Academic Advising
Each student attending TAMUG is assigned a faculty advisor by his or her
academic department. Students are encouraged to meet with their
assigned advisor regularly. Department advisors are the best
source for academic questions as they relate to a student's degree plan.
The Office of Academic Enhancement does provide general academic
advising in the areas of course registration, time management, and study
skills. In an effort to provide quality advising, students are
encouraged to schedule appointments with one of our
staff members.
Academic Intergrity
For many years, Aggies have
followed a Code of Honor:
An Aggie does not lie,
cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.
The Aggie Code of Honor functions as a
symbol to all Aggies, promoting understanding and loyalty to truth and
confidence in each other.
On September 1, 2004, a new honor system was
put in place to help prevent and deal with academic dishonesty. You can
find more information on this program, called "Know the Code," on the
Office of the Aggie Honor System's website at

Applications of Learning
Theories to College Studies - CAEN 101
2 credit hours, graded, referred to by students as "Succeeding in College"
Applications of Learning
Theory is a course designed to assist students with the transition to
college, both academically and socially. A successful transition is
dependent upon self reflection and understanding, and the development of
good habits and decision making. Topics such as time management,
goal setting, and study skills are the foundation of each student's
ability to be a success in college. Succeeding in college is a
desire of most students. How each student achieves success is
indicative of the development of good "student-centered" habits.
Developmental
Courses in Reading, Writing,
and Math
According to the Texas
Success Initiative (TSI) students who do not
pass one or more sections of the Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA)
or one of the alternative tests are required to enroll in the
corresponding developmental course in reading, writing, or math. These
courses, taught through the Office of Academic Enhancement, offer small
group instruction and individualized lessons. Students who have failed a
portion of the THEA or one of the alternative tests should contact
Debra Carraway
for assistance at (409) 741-4343.

Dr. Bob Sindylek, provides
services to students with disabilities through the Counseling Office. The
