First-Time Registration
TAMIU Onsite Registration
TAMIU Onsite Registration is an in-person advising event hosted at various high schools or community venues. During these events, multiple TAMIU student success offices service students and their families prior to their first class day. These events are designed for incoming students to complete any admissions, registration, financial aid, orientation, and/or housing processes. Students are typically invited to these events based on the school or location of the Onsite Registration.
TAMIU Registration Live
TAMIU Registration Live is a virtual advising session and an alternative to Onsite Registration. This alternative registration option allows students to create their TAMIU class schedule with a TAMIU Representative via a virtual environment (i.e., videoconferencing or phone). This arrangement was created amid the COVID-19 pandemic to provide students and families options for registration without compromising on health and safety. Students are encouraged to visit tamiu.as.me during registration periods to participate in Registration Live.
