Welcome to the Baylor Family! We are thrilled your student has decided to call Baylor “home” and that we will get to walk alongside you, Baylor Parents, for this new season of life.
Parents, you have things to do, too, before your new Bear settles in on campus. Use this monthly checklist to help prepare you and your Bear for a seamless start come August 2021.
End of May-Early June: Say goodbye to high school and get ready to be a Baylor parent!
- Soak up every moment of your student’s high school graduation!
- Post your family photos with #BaylorParents.
- Join your parent portal HERE.
- Order your Baylor Family Shirt HERE. You’ll need it later!
- Remind your student to submit their room selection during their ASSIGNED TIME.
- Research and secure micro-fridge and/or bed lofts through preferred vendors HERE.
June-Early July: Attend Orientation
- Make sure your student succeeds! Find out how at our Orientation breakfast session just for you!
- We’re plugging it again! If you haven’t ordered your Baylor Family Shirt, do so HERE.
- Shop ‘till you drop for dorm supplies. Students may want to coordinate with roommates. Check out this list to see what your student needs to bring.
July-Early August: Attend your local Send-Off Party and celebrate being BAYLOR BOUND!
- This is the chance to meet your fellow BEARS, parents and students, right from your hometown before you get to Waco! You'll receive an email invite to your local Send-Off with all the details, but HERE is information for the meantime.
- Apply the formula we taught you at Orientation. Help your student master time management BEFORE THEY START CLASSES! *They don’t think they need it, but trust us, they do!
Mid-August: Move-In and Wear Your Baylor Family Shirt!
- Have your student tell you their Move-In time.
- Pack your Baylor Family Shirts to wear for Move-In.
- Find us! Purchase some starter Baylor parent gear before your head home, or you can do so HERE.
- Pray for an incredible freshman year! Your Bear has got this!

Received this email on 30 July:
Dear Carol,
Will you please accept my apology that you have not received your Baylor Family Shirts yet? We placed a replenishment order in early June with our t-shirt vendor and just...see more
Do I buy 3 tickets to After Dark to include my son or does he already have a student ticket
Is it too late to order a Baylor Family shirt?
I read after dark tickets are for three additional guest of the student.
Has anyone other than myself found that packing all the dorm gear is harder than the shopping? 😂
