Accepted Students

We welcome you and know that this is an exciting time for you and your family.  You have been invited to study, grow, and learn what it means to be a biblically minded, well-educated, professionally competent man or woman of character.  We look forward to your enrollment and want to assist you in as you get ready to begin your PBU journey.

It is important to stay informed as you begin to prepare for your first days at PBU.  You will begin receiving information from us on a regular basis, so please check your mailbox and email inbox regularly.  In addition, each document you need, every important date and deadline, and anything else you should be aware of can be found within these pages.

Orientation Events

PBU Orientation Events are designed to answer the frequently asked questions of new students and their families.  Attending an orientation event will give you further understanding about campus life, academics, and University policies and procedures. 

If you plan to begin PBU in the fall semester, you will attend Weekend of Welcome in August.

If you are planning to start PBU in the spring, you will attend Student Welcome and Orientation in January. 

If you and your family need more information or want to get a head start at PBU, you should plan to attend one of the SOAR days offered during spring and summer months.

We look forward to getting to know you during one of our upcoming orientation events.

Required Forms and Documents

All new students should complete and submit the following:

Course Registration

In future semesters, you will be able to use Self-Service to register for your classes, but the Registrar's Office takes care of registering first semester students. You will discuss and finalize your class schedule with your faculty advisor at SOAR, Weekend of Welcome, or Student Welcome and Orientation.
