Thousands of Aggies, family and friends gather at the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center on Aggie Ring Day to celebrate achieving an academic milestone and receiving the most visible symbol of the Aggie Network: the Aggie Ring.

Due to the large crowds, it's important for you to understand how Aggie Ring Day works, and to help your guests understand Aggie Ring Day. This section is designed to provide quick access to all the information you'll need on Aggie Ring Day.

Shuttles and Parking

What's Ring Day Like?

Aggie Ring Day is a celebration of remarkable achievement. However, it is also a large, loud, crowded, and logistically intricate event. At the April 2023 Ring Day, nearly 6,000 Aggies will receive their Aggie Rings, and about 45,000 additional guests are expected to join them. In order to safely manage such a massive crowd, the entire day is carefully scheduled, and all movement into, out of and around the Alumni Center is carefully controlled. Please read this page and the various emails we have sent so that you know what to expect.

While you are at Aggie Ring Day, please be aware of your surroundings, listen for announcements and be prepared for the possibility of last-minute changes due to weather or other events beyond our control.

What to Bring

Your Ring Ticket
The Ring recipient's one ticket will provide entry for their group.

2 Forms of Identification
Student ID, Driver's License, Passport, Ring Receipt

To pick up your Aggie Ring, you will need your Ring Ticket and two forms of identification. Your Ring Ticket reserves your spot in the assigned group and gives you and your guests entrance into the Haynes Ring Plaza and the Alumni Center when your group number is called. Entry before your Ticket group time is not permitted.

Have a screenshot of your Ring Ticket on your phone or print it beforehand to show staff.

Ring Ticket pull opens online beginning at 7 a.m. two weeks before Aggie Ring Day, and will continue through Aggie Ring Day. Early access for Century Club members begins Tuesday, March 21 at 7 a.m.

Who Can I Bring?

There is no limit to how many guests you can bring, but remember that guests may only enter the Williams Alumni Center with their Ring recipient. Please wait for your entire group to arrive before having your ticket checked.

Please consider how weather conditions, walking distances, no seating, and large crowds in and around the Alumni Center will affect the health, safety, and comfort of your guests.

When You Arrive

Aggie Ring Day is held in the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center. If you are waiting on guests or arrive early, we recommend finding a shaded place to wait in Aggie Park. Once your guests have been gathered and it is time for your group, proceed towards the Williams Ring Lawn.

If your group has not been called, you can enjoy the festivities outside the Alumni Center grounds.

When Your Group is Called

Have your Ring Ticket ready for staff to verify it as you enter the Alumni Center. If using your mobile device, take a screenshot prior to arriving, as cell service can be spotty on Ring Day.
You and your guests can move into the Haynes Ring Plaza. Make sure your entire group is together for entrance.
Line up under the banner that corresponds with your last name.

In the Alumni Center

Find the Delivery Station that contains your last name.
Present your two forms of ID to receive your Aggie Ring.
Check to make sure the Class year and engraving are correct.

After you receive your Aggie Ring, please quickly exit the delivery area and Alumni Center so your fellow Aggies can receive theirs. You are welcome to take personal photos around the Alumni Center grounds and throughout the beautiful Texas A&M campus. Re-entry into the Haynes Ring Plaza to take photos is not permitted.

Not a Perfect Fit?

Different activities and temperatures throughout the day can cause your hands and fingers to constantly change. Wearing your Ring for several days will help you best determine if a resize is necessary.

If you need to resize your Aggie Ring, stop by the Aggie Ring Office the following week.

Turning Your Ring

Aggie tradition is that you wear your new Aggie Ring with the year facing you, as a constant reminder to yourself of your goal to graduate from Texas A&M. At Ring Dance or during your commencement ceremony, you will turn your Ring so that the year faces outward, proudly declaring your achievement to everyone you meet.

Wearing the Tradition

The Association of Former Students congratulates you on reaching this very significant milestone. Please remember that the legacy of the Aggie Ring has been built by the hundreds of thousands of Aggies who came before you.

Once that Ring is on your hand, you are a representative of both Texas A&M University and the legendary Aggie Network—everywhere you go and in everything you do. Always make sure your actions are guided by the core values of our great university, and never do anything to dishonor the Aggie Ring or the reputation of the worldwide Aggie Network.
