Admitted Student Information Sessions for First-Year Students

You’re In!

So, what’s next?  Accepted students are encouraged to join us on campus for a session geared just for you - Admitted Student Fridays. Come and explore the opportunities that await you at BSU.

The afternoon is designed to give you a transparent view of what it is like to be a Bear. You will have the opportunity to hear from the dean of your academic area of interest; discover what happens after you submit your deposit; mingle with current students; learn about student involvement and leadership; tour the campus and much more.

Admitted Student Fridays are from 2:30 to 5:30 PM on the following days:

March 22, 2019
April 5, 2019
April 19, 2019
April 26, 2019
