Sorry for the confusion, Parking is annual/yearly (not per semester). Sports Pass is also annual/yearly (not per semester).
Things like Meal Plan, University Advancement Fee, Health Center, Rec Center, etc fees are per semester.
For real, nothing beats an Aggie football game in Kyle Field!!

Parking is available whenever ya need itā¦ even if mid semester or spring semester. They prorate it. Loy 100 never fills up so there always be a place.
And if get a pass and donāt use the full year, they refund you the prorated rate as well. So those that graduate in December, get half back for example.

Any advice on the sports pass if your kiddo will be in the Corps and the FTAB? I know he shouldnāt need one for football, but would you buy one for the rest of the year?
You need to join the Quad Momās FB! Itās only parents of Corps members. You must answer all questions for membership, and use the 
before asking questions. That page will be a HUGE help!

He can probably just buy student ticket when he wants to go to the games. They go less often than they think they will. Iād hide and watch first year and then bell know what he needs year 2!

Thank you! I think thatās my plan. The Facebook group makes you wait until Fall to join as a new Cadet parent.
Every page has their own rules.
NSC will be information overload!

If we go into NSC tab (AIS) and look around, then I assume my son is not accepting until I set a dateā¦ correct?
Correctā¦ but itās totally unofficial. Thereās no contract. Even if you select a date and pay, you are not bound to attend Tamu.
Housing is the only contract. Have to withdraw from housing by May 1st in order to not have a mess on your hands.
But even if you go to the nsc and registerā¦ thereās still no commitment. Everyone worries about this. If your student isnāt 100% sure but Tamu is a good possibility, Iād pick a nsc date to ensure you have it.

Just to clarify, would signing up for the NSC commit me to A&M?
Yes, Iām almost positive.
Nope. Zero commitment. Itās an indicator that you are going to accept but thatās it. You can go all the way up to week 1 and there be no commitment except housing (May 1st deadline for refund for that).

No, there is still an option to cancel. We just signed up for NSC and after paying and getting to the final screen there is a button that says āCancel Your Admission and NSC.ā Here is a screenshot.

Asking for a friendā¦due to timing, can kids who get accepted to gateway still do fish camp and are able to rush without conflict to timing with gateway classes?
Definitely able to rush. I donāt think Gateway dates will allow you to do fish camp. They overlap. While itās a great tradition, itās not necessary to find your place. Gateway will be their own type of camp and camaraderie.

For the financial aid portal, should I accept my scholarships now even if IĀ“m not 100% sure IĀ“m going to attend? It says ĀØScholarships and financial aid awards are subject to change based upon funding and student eligibility.ĀØ

At a recent event they said it is best to accept scholarships even if you are undecided. Because it is simple on their end to cancel if you do not enroll, but if you miss the scholarship acceptance deadline, they are gone forever even if you enroll.
