You'll need to have your Student ID Card in order to move in, so be sure to follow the steps below in order to get your card in time!
Baylor is transitioning to a fully digital student ID card system. The Baylor Digital ID lives in the Wallet app on your iPhone, Apple Watch or Android device. If you are a student, who still must have a physical ID Card to access campus facilities and resources, please visit the ID Card office in the Speight Garage, Room 190. You must have a government issued ID and your Baylor ID Number to obtain a physical Baylor student ID Card. Students will nee their Baylor student ID to move into the Residence Hall.
Your Student ID Card gives you access to many services and activities on campus, and even discounts in the Waco community.
The first day of class will be Tuesday, January 21, following the University Holiday on January 20 in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
An academic advisor will email you about registering you for classes. Please frequently check your Baylor email account. For additional information about advising and class registration, visit Major Exploration & Success Advising.
