The mission of the Office for Student Success is to amplify student success across campus by supporting initiatives focused on student persistence, achievement, and timely graduation. The center has multiple initiatives supporting various student populations transitioning into Texas A&M University. Below are some campus resources found within the Office for Student Success:

Transfer Student Programs

This program helps transfer students navigate their move to Aggieland. The program even offers student mentors from various colleges/majors that have also transferred into Texas A&M. The program also offers one-on-one advising meetings and opportunities to meet other transfer students.

If you have any more questions specific to transfer students, refer to the Transfer Student Program website or email them at tsp@tamu.edu.

First-Year Experience

Many programs help first-year students transition into college, including Hullabaloo U. Hullabaloo U is a first-year experience course designed to equip students to achieve their academic and personal goals. The class is once a week with 25 other students, one experienced instructor, and a peer mentor.

Academic Advising

Incoming students occasionally face transitional issues when it comes to adjusting to the academic rigors of college. The Office for Student Success provides academic advising for all students. An academic advisory helps students define and achieve their academic goals at Texas A&M. They can also assist in navigating their degree plan.

The Office for Student Success Help Desk provides virtual and in-person appointments. Current students can schedule an appointment with the OSS Help Desk advisors during the designated advising hours. Find more information about Academic Advising through the Office for Student Success website.

Routh First-Generation Center

The Routh First-Generation Center supports first-generation college students from admission to graduation through programs, resources, and campus-wide advocacy. The center is in Hotard Hall, offering a physical space for first-gen students to study, hang out, and receive support from fellow students, mentors, and staff.

First-generation students are students whose parent(s) have not earned a bachelor’s degree. However, they understand that this definition may not fully account for the rich diversity of first-generation college students (e.g., parent(s) may have completed a degree non-traditionally later in life or obtained a degree internationally), and the Routh First-Generation Center welcomes students who believe they will benefit from our program and services.

Learn more about the support services for first-generation college students at Texas A&M through the Routh First-Generation Center’s website.
