Please indicate your anticipated arrival date:

Each spring, our School conducts an office selection process by allowing faculty to select different offices. New faculty members are placed into the queue as signed contracts are received. The web link to view the current office queue is:  https://intra.krannert.purdue.edu/admin/Facilities/facultyoffice/Pages/default.aspx

You will be informed when it is your turn to select an office as the date specified could change.

Please note that you will need a username and password to view the queue. Therefore,  your Request for Privileges must be processed before you can access the Office Queue link listed above.

Visiting Faculty: Office assignments are typically made around the end of May through Mid-June. Every effort will be made to locate you as close to colleagues as possible. You will be notified when the office assignment and telephone number have been assigned. 

The School of Management Business Office looks forward to assisting you with purchasing requisitions, payroll questions, travel procedures, and sponsored research budgets and processing.

General Questions
Please contact Jennifer Shirley (jshirley@purdue.edu), Director of Financial Affairs. Also, please use our webpage (https://intra.krannert.purdue.edu/admin/businessoffice/Pages/default.aspx) as a resource for your business related questions. 

Computing Hardware*:
As part of your offer package from the Economics or Management Department Head, you received an allocation to support your computing needs. This allocation can be further augmented by your STAR (Supplement for Teaching And Research) account. We would like to begin the order process for systems so that we can be prepared for your arrival. Our Krannert Computing Center (KCC) purchasing specialist Lisa Ratliff, (lratliff@purdue.edu) will assist you in specifying a system for your use subject to University strategic sourcing guidelines.  For Windows or Apple based desktop & laptop systems and printers, we have standardized on and obtained aggressive pricing from HP and Dell computers.

Visiting Faculty: A desktop computing system has been allocated for your use. The current desktops are at least Intel dual-core systems running Windows 7 64-bit edition. While our goal is to have a system ready for you upon arrival, our ability to meet that expectation is enhanced by early notification*. If you have specific questions, please send an email message to the Krannert Computing Center Help Desk (kcchelp@purdue.edu).

*All orders should be placed as soon as possible. Final delivery depends upon a variety of factors including the degree of customization required, manufacturer supply chain delays for both hardware and software, and the Help Desk task queue which is generally managed as a FIFO process. Please expect as much as a two-week period for the Help Desk to set-up a system per your specifications after it has arrived on campus and been inventoried into the Purdue property accounting system.

Software:
The school provides the Operating System, Microsoft Office and antivirus protection standard with all computer purchases. The School also benefits from site licenses for packages such as SAS. Additional specialized software must be ordered and purchased from your STAR account. Lisa can help you secure the necessary software for your systems and alert you to any charges.

Printing: All faculty, staff, and students with a Purdue career account have access to all Krannert printers. There are both monochrome and color printers centrally located throughout all 3 buildings. The availability for printing resources is available 24/7. The school also provides a copy center for copying large jobs and confidential material. Access is limited to regular business hours. The helpdesk staff will work with you to set up the necessary printers to meet your needs.
