  2. During the online registration, you will also register family members who will be attending.
  3. Check into local lodging options if you and your family need overnight housing. Orientation Fees
    A student program fee of $40 will be added to your first-semester Ball State bursar statement. Payment is not due at this time. A $20 program fee for each attending family member (age 12 and older) must be paid before or at Orientation. Upon arrival, each registered student and paid family member will receive a $5 meal card to use at campus dining facilities.
