On behalf of every member of #JAXNATION, we are excited that you have decided to enroll at Texas A&M University-Victoria. As you begin to transition into college, it's essential to learn and hear from those who have been in your shoes before.

First-Year Students

  • It is a requirement for all first-year students to attend Jaguar Journey Welcome Weekend. Jaguar Journey is held in Victoria the weekend before (August 28-30, 2025) classes begin for the fall semester and is required for all first-year students. 
  • We encourage you to register for classes as soon as possible, as classes fill up quickly. Work with the Center for Student Success to register for classes in an advising session before attending a ROAR First-Year Orientation session.
  • All entering college students under the age of 22 must submit proof that they have been immunized against bacterial meningitis or have received a booster during the five years prior to registration, in order to register for classes. Visit the  Student Handbook's Bacterial Meningitis page for more information. 
  • You will work with your success coach (academic advisor) in the Center for Student Success to register for classes. They will assist you with the process.
