Looking to reenroll, reinstate, or become a guest student at Ball State? You’ll need to complete our special undergraduate application as part of your admission process. 

What is a Special Applicant

The special undergraduate application should be completed by individuals seeking one of the following enrollment circumstances:

  • Reenrollment — you previously attended Ball State as a degree-seeking undergraduate student after high school or have become inactive due to non-attendance.
  • Reinstatement — you previously attended Ball State as a degree-seeking undergraduate student and were academically dismissed.
  • Guest Student — you are enrolled at another college or university and want to take Ball State undergraduate courses for credit to transfer back to your home institution.
