Congratulations! Welcome to Aggieland. Please use this thread to ask, share and celebrate all things for admitted students, the newest Class of Texas A&M!
Thanks for starting this thread, Christi.
My student’s phase 2 housing opens today. Just wanted to verify that phase 2 housing is non-binding and not a big deal. My student does not plan on picking an LLC.
When does TAMU publish the 2025-2026 course catalog?
Correct. Phase 2 is slightly irrelevant. You are never bound by anything. You will lose deposit if not cancelled by the deadline in May that ResLife sets, buts that’s it.

Mid spring. Current Students start registering after spring break.

Do they usually signal in advance if there may be some changes to the previous catalog?
Are you talking course times and profs or just degree plan in general?
Edited to say the times and offerings and profs will change every semester… especially for freshman classes. When you get upper level and smaller classes then it’s possible they stay consistent but a lot depends on the prof and their availability and classroom availability.
Degree plans in general, things like the university core curriculum and what classes they allow for credit.
That doesn’t change much if any.

My kid has already looked up her degree plan (business) and started marking off what she thinks she may get credit for between dual enrollment and AP courses. Should she be trying to contact an advisor in the Spring to get more specific info, or just wait until NSC and that’s the time and place to get that all figured out? She’s already aware of not accepting AP credits until advised to do so and that some classes are still best to take again at TAMU etc. I think nearly all the credits are for core curriculum/general ed type of classes anyway.
Yes, highly recommend waiting til NSC to discuss with advisor about all the things. As a future student, it’ll be hard to get into a Mays advisor before then (almost impossible unless you know people who know people).
And you’re spot on about taking some AP courses again vs taking credit. There’s literally no rush.

I just got admitted as a National Merit Semifinalist (received an email - letter is still in the mail.) What would my next steps be from here?
I was looking for info about scholarships and aid but so far there’s nothing.
@Arjun_B did you submit scholarship application when you applied? Hopefully you did…
Are you an STEM major? Unfortunately, you just missed the priority deadline to apply for the Brown Foundation Scholarship-deadline Oct 10th.
uh-oh. Was the scholarship application part of the commonapp?
When will information about honors college admission decisions be released? Don’t really care about university honors, more focused on departmental.
What major?
Applied mathematics
Every college & major HNR program is different.
I’d contact Math dept directly-there should be a contact person on their Math HNR link.
Okay, I feel like this is a stupid question so please don’t judge. My son is color blind and we have normally been able to just tell teachers via email as he has been assigned to them throughout his schooling. We warn them because when reading a book with a map or chart, he may see things differently. Also, those random assignments that require coloring get him every time. It really is interesting the little hang ups that he encounters because of his color blindness. Sometimes he doesn’t even realize that there was a mistake to be made. Has any one in this group had a color blind kid go to college? How did they handle it? Did they just tell a professor in advance? We have always been there to help tell him the true color of something he is reading or working on and of course we won’t be there now. He feels stupid asking his peers for help with colors so I doubt he is going to change that. I know that this isn’t a true disability that he can get help with so I am just wondering how others have approached this. Like I said, I feel really dumb for bringing this up but it is just a concern for my husband and I.
