These are in place to ensure safety for all involved. See below for a link to the most common rules and policies relating to recognized student organizations.

The above information is in accordance with the Texas Education Code amended and effective September 1, 2019.
If you witness a behavioral issue with an individual student or a faculty or staff member, visit Tell Somebody to report the incident.
As a member of this University community, if you observe any behavior that is concerning you may report the behavior using the online report form or by contacting one of the Special Situations Team members during business hours. The Special Situations Team is comprised of University faculty and staff charged with helping students, faculty and staff who are exhibiting concerning behavior.
The Department of Civil Rights and Equity Investigations (CREI) is charged with the investigation and resolution of alleged violations of Texas A&M University’s civil rights policies, including Title IX.
This includes instances of sex-based discrimination, harassment (including sexual violence) and related retaliation when this conduct is so severe, persistent or pervasive that it explicitly or implicitly affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work or educational performance, or creates an intimidating or hostile work or educational environment.
Conduct which is not severe, persistent or pervasive may still be a violation of other University policies, and when appropriate, CREI will partner with other University entities to address such conduct.
Individuals with information about any sexual misconduct in the campus community should notify the Title IX Office at (979) 458-8407 and/or the University Police Department at (979) 845-2345.
Sponsored and Authorized Events Calendar
The Sponsored & Authorized Events Calendar provides faculty and staff members with information about university-excused absence activities and other important activities that may impact a student’s class attendance. Please note that this calendar is different than the Get Involved Calendar.
- Authorized activities require participation in a university activity, or are necessary as a requirement for an official class. Authorized activities are university-excused absences as defined by the University Student Rules (Part I, Section 7).
- Sponsored activities are generally considered important to the overall leadership development and education of Texas A&M students, but are not required as part of an official class or as mandatory participation in a university activity. Participation in a sponsored activity is not considered an official university-excused absence, but based on the perceived educational value of the event, instructors are encouraged to consider allowing students to make up the missed work resulting in participation of the event.
Submit an event for approval if you are planning an activity that falls into one of the categories above.
View the Sponsored & Authorized Events Calendar if you want to see a list of approved events.
