Evidence of vaccination must verify that the vaccination was received at least 10 days prior to the first day of the semester. Detailed information about this requirement, including guidance for how to submit evidence of vaccination or evidence to decline vaccination, can be found on the Office of Admissions’ Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination webpage.

Students planning to live on-campus at should be aware that the Department of Residence Life designates specific dates as the official move-in dates for each semester. Please visit the Department of Residence Life website, to determine the move-in date for semester in which you will begin your degree program. Students may request an early move-in date for their on-campus residence hall by sending an e-mail to the Housing Assignments Office (housing@tamu.edu) with their full name, UIN, reason for wanting to move in early, and the date that they would like to move-in. Such requests will be handled and approved on a case-by-case basis. Students are not guaranteed to obtain approval for early move-in. If approved to move in early, you will be charged a per night rate for moving into your residence hall. The total charge will depend upon the style of residence hall and the number of nights you are there early. All students arriving prior to their earliest permissible move-in date will need to find off-campus temporary accommodations until they are permitted to move-in. Information about temporary accommodations can be found at Transportation and Temporary Accomodation Upon Arrival page.
