Bring Your Family

Family members are encouraged to attend Orientation with you! While Orientation is mandatory for incoming students, this event is optional for family members. They will participate in some sessions with you as well as other sessions just for them. Our family programming is specifically designed to help family members become familiar with Ball State and its many resources to support your transition to college.
