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 Integrity

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 Theory - CAEN 101

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.
