I have housing and dining-related questions...

On-campus student housing is open and available for students taking classes on-site, online or both.  If an on-campus student needs to self-isolate because they have tested positive for COVID-19 or are considered a close contact, they should contact their hall/apartment staff regarding self-isolation options.  Contact the Department of Residence Life at 979-862-3158 or visit their website at https://reslife.tamu.edu for more information.

 

Sbisa, Duncan, and Commons will be cashless starting Fall 2020. All stations be attendant served and pre-packaged hot To-Go meals are available for purchase at Creekside Market, Southside Market, and the New Northside Market (renovated Aggie Express across from Hobby Hall). Corps of Cadets may choose to get their March-In Meals To-Go for breakfast and dinner. For more information about Dining's commitment to safety, visit https://dineoncampus.com/tamu/our-safety-measures.

I have apartment lease-related questions...

At this time, all current off-campus leases that students have with their property management companies must continue to be in effect, unless a deal has been privately worked out with the tenant and leasing company.

This does in fact mean that rent will need to be paid as usual from the tenant, and all leasing agreements must be adhered to. This is a contractual agreement between a tenant and leasing agency that Texas A&M University is not affiliated with, and does not have decision making authority, unfortunately.

That being said, for the group of off-campus students that do decide to leave Bryan/College Station, we strongly recommend that they begin a communication with their leasing agencies to determine what, if anything, can be negotiated. At this point in time, any student who decides to leave their apartment for the rest of the semester is making a personal and voluntary decision to do so, and therefore will need to still adhere to leasing contracts that are in place. Be sure to ask your property manager about options on waiving late fees and adjusting payment plans.

The Texas Apartment Association has also issued information that may be helpful for those that live off campus. For more resources, check out Student Legal Services.

I have other questions...

We're here for you, Ags! If you still have questions or are feeling overwhelmed and aren't sure where to start, Student Assistance Services is happy to help. You can email us at studentlife@tamu.edu. We know that times are tough and stressful - let us help you get through it.
