Consent for Electronic Communications
The electronic communications policy at Baker College is part of a global “Consent to do Business Electronically” agreement and is presented to students prior to registering each semester at Baker College. Students provide their consent for electronic communications as part of the registration agreement. Once consent is given it is in effect for the duration of the registered enrollment period, or until a request for withdrawal of consent is received from the student.
Although, Baker College reserves the right to provide records in paper format at any time, a student’s consent to conduct business electronically with Baker College is also an agreement that Baker College is not required to provide those same communications in a paper format. Students wishing to retain a paper copy of any records provided electronically can do so by printing or saving a copy of the communication.
Hardware and Software Requirements:

It is the student’s responsibility to provide Baker College with accurate and complete e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, and phone contact information and to maintain and update promptly any changes in this information.
Students can update their address, and other contact information with Baker College on MyBaker
Withdrawing Consent for Student Billing Electronic Communications:
You may withdraw your consent to electronically conduct business with Baker College at any time. However, a withdrawal of this consent may result in the loss of access to the Student Portal, which includes an inability to view student billing account balances, enroll in payment plans, or make payments online. To withdraw consent, submit a request in writing to the Accounts Receivable Processing Center, 1020 S. Washington St., Owosso, MI 48867 or by e-mail to billing@baker.edu. Any withdrawal of your consent to conduct business electronically will become effective only after Baker College has had a reasonable period of time to process your request.
