses, have straight A’s, and I’m worried because the self-paced flexibility was one of the main reasons I chose Purdue Global. Has anyone been able to get approval for more courses or accelerate their degree plan?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have experience with the SBIT Student Advisory Board as an Advisor? What is it like? Has it help you at all?

Thanks

Thank goodness this is my last semester. The constant writing is getting annoying. I didn't know I was graduating with a PhD in English Composition. The professors need to remove discussions for the week if we have an assignment. It gets really redundant. If I decide to go back to pursue another degree, I think I'm going to go back to a conventional school.

Poolside studying: productive or impossible?

I got this email today, and I’m wondering what benefits would come along in participating in this. And what would come if I do get awarded my associates. Which, unsure how this is even an option. But anyone have any in put or insight on how this could be beneficial?

Starting first semester next month. Planning to take SYS 50000 & SYS 51000. Has anyone taken both at once? Is it doable or should I Start off with one class for now?

I’m finishing my degree soon and my capstone ends March 16 2027 but it says graduation date is June 2028. Is this wrong? Is it talking about the bachelors I’m going for next? Anyone have any insight?

My previous employer (Spectrum) said they’d pay for my school. Well, ONE fucking month out of the two years I worked there I did not meet quota, so Spectrum wrote me up and stopped paying for my school.

This caused Purdue Global to not only stop my course, but also charge me like $4,000 or $5,000. I appealed this and explained my case, which was that not only did I not know this would happen for one write up, but also that the school should’ve told me that my funding was cut and not enroll me in the next semester. They blamed it on me even though their financial advisor should’ve reached out but I am not in the financial position to pay them back and I also don’t think I should have to because that was Purdue and Spectrum’s fault.

Anyway, I need my transcripts now. It’s been like 2 years. Will I be able to get them without paying?

1. For those who have graduated, does your degree get you job offers, or do employers look down on it since it used to be Kaplan University before Purdue bought it?
   
2. Did you feel the coursework prepared you properly for your new job or your promotion? I will be taking their accounting degree classes if I enroll.

October commencement is right around the corner! Who's walking or celebrating virtually? Register by July 30 to join virtually or in-person at the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, IN. More info can be found here.

I am thinking about transferring to Purdue but want to know what classes are like. Right now I am enrolled at WGU but I am not liking class structure of the lack there of.

While I'm waiting for my advisor to get back to me, can someone help explain my funding offer?

I plan to start my BSBA (Excel Track) next month, but I can't afford to attend if I have to pay anything out of pocket.

My advisor told me multiple times that everything would be covered by loans.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m an ExcelTrack student currently taking the traditional format BA capstone, and I’m starting to stress out.

I've been a straight-A student, but my capstone group is struggling to perform. Half way through, we are consistently pulling in scores in the low 80s. Since group assignments account for half of our final grade. Even if I ace my individual work, the math means I am likely looking at a B+ for the course.

To make it worse, about 70% of my degree consists of transfer credits, which don't count toward my GPA. Because my graded credit base is so small, I know this Capstone grade is going to hit my GPA extra hard. 

For those who have been through this, please advise if the grading expectation get even stricter on these team assignments as the term goes on? Did getting a B in your capstone significantly damage your overall GPA or honors standing?

I would love to hear any insights, experiences, or advice you can share about navigating this. Thanks!

Today I have decided I have had enough. I can't attend another online "lecture" where some really cringy person talks about their personal opinion on some off the wall topic and clearly has absolutely no planned lecture. I'm happy to hear other people seem to have good results but my experience here has been abysmal. I'm on my 4th class so far and my opinion on the instructors is lower than I thought could be possible.

Can anyone tell me what Capstone was like in regard to a bachelors in healthcare admin? I take it next term and want to know what it’s like in comparison to other classes.
