Faculty voluntarily separating from the University will retain your faculty email for approximately six (6) months after your last day of employment. These accounts are deleted after the six month time period(without prior notification)unless the individual re-affiliates with Baylor through employment or school enrollment.
Individuals involuntarily separated from the University will lose access immediately.
Email accounts for retirees currently remain active for an indefinite period.
Baylor currently provides former students an email account (BearID@alumni.baylor.edu) that allows them to continue to show their Baylor affiliation through their email address. If you meet the established level for provisioning of alumni accounts (see below), contact the helpdesk at 710-4357 or email helpdesk@baylor.edu to learn more on how to accessing this account.
