Vaccines and Face Coverings

While Texas A&M does not require COVID-19 vaccinations, students, faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccination and wear face coverings, especially indoors (vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals). Find out more details about getting the vaccine on campus at no cost here: tx.ag/VaccineInfo. Other vaccine locations across Brazos County are found on the Health District's website.

All Texas A&M students, faculty and staff - vaccinated and non-vaccinated - must take a COVID-19 test provided by Texas A&M before Sept. 10.

More details: tx.ag/ExposedGuide

Note: Vaccinated individuals would only have to self-monitor if exposed, whereas those who are not vaccinated will have to quarantine.

Aggies Living on Campus

On-campus residents who test positive for COVID-19, or are exposed to someone who tested positive, should submit the COVID-19 Report Form and inform their live-in residential staff. Residential staff are prepared to discuss available options and guide them through the next steps. Some residents may be able to isolate/quarantine in their own room or apartment, depending on their unique situation and where they live. Residents who are from a location beyond a five-hour drive from College Station might have the option to isolate/quarantine in an alternate location on campus.

Each case will be evaluated individually.

Contact the Department of Residence Life at 979-862-3158 or visit their website at reslife.tamu.edu for more information.

On-campus residents are strongly encouraged to be proactive and formulate a plan now for where they will go if they become ill or exposed, even those who are fully vaccinated. Residents who are able to return to their permanent residence to isolate/quarantine are strongly encouraged to do so and save the limited resources for residents who cannot logistically return home to isolate/quarantine.
