How Can Former Students Access Their TAMU Howdy Portal?
If you attended Texas A&M University from the Fall of 1985 or later, you may use the Howdy web portal to access transcripts, duplicate diplomas, pay an active student loan, and more.
You can activate your account access by following these steps:
1. Complete the former student questionnaire to activate your University Identification Number.
2. Your University Identification Number (UIN) will be emailed to you within minutes of completing the questionnaire. If you do not receive an email, contact [email protected] from the email address to which you expect the activation email to be sent.
3. Follow the instructions in the email to activate your account.
This process must be completed within three hours of completing the former student questionnaire. If you do not complete it during this time, you will have to start over by completing the questionnaire again.
Once you gain access to Howdy, your account will remain active for six months. After that time, you will need to repeat the above steps to reactivate your account.
