Non-Degree Seeking Applicants
Applicants who do not intend to seek a Baylor degree may be admitted as special students. If a non-degree student decides to pursue a Baylor degree, the student must apply for admission and provide appropriate documents in order to be reviewed for possible admission as a degree-seeking student.
1. By Advanced Studies
Superior high school students may apply to attend either one or both summer sessions if they meet the following requirements:
- Completion of the junior year in high school with appropriate progress toward required courses.
- Rank within the top one-tenth of the high school class and score at least 1300 on the SAT or at least 30 on the ACT.
- Recommendation of high school principal and counselor.
Area high school students who meet the requirements for Advanced Studies may enroll for one or two courses during their final year of high school. Students who enroll in 9 hours and make a "B" in each course may be considered for Early Admission to the freshman class and a degree program without graduation from high school and with parental approval if the student is under 18.
2. By Pursuing a Degree at Another College or University
Students who are pursuing a degree at another school and are in good standing at that school according to the Registrar may attend Baylor as a transient student.
3. By Individual Approval
Applicants who do not wish to pursue a degree from Baylor University but wish to enroll in classes, may be offered admissions as a special student at the discretion of the admissions committee.
