Strategic Initiative III

Promoting Access and Affordability

The University of Texas at San Antonio values its role in promoting access and affordability. Texas and the nation face enormous challenges to enhance educational opportunities for our citizens. Promoting access helps to develop an educated citizenry that will benefit from the opportunities and contribute to the goals of the changing global environment. The enrollment growth experienced by UTSA during this decade has necessitated planning for future growth to enable the University to reach its expectations for educational and student development programming, graduation rates, and research contributions, while maintaining affordable access. UTSA has established three goals to foster access and affordability.

Goal 1: Create and market an enrollment plan that promotes student success and supports the goals of Texas' Closing the Gaps initiative. The enrollment plan will include student recruitment and financial aid strategies to meet the goals of access and affordability.

Goal 2: Develop partnerships with families, schools, community colleges, and communities that facilitate a collaborative teaching, learning, service, and research environment and communicate to learners the pathways toward their educational and career goals.

Goal 3: Refine policies and expand programs for student financial aid to help qualified students gain and maintain access to a high-quality, affordable education.
