Ring Day information

Organizers say each ring recipient needs to pull a ring ticket at AggieNetwork.com to determine their time to pick up their ring, and that each recipient needs to bring their ring ticket with them, plus two of the following three items:

  • Ring receipt
  • Driver’s license
  • Student ID

Note: In the event of potentially dangerous weather, ring recipients and their guests should look for emails and social media posts from The Association of Former Students, as well as posts on AggieNetwork.com further information. Under such circumstances, guests are advised to take shelter in the Memorial Student Center or University Center Garage. 

Parking and transportation

Texas A&M Transportation Services will close Houston St. from 8:45 a.m. until the conclusion of Ring Day to provide greater safety for pedestrian traffic. There will be no access to our circle drive off Houston St.

Parking is not available at the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center on Ring Day. Ring Recipients and guests are encouraged to use the Ring Day shuttle which runs from 8:45 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. Friday from the West Campus Garage.

Parking options, Ring Day shuttle schedule and information for those with accessibility questions are available on the Aggie Ring Day website.

About the Aggie Ring

The first known Aggie Ring was produced in 1889 and today the Aggie Ring Program, managed by The Association of Former Students, is the largest collegiate ring program in country.

Aggies must earn 90 credit hours before ordering their Aggie Ring and obtaining the Aggie Ring is a highly anticipated milestone.

In 2018, more than 15,000 Aggie Rings were purchased.
