Orientation for Fall 2021 Enrollment
This orientation information is for confirmed students planning to start classes in Fall 2021. Confirm your decision to attend Ball State so you receive the latest updates regarding registration.
We're in person!
We're excited to welcome you to campus this Summer for Orientation! At the end of April, students confirmed for Fall 2021 enrollment will receive an email invitation to register for one of our on-campus orientation sessions, ranging from June through July.
During on-campus orientation, you’ll hear from campus resources, meet with an academic advisor, register for classes, and build relationships with your fellow Cardinals.
Please note that CDC guidelines such as wearing masks, physical distancing, and sanitization will be followed in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. While we recommend that you come to campus for the full orientation experience, if you can't attend or don't feel comfortable attending in-person, you may opt-out by completing the exemption form available from your Admitted Student Portal (available when Orientation registration opens in late April). You'll still need to complete our virtual orientation sessions, though.
