The Texas State University-San Marcos Office of Admissions will be hosting the first Bobcat Day of the semester on Saturday, Oct. 17, with check-in beginning at 9 a.m. on the third floor of the LBJ Student Center on campus.

Bobcat Day is open to all students and parents who wish to learn more about Texas State and will last until 3 p.m. During the day, sessions will be conducted on admissions, financial aid and scholarships, residence life, transfer credit and multicultural student affairs. A browse area called University Exchange allows guests to visit with faculty from all academic departments and staff from student service offices. Guests will also have an opportunity to take a campus tour, tour the residence halls and meet with current Texas State students.

There is no registration fee to attend Bobcat Day, and guests do not need to RSVP in advance. Guests may purchase a meal ticket to "The Lair" for lunch that day. Tickets are $6 each and may be purchased at check-in.
