New and Prospective Students

HOWDY and Welcome!

If you are a new Aggie starting at Texas A&M this upcoming semester, please visit the New Aggie website for important information and resources about your New Student Conference (NSC). The New Student & Family Programs team is here to support you from admission through your first year at Texas A&M.

Incoming first-year and transfer students should schedule their New Student Conference as soon as possible. During the second day of your NSC, you will meet with PBSI advising to learn about academic requirements, your program and department, and to register for your first semester classes.

Please do not schedule a separate advising appointment before attending your NSC, as academic advising is already included as part of the conference experience.
