Family Weekend

Be on the lookout for more information about the 2012 Family Weekend!

During each fall semester, Ball State University invites students, faculty, staff and their families to join in the festivities of Family Weekend.  The official date will be released once the 2012 football schedule has been announced.  This announcement is typically made in early April so please check back to see what official date is so you can book your hotel room in the Student Center Hotel
