San Antonio Universities
This page is intended for students NOT attending UTSA.
How It Works
Even though Air Force ROTC DET 842 is located at UTSA, students from the universities listed above can join our program in accordance with the cross-town agreement
between UTSA and your university. In fact, we have approximately twenty cadets that are cross-town students.
As a student from another university, you can apply to UTSA as a special non-degree seeking student for the sole
purpose of participating in the ROTC program.
You would attend ROTC classes at UTSA's 1604 campus and physical training with the cadet corps.
As a freshmen or sophomore cadet, you can expect to spend about five hours in
ROTC activities per week, not including your travel time. The biggest hurdle for
cross-town cadets is working out a schedule conflict between both universities’
classes. The freshmen/sophomore ROTC classes at UTSA are one credit hour
courses; you can register for a Tuesday or Thursday class.
For freshmen, the Tuesday class is 3:00-3:50 and the Thursday class is
12:30-1:20. For sophmores, the Tuesday class is 11:00-11:50 and the Thursday
class is 2:00-2:50.
When you register for class, you'll also be automatically registered for a 2-hour lab on
Thursday 3:30-5:15.
Finally, you'll join the cadet corps for physical training twice a week. Typically, Monday morning is mandatory for all cadets, and you may select one of the alternate
sessions available Tuesday through Thursday.
Students attending the University of the Incarnate Word, Our Lady of the Lake University, and any Alamo Community College are eligible for the Hispanic
Serving Institute scholarship and the In-College Scholarship Program.
Students attending Trinity University, Saint Mary's University, and the UT Health Science Center are eligible for the In-College Scholarship Program.
All students are eligible for Express
and Nursing Scholarships. Click here to review the Scholarships page.
