- Our last Dusty Camp is Aug. 24 – 25. Find out more about the Dusty Camp experience here.
- Move-In to Student Housing takes place this Saturday, Aug. 26!
- Do you have any unfinished business before the semester starts? Take advantage of our Unfinished Business event also this Saturday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. in the Senator Judith Zaffirini Student Success Center. You’ll still be able to register for classes and meet with other offices including Admissions, Business Office, Financial Aid, Testing and more!
- Are you a student looking for on-campus employment? The Office of Human Resources has moved the student employment process to Workday to help make the student employment process much easier and more convenient for student applicants. Students can search for current job vacancies and apply for positions of interest, via Workday.
- How about a sneak preview of what to expect next Monday? Head over to go.tamiu.edu/fallpreview to find out about changes, new opportunities, resources, and plans for an exciting Fall@TAMIU.
- Registration continues and classes start Monday, Aug. 28. Here’s more via the Registration Hub. Remember: Tuition and fees remain frozen for the third year in a row, helping you to save on your degree. Here’s details.
- Free COVID-19 Testing Kits are available at the offices of Student Health, and in lobby/reception areas in Environmental Health and Safety (inside our Physical Plant) and the University Police Department.
- Heading outdoors during peak heat periods? Stay hydrated and apply sunscreen regularly. Light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and hats provide additional protection during our ongoing heatwave.
Dustdevils, Keep It Cool!
