Please use the entrance located on the corner of Joe Routt Blvd. Wheelchair access is available at this entrance. For a smooth start to your day, we encourage you to arrive before Check-In closes at 11:15 a.m., as latecomers will not be accepted.

Schedule
The NSC is a collaborative effort across university departments and colleges. NSC sessions are designed to help you prepare for class registration and transitioning to Texas A&M. The NSC is built into two sections: the university block and the college block. During the university block, you will hear from university services and resources that will help you during your time at Texas A&M. The college block will be spent with your academic unit, where you will learn more about your college, meet with an advisor, and register for classes. A sample session schedule is available at tx.ag/SampleSchedule.
Thanks and Gig`em!

| The weather may be hot or rainy during the NSC. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and walking shoes as you will be traveling around campus. Additionally, campus classrooms, meeting rooms, and auditoriums tend to be chilly, so we suggest bringing a light jacket. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast in advance, as a rain jacket or umbrella may be necessary.
