Enrollment Steps for Incoming Students
» Activate Your BGSU Account
So that you can receive all future information and complete your enrollment, you will need to be connected to BGSU.

From the My BGSU Web portal, you will select on campus housing, set up your new student orientation date so you can register for classes, take placement exams and complete your schedule of classes.
» Apply for Financial Aid
Incoming students for fall or summer terms may apply for federal and state financial aid anytime after January 1. New students for spring semester may complete the FAFSA form at any time. To be considered for need-based aid, you must be an admitted student and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

» Register for Classes
We are changing the way new students register for classes for fall semester 2010 and will post details as soon as program dates are available. Information will also be mailed to your home address regarding how to register for classes.

Incoming transfer students for spring semester 2010 (which begins January 11, 2010) should view the following file for important details on registration.

Incoming freshman students for spring semester 2010 (which begins January 11, 2010) will receive an invitation from the Office of the Dean of Students to attend new student orientation on January 8, 2010. This invitation includes information about scheduling and attending your upcoming on-campus orientation, as well as instructions for establishing your BGSU email and MyBGSU accounts, and completing any necessary placement tests prior to registration for classes.
» Choose Your Campus Housing
Students entering BGSU for spring semester 2010 (which begins January 11, 2010) may now complete the housing sign up process online.
https://reslife.bgsu.edu/forms/housing-signup.php
You may reserve your room, select a roommate and choose your meal plan. Beginning in November, students planning to enroll in the fall semester may make an initial housing payment of $200 to confirm their housing selection. The earlier you complete this process the more likely you are to receive one of your housing preferences. For detailed information on Residence Life options for students please visit the web site.

Questions regarding the transfer of credit from other institutions should be directed to the Transfer Evaluation Office in the Office of Registration and Records by email at transfer@bgsu.edu or by calling 419-372-7959.
If you are currently taking classes or plan to take more classes before enrolling at BGSU, have an updated official transcript sent to BGSU as soon as the courses are completed. This will ensure an accurate evaluation of your transfer credits.
