Howdy! 

Registration for New Student Conferences for students admitted for the Summer or Fall 2012 semester will open at midnight on February 1. In the meantime, feel free to familiarize yourself with the steps necessary to confirm your offer of admission and register for your New Student Conference:

Step 1: Review the New Student Conference Registration Brochure before selecting your conference date.

New Student Conference Registration Brochure for TRANSFERS admitted for the Summer or Fall semester- click here

In choosing your conference dates, please consider the following:

  • Freshmen planning to attend a conference in August should be aware that some conference dates overlap with sessions of Fish Camp. If you choose to attend Fish Camp, you must select a date that does not conflict with your New Student Conference.
  • Sorority recruitment conflicts with the August conference. If you attend the August conference, you may not participate in sorority recruiment.
  • Ifyou are going to be in the Corps of Cadets, Freshman Orientation Week (FOW) conflicts with the August conference. You are strongly encouraged to attend an earlier conference. If you attend the August conference, you must attend conference programs even if you are participating in FOW.
  • Veterans or military students are welcome to attend any of the New Student Conferences; however, there are four Freshman NSCs designated with specific optional evening programs for veterans or military students. If you are unable to attend one of the three listed sessions, make sure to check in with Veteran Services at your NSC. Those dates are June 21-22, June 28-29, July 17-18 and August 21-22.

Step 2: Beginning February 1, register online at http://applicant.tamu.edu. You will need your NetID and Password.

Login to the Applicant Information System (AIS) to register for your conference.

Your confirmation page will provide you with the information you need to sign up for conference housing and purchase a New Student Conference Parking Permit.

If you are still unable to register, please contact the Office of Admissions and Records by email or by phone at 979-845-1060, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.

Required Immunization Information

In May 2011, the Texas State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1107, effective January 1, 2012, requiring all entering students under the age of 30 at public and private institutions of higher education to provide evidence of vaccination against bacterial meningitis or meet certain criteria for declining the vaccination. Newly admitted students who have not provided documentation of vaccination have an immunization deficiency hold placed on their account. The hold will be removed once the appropriate immunization documentation has been provided to Texas A&M. The immunization deficiency hold will prevent you from checking in to your New Student Conference and registeringfor classes, so it is imperative that you fulfill this requirement prior to your arrival at your New Student Conference.

If you arrive at your New Student Conference and have not yet fulfilled this requirement, you will not be able to check in and must take care of your immunization requirement immediately. Vaccinations will be available at the Beutel Health Center on campus at a cost of $110. Payment by check or credit card for the vaccine can be made when the vaccination is administered, or it can be added to your fee statement. Students are highly encouraged to take care of this requirement prior to the New Student Conference, as the cost of the vaccination may be lower through your current health care provider.

To determine if you have satisfied the evidence of vaccination requirement for bacterial meningitis, go to the Applicant Information System website, applicant.tamu.edu, and ensure that a check mark is present on the Bacterial Meningitis checklist item found under the ‘Additional credentials required prior to Enrollment/Registration’ section.

For information regarding where to send your documentation, visit http://admissions.tamu.edu/meningitis.aspx.
