FRESH START Students with three or more semester credit hours awarded prior to Fall 1989, are exempt from the Texas Success Initiative regardless of election of academic Fresh Start.

ten or more years ago. This opportunity is not automatic and must be requested in
writing to the Office of the University Registrar. GRADUATE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS IMPORTANT: Students must visit the Office of Graduate Studies and Research for program information/requirements on graduate programs.

Provisional admission is not available for all degree programs and is not available for international students. Students should check with the chair of the department/division delivering the program to determine provisional admission availability. Probationary admission may be granted to students who have submitted all documents for admission but do not meet all requirements for full admission such as a low overall grade point average, low GRE/GMAT scores, departmental requirements or lack of appropriate background for the chosen master's program.

Individual departments may require other indicators of potential for success. Applicants should check the specific program admission requirements. Contact the Dean's Office in the College for additional information. The College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) reviews applicants prior to the beginning of each long semester. All COAS master program applicants must submit satisfactory GRE scores to be admitted. Spanish majors must also pass a departmentally administered examination. The College of Business Administration (COBA) Graduate Admissions Committee will make admission recommendations based upon review of the applicant's upper level grade point average, standardized test scores (e.g., GMAT/GRE/EXAMEN DE ADMISION), statement of purpose, resume, and two letters of recommendation. Students admitted with conditions must satisfactorily complete those conditions in order to remain in graduate school. The College of Education (COED) reviews applicants for admission to its graduate programs prior to the beginning of each semester. Applicants are reviewed on the basis of their completed application for graduate school, academic record as reflected on transcripts, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, interviews, and other relevant documentation. The College may grant conditional admission for a maximum of six graduate hours to students who have not met the GRE requirement and who hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. Conditional status must be removed at the end of the six semester credit hours and before any other coursework can be taken.

Student Counseling Services staff understand that psychological adjustment is connected to the health of the whole person —including the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well being of the individual. As such, staff clinicians may use testing and assessment to assist in diagnosis, treatment planning and to facilitate the helpfulness of therapy. The majority of our counseling activities span social-emotional and educational-career concerns. Assistance is often provided for concerns such as stress management, adjustment to college, study skills, time management, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-destructive behaviors. The Student Counseling Services provides a variety of services for the TAMIU community. Our main service is counseling/ psychotherapy provided individually, as a couple, or as a group. Psychological education is also offered through workshops held periodically around campus. Additionally, we further promote the academic goals of the University through the provision of high-quality training for graduate students entering mental health professions. In that vein, psychological services are provided by both professional staff and graduate-student interns. In general, our staff’s work with individuals emphasizes short-term treatment, which utilizes an issue of focus for counseling determined by both the individual and the clinician, and aims at management of that particular issue within a relatively brief amount of time. Student Counseling Services offers support for a variety of challenges and concerns that at times do require professional assistance as well as referral to medical, nutritional, and/or other appropriate community resources to maximize health and well being. Additionally, the clinical staff is happy to assist individuals in identifying long-term or more intensive treatment options in the community in cases where extended care is indicated. Through our endeavors we support the educational mission of Texas A&M International University. As a staff, we attempt to facilitate mutual respect and understanding among people of diverse backgrounds, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, physical ability and other types of diversity. Student Counseling Services is located in the Student Center building, Room 124. The staff is on call during regular hours of operation of the University. Typical hours of service include Monday through Friday, 8 am -5 pm, throughout the year. However, evening hours may be offered during the Fall and Spring semesters. In the event of a crisis after regular hours of service or during university holidays, campus police may be contacted at 326-2100. The Student Counseling Services office is part of the College of Nursing. For questions, or to make an appointment to speak with a counselor, please call (956) 326-2230 (voice/TTY), or stop by Student Center, Room 124.

We aim to foster greater awareness both of, and for, persons with disabilities in our multilngual, multicultural international environment." Disability Services for Students will assist any student who has an appropriately documented disability in coordinating needed support services, physical or academic. These services will be coordinated between the University and if available, with government or private agencies.

Students have the right to due process proceedings to challenge or correct actions the University or Disability Services for Students has taken, may take, or has not taken for an individual student's benefit, or if Disability Services for Students has failed to aid the student in a reasonable fashion. If the student feels that her or his documented disability is not being appropriately accommodated by Texas A&M International University's Disability Services for Students, the student has the right to obtain outside legal counseling or proceedings. Texas A&M International University's Disability Services for Students offers a variety of services for students with disabilities, including the following: accessible furniture in classrooms, assistance in recruiting note takers, assistance in ordering textbooks on tape, assistance in taping textbooks when textbooks on tape are not available, equipment loan (cassette players/recorders), materials enlarged (e.g., exams, handouts), sign language interpreters, alternative testing arrangements, counseling and other reasonable services.
