Welcome to the Aggie Family! At your New Student Conference (NSC) you will learn how to take full advantage of all the academic programs, student life services and extracurricular activities Texas A&M University has to offer. As a new undergraduate student, you are required to register for and attend a New Student Conference in order to register for classes.
The following information is applicable to students attending January 2019 New Student Conferences. Updated registration and schedule information will be posted this fall for Summer 2019 conferences and beyond.
Follow these steps to prepare in advance of your NSC:

The State of Texas requires all students under the age of 22 to provide current proof of vaccination against bacterial meningitis or meet certain requirements for declining such a vaccination. In addition, all students must complete required testing before the New Student Conference. Read more and review a checklist in the Applicant Information System.
Register Family Members & Guests
Student registration for the New Student Conference includes one family member or guest. Register additional family members and guests via the the Application Information System at applicant.tamu.edu. Family and guest registration will be available online until five business days prior to the conference. For more information on family and guest registration, read our Family Registration FAQs.
Arrange Overnight Accommodations
Both days of the New Student Conference are mandatory, so you’ll need overnight accommodations for at least one night.
