Howdy Portal    

Howdy is a web portal at Texas A&M University that helps students, applicants, faculty, and staff more easily connect to university records and resources. On Howdy, students pay tuition and fee bills, register for courses, and view unofficial transcripts, plus much more.

To check out Howdy, visit http://howdy.tamu.edu.

Please note that students need to activate their NetID and password in order to access Howdy.

Your NetID is used to access your University email, records, eCampus and many other University Systems.

Take the time to choose a suitable NetID as it will be used as your University email address.

To Activate Your NetID

1. Open a web browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox) and go to the web address: http://gateway.tamu.edu/
2. Under "NetID Account Management" select "Activate NetID".
3. Enter your UIN and Date of Birth
4. Click the Login button.
5. On the next screen, enter your chosen NetID and click Submit If your chosen NetID is already in use you will be asked to select another NetID.
   Note: Read the information about the characters allowed for your NetID on the application screen.
   For your campus email address, TAMU Email automatically defaults the NetID to lower case.
   Also, remember you will be giving this email address to family, friends, and potential employers.
