The amount of time it takes to review a reactivation application varies based on the circumstances of each student. Depending on the items to be reviewed, it could take a day or it could take a matter of weeks. In order to facilitate a timely opportunity to register for the desired term, it is recommended that you submit the application as early as possible.
In reviewing Student Reactivation Submissions, the University may consider academic progress; pending or adjudicated violations of the Student Conduct Code or Honor Code; omission or falsification of required information on the submission; any arrests, convictions of a misdemeanor or felony, pending misdemeanor or felony charges against the student, or students who are required to register their name and home with address with any local or state law enforcement agency on the basis of a reportable conviction or adjudication; and any pending or adjudicated conduct issues at other institutions attended since the student last attended Baylor. The University, in maintaining the standards and ideals for which it stands, reserves the right to refuse any applicant for enrollment.
Once activated, a student will be assigned a registration time-ticket for the term that they are reactivated for. An e-mail notification will be sent to their baylor.edu email address once the time-ticket has been assigned.
