Log into your Howdy Portal, and select the My Profile icon located at the top of the screen. There will be a drop down labeled “Holds” in the right hand corner that will provide you with more information about the holds placed on your account. 

Request an official transcript from your high school. This transcript needs to include your high school graduation date. Send final high school transcript(s) via TREx (Texas high schools only), mail, or hand deliver to Admissions Customer Service. No matter the method of delivery, the official transcript needs to be received in a sealed envelope from the sending school.

Incoming freshman 
Admitted students may request a change of major in your Howdy Portal 7 days prior to their NSC. This must be done by 5 p.m. Some college and majors have enrollment limits and will not accept a change of major application. Students can only choose from the colleges and majors with space available at the time of request. A change of major is never guaranteed and majors can fill prior to your request. 

Students are encouraged to meet with a Transition Academic Programs (TAP) advisor prior to requesting a change of major to make sure the new major aligns with your career goals and aspirations. You will receive a specific link to the virtual advising room approximately 10 days prior to your NSC. 

Incoming transfer 
Transfer students are admitted to a specific major based off of their academics. You will not be eligible for a change of major until completion of your first semester. After your first semester, you must meet all change of major guidelines for your desired major including GPA and course requirements. Change of major is not a guarantee.

Incoming freshman and incoming transfer students will meet their major academic advisor(s) on Day 2 of the New Student Conference. 

Current TAMU students should meet with their academic advisor at least once per semester to ensure they are on the right track and making progress towards degree requirements.
