Incoming undergraduate students and their families should watch their
mailboxes for a number of materials from Texas A&M University. Among these
are several publications designed to make the process of attending a New
Student Conference and transitioning into the university community easier
for both students and parents. All mailings go to the permanent address
given by the student in the application for admission; if your address has
changed, please update it as soon as possible with Undergraduate Admissions.
Now That You're Admitted Brochure
Admitted undergraduates receive a brochure entitled Now that You're Admitted
from Undergraduate Admissions. This document provides information about the
essential steps you must complete as part of the enrollment process. This
document also outlines instructions for accepting admission by registering
for a New Student Conference. Read through these materials carefully and
return the Admission Acceptance and Conference Reservation Form to accept or
decline admission to the university (or use the online New Student
Conference Registration system at
http://newaggie.tamu.edu/nscregistration).We recommend you keep this
booklet for reference, as it contains information that will help you prepare
for your first semester at Texas A&M University.
Now That You're Admitted
New Aggie News
Issued by the Office of New Student Programs three times per year, the New
Aggie News informs newly admitted students about upcoming events, campus
policies and services, timelines for New Student Conferences, and decisions
that need to be made prior to enrolling or arriving to attend the first
semester of classes. The summer issue, in particular, includes information
pertinent to those who have accepted admission and previously attend or are
registered to attend New Student Conferences.

New Student Conference Handbook (Summer & Fall Admits Only)
After returning the Admission Acceptance and Conference Reservation Form
with payment to Undergraduate Admissions (or completing the process online),
admitted undergraduates receive confirmation of a New Student Conference
date and the New Student Conference Handbook in early March. If you register
for a New Student Conference after March 1, please allow 3-4 weeks after you
submit your registration for a conference to receive your handbook. The New
Student Conference Handbook provides details about the conferences, tips for
making a smooth transition into university life, and resources for campus
services that an incoming Aggie might need. Read through it carefully, share
it with your family, and bring your copy with you to your New Student
Conference.
