official college transcripts

Students transferring college credit must submit official transcripts from all colleges attended. Some Texas colleges can send transcripts electronically to UTSA. If an electronic transcript cannot be sent, an official mailed or hand delivered transcript can be submitted to the New Student Admission Office. Faxed or Copied transcripts will not be accepted.

letter of appeal (optional)

A former student may appeal an admissions decision by submitting a letter of appeal to the Office of Admissions. The letter should contain additional information related to the student's academic history and educational goals. The letter of appeal is not required for re-admission.

Students with one academic dismissal from UTSA

Students, other than those classified as provisional students, who are placed on academic dismissal for the first time will be reinstated if they so choose after not attending UTSA for the next regular semester (Fall, Spring, or entire Summer Semester). Students seeking reinstatement must apply for admission with the Admissions Office by July 1 for Fall Semester, December 1 for the Spring Semester, and May 1 for Summer Semester. Students on academic dismissal from UTSA may attend other institutions and transfer appropriate coursework completed to UTSA, but grades earned cannot count toward or be used to improve their UTSA grade point average.
Typically, a student subject to dismissal will be dismissed; however, each UTSA college and school has an appeals procedure administered by the College. A student who wishes to appeal a dismissal should contact the student’s advising center for procedures and deadlines. In unusual circumstances, a student may be allowed to continue subject to conditions prescribed by the Undergraduate Associate Dean.

Provisional Academic Dismissal: Provisionally admitted students who are placed on academic dismissal must attend another college or university and complete a minimum of 12 semester credits of transferable college coursework with a minimum 2.0 grade point average to qualify for reinstatement to UTSA. Provisionally admitted students who have been dismissed, met these qualifications, and wish to be reinstated should apply for admission with the Admissions Office by July 1 for the Fall Semester, December 1 for the Spring Semester, and May 1 for the Summer Semester. The application for admission may be filed online.

Students with two or more academic dismissals from UTSA must petition for reinstatement

Students placed on academic dismissal for a second or subsequent time may be reinstated after not attending UTSA for one calendar year with the approval of the reinstatement committee in the college of the student’s major. Reinstatement decisions for students without a declared major are determined by a reinstatement committee based in the Tomás Rivera Center. Each of these committees reports to a college Dean or Associate Vice President who has final authority for determinations of reinstatement.
Students seeking reinstatement must apply for admission to the Admissions Office and pay the reinstatement fee. The application for admission may be filed online . Upon application and fee payment, the Admissions Office will forward a petition packet containing the petition form and complete instructions to the applicant. The application, reinstatement fee, petition form and all required supporting documentation must be on file in the Admissions Office by June 15 for the Fall Semester; October 15 for the Spring Semester; and March 15 for the Summer Semester, to be considered by the appropriate reinstatement committee. The reinstatement committee’s decision, and any conditions of the decision, will be communicated to the applicant by the reinstatement committee. Students on academic dismissal from UTSA may attend other institutions and transfer appropriate coursework completed to UTSA, but grades earned cannot count toward or be used to improve their UTSA grade point average.

Procedures and Requirements Following Petitions for Reinstatement
If the Dean of the student’s college or the University Reinstatement Committee approves the Petition for Reinstatement, the Office of Admissions will process the application for admission for the requested semester of enrollment. If the petition for reinstatement is disapproved, a student may not file another petition until the following semester. Appeal of a denial for reinstatement may be made to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies within two weeks after notice of the denial is postmarked. The decision of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies is final.

All students who are reinstated from academic dismissal are placed on academic probation and must maintain a minimum semester 2.0 grade point average every semester until they reach a UTSA cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Students who have been reinstated following an academic dismissal must be advised prior to registration. At that time, the student and the advisor will develop a remedial plan specifying expectations the student will be required to meet during the semester. Students who fail to follow the requirements set by the Dean or University Reinstatement Committee will be subject to academic dismissal.
