Bluffton University's orientation program is made up of two separate components.
Summer orientation & registration is a one-day program designed to give students and families the information needed for the start of fall semester classes. Students will meet with an academic advisor to register for classes, see their residence hall room and interact with current students. Parents and family members will collect information about student support and meet other college parents in a series of structured sessions. Summer Orientation & Registration sessions for 2012 are scheduled for Fridays, May 18, June 8, June 22 and Aug. 10.

The fall welcome program is designed to make the start of your college experience a positive one - inside and outside the classroom. New students will arrive on Friday, Aug. 24, 2012 (three days prior to the start of fall classes) and participate in many activities and events to get to know the campus before classes actually begin. You won’t want to miss what this important program has to offer.
