New Graduate Student Orientation

The University-wide graduate student orientation provides an introduction to and overview of the graduate education experience at Texas A&M. Whereas many colleges and departments hold graduate orientations to cover objectives and items for specific programs, the new graduate student orientation provides a broad overview of the graduate process at the beginning of each fall and spring semester.

The orientation covers the what, why, and the how of graduate degree requirements, the responsible conduct in research and other pertinent topics. Participants also have the opportunity to learn about available campus resources, campus services and traditions during breakout sessions. A new student receives information on orientation when he/she is admitted to a degree program. For further information about the new graduate student orientation, please contact the Office of Graduate Studies, 302 Jack K. Williams Administration Building, Texas A&M University, 1113 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843-1113, (979) 845-3631 or via email at ogs@tamu.edu.
