Getting ready for the new school year

By now you've probably decided where you'll be living when you arrive in Aggieland, if you're a freshman (a FISH) you may have also already attended a New Student Conference and purchased your share of Aggie shirts, hats and other stuff to announce you are a proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2014 (Whoop!)!! Still if you're going to live on campus, you need to make certain that you're up to date on your vaccinations, your shots (UGH!).
Texas law requires that on-campus students must provide documents showing that they have been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis or a signed affidavit declining the vaccination. This is serious.
Residence life won't assign you a room or let you check in unless you meet this requirement.
Lastly, if you are coming to TAMU from a foreign country you must also show proof that you have had a tuberculosis vaccination.
We're excited that you've chosen Texas A&M!

Here is our first Blog Post!

Students,

We are taking appointments and walk-ins during the summer until the fall semester. To set up an appointment call (979-845-5916) or visit our office (300 Hotard). You will be asked to select an advisor and a time that works for you. As always please have your UIN and ID handy. Starting in the fall ALL of our appointments will be handled by our online appointment sysytem, but for now just drop by or give us a call and we will be more than happy to help out!

Also keep in mind that course selection is getting scarce due to New Student Conferences, please be patient as open registration is soon to open allowing for possible schedule adjustments and course openings.

If you plan to drop by for a walk-in please be sure to call our office for avalability. Call 979-845-5916.

Thanks and Gig'em!

"The General"
