TEXAS A&M AGGIES!

WELCOME TO TEXAS A&M!

What happens at the NSC

New Student Conferences at Texas A&M - College Station are designed to help incoming students and their families transition smoothly into the university community. These conferences provide a comprehensive introduction to the mission and expectations of Texas A&M while also outlining the responsibilities of all students.
Students and families will experience different orientation programming at points during the schedule. Student sessions will focus on resources that will make the transition to Aggieland as effortless as possible. Family sessions will focus on how families and supporters can best assist their student through the transition to Texas A&M.
Attendees receive valuable information about support services, academic policies, and campus resources. NSCs also emphasize the importance of building relationships, understanding financial commitments, and promoting personal safety and security. Through the NSC, students and their families gain a foundational understanding of campus life, traditions, and the opportunities available for academic and co-curricular engagement.

NSC Format

This summer, we’re offering both 1-day and 2-day New Student Conferences to give students and families more flexibility in choosing the format that works best for them. The 2-day conference is our primary option and has the most availability; most students will attend a 2-day conference.

A limited number of 1-day conferences are also available. No matter which format you choose, both provide the same benefits: meals, program materials, parking, a t-shirt, family/guest registration, and full access to orientation programming, advising, and course registration.

You can review the list of 1-day and 2-day conference dates on our website to see which academic colleges participate in each format. For the most current availability, check your Applicant Information System (AIS) portal—your AIS account will display only the conference dates available for your academic college.
