TEXAS A&M AGGIES!

WELCOME TO TEXAS A&M!

  • Welcome to Texas A&M University!

    Student Life's New Student and Family Programs is here to support your success as a new student, from admission through your first year at Texas A&M University - College Station. The New Student Conference (NSC) is a mandatory two-day orientation program required of all new undergraduate students. New students must attend a New Student Conference in order to register for classes.

    To accept your offer of admission from Texas A&M, you must register for an NSC.

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.
