Begin Your Jaguar Journey
1) Visit Campus
Have you visited campus yet? Explore campus and hear about what it means to be a Jaguar! Sign up to take a campus tour led by a current student. Not able to come to campus? No problem! You can explore campus virtually with the 360-degree virtual tour.
2) Access Your Jaguar Student Account
To access the JagWire Student Portal, use your Jaguar username and temporary password. Look for your Jaguar username on your admission letter or email. Your temporary password is the first two letters of your last name (capitalized) and full 8-digit birthday. Once youve activated your login, head over to the Duo Activation App to set up your mobile device or phone number for multi-factor authentication. DUO helps make sure that its really you accessing your accounts. This must be completed BEFORE you can access your JagWire Student Portal. Questions? Call the Enrollment Services Center at 210-784-1300.
3) Get Your Student ID
Texas A&M University-San Antonio requires an identification card (ID) for all students. All ID cards are issued at the Enrollment Services Center. Students use the card to access student services, printing and Jaguar Cash.
4) Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships
96% of all students receive some sort of aid including grants, scholarships and loans. Be sure to complete the FAFSA or TASFA by the March 15th Priority Deadline.

Starting on March 1st, you will be invited to confirm your enrollment at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. When you get the email asking you to confirm your enrollment, select YES and you'll be directed to the Enrollment Confirmation page. Complete the form and answer the required questions. Then, you will get to choose a date for New Student Orientation, either online or in person.
6) Complete New Student Orientation Virtually or Attend In-Person NSO
If you opt to complete New Student Orientation online, you will get a link and will be able to complete it within 1-2 hours. If you prefer to do in-person NSO, you'll get to sign-up for a specific day and you'll get to explore campus, learn more about the University and meet tons of new students just like you. Youll also get to meet faculty in your major and talk with an academic advisor about your first semester of classes!
7) Submit Your Final Transcripts
Don't forget to submit your final transcripts! You have to submit your college transcripts in order to be admitted, but we also need your final transcripts once you graduate. All students are encouraged to submit their final transcripts during their first semester. Final transcripts must be on file in order for you to register for subsequent semesters.
8) Get Advised and Register for Classes
Meeting with an advisor is highly encouraged. Some transfer students may be required to meet with an advisor before registering for classes. If you attend an in-person NSO, you will get to register for classes during that time.
9) Submit Your Vaccination Records
State law requires new students under the age of 22 to have proof of vaccination for bacterial meningitis. Vaccination records should be submitted in Med+Proctor at least 10 days prior to your first semester.
10) Accept Your Financial Aid Offer or Set-Up a Payment Plan
If you applied for financial aid, you will receive a financial aid offer letter. Due to delays with the Department of Education, A&M-San Antonio will not be able to process your aid until mid to late May. Once you have enrolled in classes, you will receive a bill via email. Students who have a remaining balance will be required to pay their bills or set up a payment plan before the first payment deadline.
11) Attend Your Transfer Assembly
All transfer students are invited to attend a Jaguar Transfer Assembly. This unique transfer-minded program is designed to ensure our students are prepared and have everything they need to be successful for the upcoming semester. An email invitation will be sent prior to the start of your first semester.
12) Purchase a Parking Pass & Textbooks
Parking on campus requires the purchase of a parking permit, which will be available during the Summer before the upcoming academic year. You can also ride for FREE with the VIA Bus and VIA Link services by simply showing your Student ID. Go to VIAinfo.net/Upass for more info. For textbooks and other classroom items, the A&M-San Antonio Bookstore offers online services where you can enter your ID number and get all of your books in a few clicks!
