University Requirements for Third Parties
Third-Party Programs follow the same University requirements as programs hosted by Texas A&M colleges, departments, and student organizations, with a few additions and exceptions. In order to clearly understand the expectations of Third Party Programs at Texas A&M, we recommend reviewing University Rule 24.01.6.M1. This list is meant to be a resource for Program Sponsors to understand the expectations of Third Party Programs. The below list will also identify where you can find more information on the topic within the UYP website and within the University Rule.
