Other students from other universities are experiencing a canvas hack. Currently, on dead day, canvas is down for the hack/maintenance. What will happen to students who have finals tomorrow and cannot study??

Edit: canvas will be up and running as of 13:00 5/8/26. Friday finals have been moved to Thursday with all finals being online.

Hey everyone, I’m an incoming freshman at Baylor planning to be on the premed track majoring in neuroscience.

I want to set myself up well GPA-wise, so I’m trying to be smart about my first semester schedule. Right now I’m considering:
* General Chemistry I + lab
* Biology I + lab (not sure if I should take this at the same time as chem)
* A core class (like English/writing)
* Maybe an easier elective

I’ve heard mixed opinions about whether taking Gen Chem and Bio together first semester is a good idea or if it’s better to split them to protect GPA.

For people at Baylor:
* Did you take Chem + Bio together your first semester? Would you recommend it?
* Is it better to ease in and take one science first?
* Any professors or classes I should try to take or avoid?
* Anything you wish you did differently freshman year as a premed?

For context: I’m pretty motivated about premed and have some clinical exposure already, but I don’t want to overload myself and hurt my GPA early.

Thanks!

I'm an incoming MDiv student and have been turning over rocks to find a way to connect with other current and incoming Truett students. It seems there is no group or page online for connections, or if there is it's just extremely hidden. I'd like to be pro-active at making some friends, asking about professors, and learning more about what to expect with my first year of seminary. Any help would be appreciated.

I took Elementary Spanish this semester, and really want to continue learning without the stress of a class. Is there any community that teaches/discusses Spanish stuff to guide individual learning?

My daughter is an incoming freshman, preferring to live in apartment style room. Where's a good place to find others looking for roommates? ty!

Hello!
My friend is a incoming freshman at Baylor! Her and roommate have been going over dorms and Penland Hall happens to be the one that interests them! Please let me know the pros/cons about Penland Hall so I can let her know!

I’m a non-music major looking for people that would be interested in starting a lil band or music group. Music is something I am extremely passionate about and something I intend to pursue for the rest of undergrad and post-grad, along with attending medical school. Unfortunately, Waco’s music scene is a bit less alt in comparison to Austin. For reference, I love the bedroom pop/dream pop sound (The 1975, Quiet Light, Banes World, Anna of the North). Indie folk too (Them and I, Adolescent Dreams).

I currently make my own music and do my own producing, but would love to connect with other people who’d be down to collab. I play the keys and prod my own stuff. DM me if ur tryna make something 😛
