About Aggie 201
Sponsored by Graduate Studies, Aggie 201 is an online orientation platform that provides a resource and services overview for new graduate students. Consisting of modules and videos, Aggie 201 helps new students prepare for some of the expected and unexpected aspects of graduate school. We encourage all incoming graduate students to use orientation as an opportunity to become familiar with the various university processes and services.
The online orientation provides incoming students with the ability to learn about key areas of their graduate experience and identify the right individuals to answer their questions before they arrive on campus. Users also have the ability to reference the orientation platform throughout their graduate career.
