Admitting non-Texas A&M Students
Texas A&M encourages enrolling REU/SURE students when possible. The deadline for students to apply is May 1, 2026. This deadline includes the enrollment of non-TAMU/non-degree seeking students. Some of the benefits of enrolling students into the university (rather than hiring students as student employees) include being able to track participation in high-impact practices and research activities through enrollment in 0- or 1-credit hour courses, as well as being able to verify bacterial meningitis vaccinations and early graduate admissions program participation.
The Office of Admissions has announced a new application system for use starting in summer 2024.
Students will receive an email with their UIN and instructions for setting up their NetID and password after they submit an application. They will use the information in this email to gain access to Applicant Information System (AIS) (https://applicant.tamu.edu/) where they will upload their college transcripts and proof of bacterial meningitis vaccination.
Non-famous students admitted into the university must be classified as “Non-degree seeking” students.
International students coming from outside the US need to be admitted and apply for the I-20 or DS-2019 at least three months before the summer program starts. The student may have to apply for a visa.
Instructions and guidelines for admitting students can be found in the Office of Admissions documentation.
- PIs must provide a list of all REU/SURE students to the Office of Admissions
- Allows the Admit Type (SR or IU) to be placed correctly on non-TAMU student accounts for the removal of the $100 General Deposit.
- Allows the Office of Admissions to admit groups for efficiency.
- Send lists of students to Jessica Pitt at jlpitt@tamu.edu. Students are admitted in groups, so lists need to be complete.
