After five failed login attempts, your goBAYLOR account will lock. Once this happens, the "forgotten password" and security question options will not work. You must call Undergraduate Admissions at (254) 710-3435 or email us at admissions@baylor.edu.

You will be able to access all of these items through your goBAYLOR account after you have submitted the application, and it has been synced with your account. This can take between 24-48 hours.

Call us at (254)710-3435 or email us at admissions@baylor.edu, and we will update it for you.

The enrollment deposit is non-refundable for freshmen, and deposits are not transferable to future semesters.

Your goBAYLOR account will be updated as soon as we receive a document for your application file. Documents are processed within two weeks. Your admissions counselor is viewing the same information you see in your goBAYLOR account.

Your admissions decision will be posted to the main page of your goBAYLOR account once it has been made. Make sure that you are checking goBAYLOR at least once a week!

If your goBAYLOR account indicates that you are an international student, but you are in fact, a U.S. citizen, please email our office at admissions@baylor.edu. We will be able to update your application file with the correct information. Please note, however, that Permanent Residents are still considered international students for admission purposes.

If your starting semester is wrong, please send your correct term to admissions@baylor.edu. If you have applied to Baylor before but want to apply for a new term, please call Undergraduate Admissions at (254) 710-3435. We will reset your account to enable you to apply for a new term.

No. However, if you have a document that you would like to add to your application file (like a letter of recommendation) that cannot be uploaded through goBAYLOR, you can email it to admissions@baylor.edu. Your letter writer can also send the letter directly to us via email. Make sure that all of your documents include your first name, last name and either date of birth or application reference number.

To defer your admission, cancel your application file through goBAYLOR and choose the "deferring my admission/taking a gap year" option. For more information, click here.
