2. First-time students who are incoming freshmen or transfer or graduate students who have not previously attended Ball State University and will be enrolled at least half time or more for the coming fall semester, and have paid their enrollment deposit for the fall.
3. Re-enrolling students who were not enrolled the previous spring semester but are enrolled half time for the coming fall semester.
4. Students who are graduating from the university at the end of summer and were enrolled half time the previous spring. Note:  Because of their anticipated graduation, they must be enrolled second summer session in order to work both sessions.
