Application Process

APPLY NOW

APPLICATION METHOD

Apply through the Baylor Online Application. You'll track your application status through your goBAYLOR account. This is where we will communicate what is needed to complete your application file and additional enrollment steps for accepted students. There is no application fee.

KEY DATES

Fall application deadline: June 1
Spring application deadline: November 15
Summer application deadline: May 1

KEY DOCUMENTS

Key documents must be postmarked by the application deadline. The key documents required vary based on the number of credit hours a student has already completed at the time they submit their application. 

If you will have fewer than 24 completed credit hours at the time of application, you must also meet freshman admission standards, which means we will need:

  • Official final high school transcript with a clearly marked graduation date. An official transcript includes the school's official seal or the signature of a school administrator and is either sent directly from the school or submitted in an envelope sealed by the school. Your high school counselor can also email a high school transcript and it will be considered official if submitted from a school email address as verification.
  • SAT or ACT scores – Please note: For the 2023 application cycle, students with fewer than 24 completed credit hours may elect to apply without test scores. Please reach out to your Admissions Counselor if you would like to waive the test score requirement.
  • Official transcripts from each college attended reporting all classes attempted for each semester enrolled.

If you will have earned more than 24 credit hours (after high school graduation), we will need:

  • Official transcripts from each college attended reporting all classes attempted for each semester enrolled

If you wish to apply for a new term, please reapply for admission by submitting a new application for admission.

Please note: Baylor accepts electronic transcripts through Docufide and e-Script Safe. Please have the company email documents to admissions@baylor.edu. An official transcript includes the school's official seal or the signature of a school administrator and is either sent directly from the school or submitted in an envelope sealed by the school. Copies, faxes, and emails from students are not accepted.

Transcripts and other application materials can be mailed to:

Undergraduate Admissions
One Bear Place #97056
Waco, TX 76798-7056

Additional steps may be required based on your individual circumstances. Check your goBAYLOR account for more details about these items.

FINANCIAL AID

To be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid, you must submit both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile by the priority deadline on February 1.
