At Orientation...
STUDENTS
Build your fall class schedule with an adviser, learn the specifics about Bluffton's
academic program and meet current students and future classmates.
PARENTS & FAMILY
Meet Bluffton faculty members and support staff, interact with "new" and "experienced"
college parents and receive information about student success.
Fall welcome
Aug. 14-22, 2020
The fall welcome program is a week of events designed to make the start of your college experience a positive
one. Events for 2020 will be posted at a later date.
Kit Guides
A "kit" is a baby beaver. We thought letting our growing Bluffton Beavers (current students) guide you through orientation would be a great way to give you the best perspective of Bluffton: what it's like to be a student. Kit Guides will introduce you and your family to the Bluffton community during orientation.
Orientation & registration
Bluffton University's orientation program is made up of two separate events. Orientation and registration is a day-long event held during the spring and summer. Welcome week begins the Friday before classes begin in August.
