Helpful TAMU Websites:

Below are several important website links to help Aggies and parents locate info easily. Of course, all can be accessed through the main page at www.tamu.edu.

Academic Success Center – This is where students can access tutoring, supplemental instruction, academic coaching, disability services, and more. If students need any help with academics, this is where to begin.

University Health Services – Students can access medical care and mental health resources. It is always wise to browse what resources are available so that you know ahead of an emergency.

Campus Safety – TAMU takes student safety very seriously and provides many resources. At this link, you will find the links to TAMUPD, Code Maroon, emergency phones, Corps of Cadets escorts, safe rides (CARPOOL), and more. Parents can get info and reassurances on how TAMU prepares and plans for emergencies.

Parking & Transportation – Aggie and parents can find information about parking permits, event parking, visitors, buses, shuttles, game day, and more and this link.

Disability Resources – A Division of Student Affairs, Disability Resources is where students can set up access to resources to help them be successful in and out of the classroom. It is strongly suggested that students wishing to receive accommodations make an appointment with DR as soon as possible to avoid delays receiving services. (Reminder to parents: All students are required and encouraged to handle accessing DR services themselves. Since they are adults, parents will not be given access to student info without a signed release. See the following FAQs for more info for parents.)
