Orientation + Baylor Line Camp Combined
We highly recommend that students attend an in-person Orientation + Baylor Line Camp - all in one 5-day experience! You are invited to attend Orientation for the first day and a half, and then spend the rest of the week at Baylor Line Camp. On the second day, after you have completed your Orientation experience, students will check in to camp and participate in three additional days of relationship building and preparing for their Baylor journey. All experiences are open to new first-year and transfer students.
NOTE: Reservations are handled on a first-come first-served basis with a limited number of spaces available in each session. Please make sure you have confirmed your session dates prior to making flight or lodging reservations.
See the FAQ below for dates and additional information.
Orientation
Orientation is a two-day program designed to help you discover the incredible opportunities and experiences that await you as a Baylor Bear. You will meet other new Bears, learn more about your chosen major, meet with academic departments, get your student ID card, and take your first steps as part of the Baylor Line! All experiences are open to new first-year and transfer students. Parents or guests are encouraged to attend the Orientation program with you.
Baylor Line Camp
Baylor Line Camp is an extended orientation experience designed to prepare students for their transition to Baylor. At Baylor Line Camp you will build friendships with future classmates and experience the deep traditions of Baylor University, learning what it truly means to be a Baylor Bear. The Baylor Line Camp portion of a Combined Session is just for students and requires a registration fee of $225 that includes housing, meals, a trip to Independence, TX (birthplace of Baylor), and their Line Jersey. Most importantly, students will be placed in a small group with a leader where they will form friendships and a support system that they can carry into their first year at Baylor.

Orientation + Baylor Line Camp Registration & Dates
In order to complete your registration for Orientation and Baylor Line Camp, you will have needed to pay your $500 Enrollment Deposit. It can take up to 24 hours for your deposit to process. Make sure you have set up Baylor’s DUO two-factor authentication with your student phone. You will also need your Bear ID, a credit card to submit your Baylor Line Camp registration fee payment, the name you would like on the back of your Baylor Line Jersey (you can update this at a later time if you need to), and your Jersey size. Line Jerseys tend to run small, and many students prefer to select one size larger than their usual t-shirt size.
NOTE: Please make sure you have confirmed your session dates prior to making flight or lodging reservations.

Students are highly encouraged to attend an in-person Orientation + Baylor Line Camp Combined Session or Orientation-only Session. However, we recognize that special circumstances might make it especially difficult for some students to travel to Baylor's campus in the summer. There will be a Virtual Orientation option for students who are unable to attend an in-person Orientation. Virtual Orientation will launch mid-July and will feature video content that you can access at your convenience. Students can submit a request to complete their Orientation virtually.
