OPEN REGISTRATION FOR TAMU SUMMER AND FALL CLASSES
REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER AND FALL CLASSES - The regular registration period
is now open, students will be able to register for session classes through the
second day of each summer term (SS1, 10-week and SS2) and through the fifth day
of the fall semester.
LAB SAFETY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - please remember that for any semester in which you want to register for a laboratory science course you must first complete the Lab Safety Acknowledgement. You can find this on your HOWDY Portal.
CLASSES FULL, UNABLE TO REGISTER - General Studies advisors are unable to force register students for any classes. Only the departments that create the course have force authority. However, at this point, most departments will not force students into classes. This is especially true for lab classes that are limited by the number of lab stations in the lab classroom where they are to take place.
HOLDS - Check your account for holds. Not all holds will prevent you from registering.
COURSE RESTRICTIONS - Make sure you qualify to be enrolled in a course or a specific course section. For example, any fall semester course section in the 200 range is limited to honors students. Other common restrictions limit a course or course section to a particular group or classifications (freshmen. sophomores, juniors and/or seniors) Click on the colored "Restrictions" label that is just under the course listing to make sure you can register for the course.
If you still have difficulty, TAP/'General Studies advisors are available
throughout the summer. Walk-in advising will be available from May 18 through
September 5. Advising will not be available during days when Blinn Advising
Days or New Student Conferences are taking place. Call ahead to be sure you
will be able to see an advisor.

Emergency Contact Information
As parents we are always concerned about the well-being of our children. We typically think of college campuses as safe havens from injury, assualt, or other problems. Nevertheless, we have to acknowledge that things do happen.
In addition, the new adult-level decisions that college students find challenging can sometimes result in less than rewarding and even embarrassing outcomes.
How students react and the variety of issues they face makes maintaining emergency contact information an important aspect of the communications network. Emergency contact information needs to be vigilantly maintained by your student.
If you haven't done so, please contact your student to make certain that emergency contact information is current. When you have a change of name, address, phone number, employer or e-mail address, contact your student and provide the information necessary to maintain current emergency contact information. Your student should also make certain that his/her local address and contact information is current and correct.
Emergency contact information may never be needed. But if it is needed, wouldn't you AND your student want it to be correct?
