Notice of Admission Decision
Texas A&M University receives many more academically prepared applicants for
admission than we can accommodate. Admission decisions are made throughout the
application period and announced as soon as possible. A final decision may not be announced
until early December for spring admission or late March for summer or fall
admission. A limited number of applicants may be offered provisional admission that
requires the successful completion of a summer school program at Texas A&M. In addition,
some applicants may be considered for the Texas A&M Blinn TEAM Program (see
blinnteam.tamu.edu) or participation in the Program for System Admission (see
admissions.tamu.edu/PSA).
Suspected Fraudulent Admission Applications
Applicants for admission to Texas A&M University should be aware that the information
submitted will be relied upon by University officials to determine their status for
admission and residency for tuition purposes. By signing and submitting an admission
application, the applicant certifies that the information in, and submitted with, the application
is complete and correct and may be verified by Texas A&M University. The
submission of false or incomplete information is grounds for rejection of the application,
withdrawal of any offer of acceptance, cancellation of enrollment or any other appropriate
disciplinary action.
For prospective students (admitted but not enrolled), the initial determination of
whether an individual has submitted a fraudulent application will be made by the Associate
Director of Admissions, with a final right of appeal to the Assistant Vice President
for Academic Services and Director of Admissions for undergraduate students and to the
Dean of Graduate Studies for graduate students.
For enrolled students, the initial determination of whether a student submitted a
fraudulent application will be made by the Registrar, with a final right of appeal to the
University Disciplinary Appeals Panel or to the Graduate Appeals Panel.
Any University official who suspects that a prospective student or enrolled student
has submitted a fraudulent admission application must notify the Director of Admissions
or the Office of the Registrar.
Transfer Admissions
Transfer applicants are admitted to a specific major and are required to follow the
curriculum of that major.
To prepare for transfer, identify your desired major and its Degree Track on page 60.
Coursework for the five Degree Tracks are presented on page 62. An applicant should
complete as many courses as possible in Table 1 of the Degree Track for their desired
major. Other courses that will fulfill degree requirements for that Degree Track are listed
in Table 2. Students who begin a set of courses which have a two-semester sequence are
encouraged to complete both courses in the sequence before transferring to Texas A&M.
