Welcome
to Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Whether you are a first-time,
transfer or returning student, an exciting time awaits you this coming
semester. In order to become
“campus smart,” you need to become familiar with this handbook.
Valuable information has been printed specifically with you, the
student, in mind. Peruse and
review the various student policies and definitely become familiar with
the Student Code of Conduct. They
can all be found in this publication.
We
know that you are very much interested in attaining academic success, and
we want to assist you. The
Division of Student Affairs is not only interested in your academic
success, but in your social and professional development.
We encourage you to become involved in activities throughout
campus. Investigate the types
of student organizations that are available in your college, specifically
those relating to your major. The
university is a mecca for many activities, like plays, art exhibits, music
concerts, lectures, intramural sports and many others.
The
Division of Student Affairs also offers workshops on time management,
study skills, test taking and other topics.
Your college and/or academic department also may offer these types
of assistance to ensure success while you are here.
Contact your advisor for more information on where and when these
programs are offered. The
faculty and staff at Texas A&M-Kingsville are very interested in your

much of your success is dependent on you.
Good
luck!
