Baylor University To Host TSA Precheck® Enrollment Event

Baylor University will be hosting a TSA PreCheck® enrollment event in collaboration with IDEMIA, an authorized TSA PreCheck enrollment provider since 2013. Travelers will be able to enroll or renew their membership at the Mark and Paula Hurd Welcome Center on the Baylor campus from April 7-11, 2025. Daily appointments are available from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The TSA PreCheck Application Program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents. 

The enrollment process is quick, convenient and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand. At the end of the online application, applicants will see available appointment times. 

During the in-person appointment, applicants are required to provide identity and citizenship documents, fingerprints and a photo will be captured, and then pay for the application fee. IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck enrollment for $76.75 and if approved, travelers get a five-year membership with the program. 

Following the in-person enrollment appointment, most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) in about three to five days. The KTN number must be added to flight reservations to enjoy TSA PreCheck benefits. 

TSA PreCheck was created in October 2011 as a way to provide low-risk travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. It’s a great option for travelers looking to save time. Enrolled members have access to TSA PreCheck dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide, and 99% of members wait 10 minutes or less in a screening lane. TSA PreCheck passengers travel with ease and keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on and keep laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items in their bags.

“Baylor University is thrilled to offer this opportunity to our campus community,” said Jason Cook, Baylor’s vice president for marketing and communications and chief marketing officer. “Hosting a TSA PreCheck enrollment pop-up at the Mark and Paula Hurd Welcome Center will provide a valuable service that offers convenient and efficient travel for Baylor students, faculty and staff, as we head into the summer travel season. With no permanent enrollment centers easily accessible in our area, this opportunity underscores our work to make Baylor a hub for global connection while also adding tremendous value and service to our community.”

If you are unable to make the Baylor University enrollment event, but are still interested in enrolling in the TSA PreCheck Application Program, please complete the application online and schedule an appointment at one of IDEMIA’s 630+ enrollment centers nationwide.
