What to Expect?
- Your first destination will be the Davis Field House for check-in. Once inside, go to the table labeled with your section of the alphabet. You will receive a packet that includes your Admissions Certificate. It will tell you your post office box number and combination, email address, and network login and password. If you are a resident student, it will also list your residence hall room and telephone extension number. The securing of your Admissions Certificate constitutes official enrollment as a student. Once you receive your Admissions Certificate, proceed through the building to complete the check-in process.
- Working on campus? If so, you will stop at the Office of Student Services station to complete employment paperwork. Your check-in packet will include a Work Assignment form that lists the job(s) that you have been assigned. If you don’t have a form, you will be assigned a job in this line and be given information about meeting your work supervisor.
- You will receive the following materials at various check-in stations:
- Registration Guide—your guidebook of activities scheduled during registration and orientation week.
- Student Handbook—will be explained in greater detail at an orientation meeting later in the week.
- Calendar of Events—includes important deadlines and activities as well as coupons and discount offers from local businesses.
- Class Button—Please wear your class button every day through Friday, Sept. 4, so registration personnel–and everyone else–will know to welcome you as a new member of the student body.
- Last, you will have your picture taken for your official BJU ID card. Once you have completed this circuit, you are checked in and may exit the building. If you’re a residence hall student, the next item on your agenda is to move into your residence hall room.
- Your room assignment
Your residence hall room assignment is on your Admissions Certificate. As you head over to the residence halls, parents may see their students’ rooms while helping carry in luggage during check-in weekend (Friday-Sunday, Aug. 28-30). You may not leave anything in your room or claim a bunk until you have officially checked in at the Davis Field House. On August 29 from 1-5 p.m., current students will be available to help you move into your room. - Your roommates
All rooms have either a Prayer Captain (PC) or an Assistant Prayer Captain (APC). These students have demonstrated in previous semesters that they are serious about their walk with God and desire to help others in their Christian lives. Your PC or APC will help you become familiar with the daily routines at BJU and will take an interest in your personal and spiritual growth.
For many of you, leaving home to attend college is one of the biggest steps of your entire life. You’ll never be the same once you leave—and that’s as it should be. You don’t go to college to stay the same! You go to learn, to grow and to become more like Christ.
Although you may have some goals for your college experience, God has some specific goals in mind for you as well. Both your happiness and your holiness depend on your desire to seek God and His ways with your whole heart.
We’re here to help you become the leaders God wants you to be. Welcome! We look forward to having you in the BJU family.
