Reasons for Students to Make an Appointment with a Case Manager:

They have questions but are unsure which department or office can assist.
They need help navigating various Texas A&M processes or offices on campus.
They have medical absences and need to explore options.

Reasons for Parents to Contact Student Assistance Services:

To communicate with a campus staff member when their student is unable to do so.
To gain knowledge about various Texas A&M processes that may impact their student.
To meet with a case manager alongside their student to explore potential resources.

When speaking with a case manager, they may not be able to share detailed information about your student’s educational record. Case managers can provide general information about TAMU processes.
