We calculate the surface critical exponents of the ordinary transition occurring in semi-infinite, quenched dilute Ising-like systems. This is done by applying the field theoretic approach directly in d=3 dimensions up to the two-loop approximation as well as in 4-ɛ dimensions. At d=4-ɛ we extend, up to the next-to-leading order, the previous first-order results of the ɛ expansion by Ohno and Okabe [Phys. Rev. B 46, 5917 (1992)]. In both cases numerical estimates for surface exponents are computed using Padé approximants extrapolating the perturbation theory expansions. The obtained results indicate that the critical behavior of semi-infinite systems with quenched bulk disorder is characterized by the new set of surface critical exponents.
