All new students are supported by an academic advisor in selecting and registering for classes.
Your advising area is determined by your academic school or college and your anticipated major. Students who are exploring majors (not yet declared) are advised by the office of Major Exploration and Success Advising.
The academic advising process is separate from the in-person Orientation experience, and advising appointments will take place virtually. When registering for your advising appointment, be sure you select an available appointment that does not conflict with your scheduled Orientation and Baylor Line Camp session days.
You will need to complete the Foundations online modules prior to your academic advising appointment.
You will receive an email to your Baylor email account from your advising area with additional information about signing up for your appointment.

Timeline for Academic Advising
First-Year Students Beginning in Summer
Advising appointments for first-year students beginning at Baylor in the Summer will begin May 1. Deposited students will receive an email from an advisor with an invitation to schedule an appointment on April 24.
As you consider your summer schedule and course plans, be sure to select session dates for Orientation and Baylor Line Camp that do not conflict with the term of your summer courses. For example, if you plan to take Summer II courses, you will need to select session dates in June.
First-Year Students Beginning in Fall
Advising appointments for first-year students beginning at Baylor in the Fall will begin May 30 and continue into July. Registration for appointments will open on May 22.
Be sure that you select an available advising appointment time that does not overlap with your session dates for Orientation and Baylor Line Camp. Advising will take place virtually, and you will not have an opportunity during Orientation or Baylor Line Camp experiences for your appointment.
