We hope you are excited for your Texas A&M New Student Conference (NSC)! We have some helpful information as you prepare for your NSC on Tuesday, June 9, and Wednesday, June 10. 

Check-In

Please refer to your check-in details below:

*The MSC is a living memorial and tribute to Aggies who lost their lives in wars past, present, or future. As a memorial, those entering the building are asked to remove their hats. Those walking outside are asked not to walk on the grass surrounding the facility, as a sign of respect to fallen Aggies.

Schedule

For a more detailed view of what to expect, review the 2-Day sample schedule. Your college will share more details about the college block sessions.

Thanks and Gig`em!

You must complete all steps of the Aggie ID process prior to your NSC. All students are required to pick up their Aggie ID during the NSC. To ensure your ID is ready, please complete the following before you arrive: 

Aggie ID cards must be picked up by the student. You can pick up your card during your NSC at the Student Services Building Room 108. 

If you have questions, reach out to aggiecard@tamu.edu or use the text feature at the bottom of myaggiecard.tamu.edu.

There are many action items to take care of before you attend your New Student Conference. Details on some of these items can be found below. Additionally, we recommend that you check your Howdy Portal > Registration Readiness tab for registration holds that will keep you from registering for classes at your NSC. Taking care of these prior to arrival will ensure the smoothest NSC experience! Learn more about checking registration holds by visiting the Aggie One Stop website. Common registration holds and how to resolve them are listed below.

Part 1 of the mandatory Online Orientation  is available and must be completed before your NSC. These modules were created to help prepare you for your NSC and take action on items that may prevent your ability to register for classes. 

To access Online Orientation, go to tx.ag/onlineorientation > Click "Student Login" > Log in with your NetID and password. Those who complete the program as "Family/Guest" will have their account reset and will need to complete it again. 

Upload proof of vaccination against bacterial meningitis to MedProctor. The meningitis deficiency hold will prevent you from checking into your NSC and registering for classes, so it is imperative that you fulfill this requirement as soon as possible prior to your NSC. 

All incoming resident undergraduate students will have to select a Locked or Variable tuition rate plan in Howdy (My Finances Tab in the Billing Tuition and Fees Channel) before being allowed to register for classes for the first time. 

Some incoming students are required to take the Texas Success Initiative before their NSC. Double-check that you have submitted documentation or complete the assessment to determine your exemption status.

Don't forget to review the Pre-NSC Checklist and finish any last-minute to-dos to prepare for your NSC! Below is a list of tasks that you should complete before arriving for your NSC. If not completed, these could impact your ability to register for classes.
