6. ACADEMIC RESOURCES AND STUDENT SERVICES


STUDENT SERVICES AND RESOURCES

ENROLLMENT SERVICES CENTER

The mission of the Enrollment Services Center at The University of Texas at San Antonio is to serve students and the community in an efficient, service-friendly atmosphere. The Center provides information and guidance regarding admission, registration, financial aid, scholarships, fiscal services, and various student service-related offices. The Enrollment Services Center works closely with other UTSA offices to ensure that current information is provided to students to alleviate the need to visit numerous offices to obtain information. Service is provided at the 1604 and Downtown campuses as well as through the Enrollment Services Call Center.

Some of the services include:

Students may call (210) 458-8000 or 1-800-669-0919 to speak to a representative for questions and assistance regarding enrollment at the University.

FINANCIAL AID

The primary purpose of financial aid is to provide resources to students who would otherwise be unable to pursue a postsecondary education. UTSA believes that all students should be able to attend the university that best suits their academic and personal needs. The UTSA Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) will meet the direct costs or financial need of all eligible students until funds have been exhausted. All students are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the availability of funds, academic performance, and demonstrated financial need.

Financial aid programs available for undergraduate students include: Federal PELL Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Texas Public Education Grants, TEXAS Grants, UTSA Grants, Institutional, Federal, and State Work-Study, Federal Family Education Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Alternative Loans, and various scholarships.

Financial aid programs available for graduate students include: Federal and State Work-Study, Texas Public Education Grants, UTSA Grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Family Education Loans, Alternative Loans, and various scholarships.

For more information regarding any of these programs, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Financial Aid Eligibility

A yearly determination of eligibility and financial need is required for most forms of financial aid. To be considered for financial aid, a student must:

  1. be officially admitted to UTSA as a degree-seeking student
  2. file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
  3. meet deadlines set by the Office of Student Financial Aid and the Scholarship Office
  4. not be in default on any Title IV, HEA loan made for attendance at any institution
  5. not owe a refund on any Title IV, HEA grant received for attendance at any institution
  6. make Satisfactory Academic Progress (see below).

Further,

TEXAS Grant

The TEXAS (Towards Excellence, Access and Success) Grant program was implemented at UTSA during the 1999–2000 academic year. The purpose of the program is to provide grants to academically prepared, eligible undergraduate students to attend public and private nonprofit institutions of higher education in Texas. The priority in making awards is to provide continued funding to recipients already enrolled in the program who are in college and making progress toward their degrees. Because funding for awards to new students is limited, many students who meet the eligibility requirements will not be able to receive awards in the 2008–2009 academic year.

In order to apply and be eligible for the TEXAS Grant program a student must:

In order to renew or continue receiving the TEXAS Grant a student must:

Satisfactory Academic Progress

The Higher Education Amendment Act of 1965, as amended, mandates institutions of higher education to establish a minimum standard of “Satisfactory Academic Progress” for students receiving financial aid. UTSA makes its standard applicable to all federal, state, and institutional financial assistance programs for the purpose of maintaining a consistent policy for all students receiving financial aid.

To make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), students must meet all of the following standards:

  1. Academic Standards

    Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average minimum requirement as determined at the end of each Spring Semester for all credit hours attempted at UTSA: undergraduate freshmen (with fewer than 30 hours) must have a 1.8 cumulative grade point average at the end of the first academic year; undergraduate students with 30 hours or more must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average; and graduate students must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If the cumulative grade point average drops below the minimum requirement, the student will no longer be eligible for financial aid.


  2. Maximum Time Frames

    The number of semester credit hours a student attempts may not exceed 150 percent of the number of semester credit hours required for graduation in his or her program of study, as published in the University catalogs. For example, if the published number of semester credit hours required for graduation is 120, a student may not attempt more than 180 semester credit hours (120 x 1.5 = 180) and continue to receive financial aid. All periods of enrollment must be considered, even those for which the student did not receive financial aid as well as hours transferred from another school. If the number of attempted hours reaches 150 percent of the hours required for graduation, the student will no longer be eligible for financial aid.


    Attempted hours include all registered hours per semester whether or not the student earns a grade or receives credit. The following are considered hours attempted, but not completed:


    • “F” grades for undergraduate students
    • “D” or “F” grades for graduate students
    • “W” or withdrawal from courses.

    Completed hours include all semester hours for which the student earns a grade:


    • “A” through “D” grades for undergraduate students
    • “A” through “C” grades for graduate students
    • all transfer hours accepted for credit.
  3. Enrollment Status

    A student must successfully complete a minimum of 67 percent of all attempted coursework. The student will be reviewed at the end of each Spring Semester. If the number of completed hours drops below 67 percent of attempted hours, the student will no longer be eligible for financial aid.


    Examples:

    1. If a student attempts (registers for) 30 semester credit hours in an academic year, he or she must complete a minimum of 21 semester credit hours (67% x 30 = 20.10) in order to make SAP for the year.
    2. If a student attempts 36 semester credit hours, he or she must complete a minimum of 25 semester credit hours (67% x 36 = 24.12) in order to make SAP for the year. Note: All partial credit hours will be rounded up to the nearest hour.
    3. If at the end of the second year a student has attempted 60 semester credit hours, he or she must have completed a minimum of 41 semester credit hours (67% x 60 = 40.20) in order to make SAP for the year.

Review Policy

At the end of each academic year (Spring Semester) the Office of Student Financial Aid will review the progress of each financial aid recipient for SAP. Students will be reviewed to ensure that they are meeting the following criteria:

  1. cumulative grade point average of 1.8 (undergraduate freshmen) or
    cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher (undergraduate sophomore through senior) or
    cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (graduate students)
  2. successful completion of at least 67 percent of all attempted coursework for all periods of enrollment (cumulative), even those for which the student did not receive financial aid
  3. total attempted hours does not exceed 150 percent of the published length of the program of study.

Financial Aid Termination

In the event the student does not meet the requirements for SAP, he or she will be placed on Financial Aid Termination. This means that the student will not be eligible for any type of federal, state, or institutional aid until he or she returns to satisfactory academic progress.

Conditions for Reinstatement

Students whose eligibility for financial aid has been terminated may appeal the decision, in writing, to the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) if they believe that they had extenuating circumstances that led to their unsatisfactory progress. The OSFA will notify the student in writing of the decision.

To appeal for the reinstatement of financial aid eligibility, students must complete and submit a Termination Review Form. A completed form must include:

  1. A letter from the student documenting the extenuating circumstances (e.g., personal illness or medical problems, death in the family, etc.). This letter should provide a detailed explanation of the situation.
  2. If the student has exceeded the maximum time frame and is appealing based on a change of major, he or she should state the reason for the change and indicate the number of hours remaining to be taken in the new major. The student must also provide a statement from his or her academic advisor indicating the number of credit hours from the previous major that will apply to the new major.
  3. The student’s name, social security number and/or UTSA ID number, and email address.

Students who have been placed on Financial Aid Termination because they do not meet the grade point average or enrollment status requirements may do the following if they decide not to appeal, or if their appeal is not approved: (1) they may attend UTSA during a long semester or summer term without financial aid, or (2) apply for alternative loans to cover the balance. When they meet the SAP requirements again, their eligibility for aid will be reviewed for reinstatement.

TEACH FOR TEXAS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board administers a loan repayment program for teachers certified in fields in which there is a critical shortage of teachers who take jobs as classroom teachers in those fields in Texas, as well as a grant program to help teachers obtain certification in these fields. Details about this program are found in the Texas Education Code, Subchapter O, Sections 56.352–56.359, and additional information may be obtained by contacting the office of the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Student Success in the College of Education and Human Development or by visiting the Teach For Texas Loan Repayment Assistance Program Web site at www.hhloans.com/borrowers/TFTLRAPFactSheet.cfm.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS

The University of Texas at San Antonio offers academic and need-based scholarships for qualified first-time incoming freshmen, college transfers and currently enrolled UTSA students. Scholarship awards range from $500 up to $5,000, and some are renewable for up to eight semesters (four years). Applications for scholarships awarded through departments must be obtained from the respective department.

To be considered for scholarships awarded through the Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services Center, high school graduates must be admitted to UTSA by March 31, have SAT and/or ACT scores on file with the Office of Admissions and submit a General Scholarship application to be received (not postmarked) in the Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services Center by the February 15 deadline. Transfer students must be admitted to UTSA and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5. All students must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program, and, for a vast majority of scholarships, must attend as a full-time student. To be considered for specific General Scholarships, all students must indicate on the application the four-letter code(s) located above the name of the scholarship and attach the required essays, letters of recommendation and any other supporting documents. It is very important that students take time to read the instructions carefully before completing the application. Failure to follow instructions could result in the application not being processed. Most General Scholarships require applicants to demonstrate financial need in addition to other criteria; therefore, it is highly recommended that all students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The General Scholarship application applies only to scholarships awarded through the Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services Office and is not part of the scholarships offered through other UT System universities.

Departmental and Honors College scholarships have varying deadlines and require separate applications. Please review carefully the requirements for all scholarships and obtain applications from the appropriate department. Some scholarships apply to incoming freshmen and transfer students; others apply only to upperclassmen, while others may be appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students.

ORIENTATION AND TRANSITION SERVICES

The mission of Orientation and Transition Services (OTS) is to provide academic support services and programs for new students and their families during their first year at UTSA.

One of the primary functions of the department is to provide comprehensive orientation programs for new students and their family members. Orientation programs for all new students, called “Roadrunner Roundup,” are offered in December and January for the Spring Semester; in April and May for the Summer Semester; and in June, July, and August for the Fall Semester. All new freshmen (0 to 29 semester credit hours) are required to participate in orientation and will meet with an academic advisor and register for classes as part of the orientation program. Transfer students who are transferring 30 or more semester credit hours to UTSA are not required to participate in orientation but are strongly encouraged to do so. The program includes a campus tour, information about University services and resources, and the opportunity to meet new students, current students, faculty, and staff. OTS hosts “Rowdy Ties,” an orientation program for the family members of new students. This program introduces family members to UTSA’s campus resources, including academic programs, staff, and faculty. OTS also produces the Roadrunner Planner and Rowdy Ties Guidebook to assist new students and family members.

Since 1993, Orientation and Transition Services has held Roadrunner Camp, a two-day, one-night social and leadership development program for freshmen the week before Fall classes begin. Orientation and Transition Services also provides support services and programming for family members of new students, including UTSA Family Day, Family Weekend, Family Association, and a Family Newsletter.

UTSACard

The UTSACard is a photo identification and all-campus debit card. With a prepaid debit account (Rowdy Dollars), it can be used at various locations campus-wide. All UTSA students are required to obtain a current UTSACard with their student identification number. It is mandatory that the UTSACard is carried at all times while on University property. This card is required to access various UTSA facilities, including student computer laboratories, the Recreation Center, and Health Services. In order to have a UTSACard processed, present a driver’s license or military ID card. A $3 nonrefundable ID card fee is assessed each semester at the time of registration at UTSA. A $10 fee is charged for replacing an ID card when lost, stolen, or damaged through neglect. The card is valid as long as the student remains enrolled at UTSA. Students must apply for a card in person at the UTSACard Office on the first floor of the John Peace Library Building (JPL 1.01.18) at the 1604 Campus ((210) 458-4639), or in the Frio Street Building (FS 1.506) at the Downtown Campus ((210) 458-2965). For more information, visit the UTSACard Office Web site.

OFFICE OF STUDENT SERVICES

The Office of Student Services oversees several departments at UTSA’s 1604 and Downtown campuses. These offices include AlcoholEdu Program, Career Services, Counseling Services, Disability Services, Health Services, Campus Recreation, the Women’s Resource Center, and the Recovery Center.

AlcoholEdu Program

The AlcoholEdu Program is provided to educate students about the use and effects of alcohol. Each member of the first-year class is required to complete the online AlcoholEdu course. The course provides a detailed education about blood alcohol content level and its effects on the body and mind.

Career Services

Career Services provides comprehensive career planning, job search, and employment-related services to students and alumni.

Career planning services assist individuals in exploring career options compatible with their personal goals, interests, and abilities. All freshmen are highly encouraged to make use of this service sometime during their first year. Career-related assessment, counseling, and current job market information are available to students needing assistance in selecting a major, clarifying career goals, and confirming their current choice of major.

Employment-related services are designed to assist students in conducting a successful job search. Whether students are seeking part-time jobs to supplement their income, paid cooperative or internship experiences, or full-time jobs upon graduation, Career Services provides information on current openings through a variety of resources, including an online job bank.

As students progress in their college coursework, they are encouraged to consider paid internships and cooperative education. These are jobs that enable students to gain hands-on experience in their chosen field prior to graduation. Information about available internship/cooperative positions, job search workshops, résumé development, and career counseling is provided to students seeking these types of career-building opportunities. Students may also participate in on-campus interviews.

For seniors and master’s-level students nearing graduation, finding a full-time, entry-level career position is of paramount importance. Since many companies recruit during the Fall Semester for December, May, and summer graduates, students should contact the Career Services office two semesters before their planned graduation date to begin their search. Services include career counseling, access to on-campus interviews, résumé development, résumé-faxing services, and various job search workshops.

Job and Career Fairs are held during the year, bringing a large group of employers to campus. At these events, students are able to find out about available jobs, apply for positions, and learn more about employers themselves. All students are encouraged to attend.

Many of the office’s services can be accessed via the Web at http://www.utsa.edu/careerservices/. Visit this site for more information.

Counseling Services

Counseling Services provides confidential professional services by staff psychologists and professional counselors to help meet the personal and developmental needs of currently enrolled students. Counseling Services has offices at both the Downtown and 1604 campuses. All services are confidential and voluntary, and most are free to enrolled students.

The transitions and stresses of university life affect all students to a greater or lesser degree. Students coping with these challenging human issues may, at times, need the assistance of a qualified professional. The counseling process helps the student resolve personal concerns and acquire the skills, attitudes, knowledge, and abilities that will enable her or him to take full advantage of the college experience.

Services at the Counseling Center include individual therapy for personal and educational concerns, counseling for couples with relationship difficulties, and group therapy on topics such as understanding sexual orientation and women’s issues. Counseling Services also screens for possible learning disabilities.

The staff is committed to meeting the needs of UTSA students. To that end, they attempt to be as accommodating as possible in an atmosphere that is welcoming and accessible for all students. Counseling Services can be reached by calling (210) 458‑4140 (1604 Campus) or (210) 458-2930 (Downtown Campus).

UTSA Recovery Center

The UTSA Recovery Center offers professional alcohol and substance abuse recovery resources to the UTSA community. The Center provides treatment and/or referrals for alcohol and substance abuse disorders. The Center’s personnel also consult with and provide substance abuse education for University staff, faculty and administration in an effort to help support students during their recovery. 12-Step meetings are also available on campus. Additional services may be available during the course of the semester, including peer support group meetings and socials. For more information students can stop by the University Center, 2.01.04, visit the Web site, or call (210) 458-4140.

Students with Disabilities

UTSA does not discriminate on the basis of disability. Special assistance is provided to students with disabilities through Disability Services.

Disability Services

Disability Services (DS) coordinates support services and equipment to ensure equal access to all University programs and activities for students with disabilities. Some of the services and equipment available include registration assistance, note taking, test accommodation, TDD, motorized scooters, adaptive computers, CCTVs, and a Braille printer.

Eligible students should contact DS before the beginning of the semester to discuss their needs and make appropriate arrangements. A disability verification letter and an interview with the director begin the process for obtaining services.

Health Services

Services and Costs

The focus of Health Services is to provide first aid for injuries and limited medical and nursing care for minor illnesses. In cases of severe illness or a serious accident, the student will be transferred to a local hospital for treatment and the student will be responsible for the expenses incurred, including transportation. The student medical service fee allows free medical coverage for general use of the student clinic and for on-campus physician visits. There are reasonable charges for student clinic laboratory tests and medications.

Health Services emphasizes interdisciplinary health education, health promotion, prevention, wellness, and outreach programs to the student population and uses nonphysician and physician providers for primary health care. Health Services can be reached by calling (210) 458-4142 (1604 Campus, RWC 1.500) or (210) 458-2930 (Downtown Campus, BV 1.308).

HIV/HBV

UTSA recognizes that Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) are serious public health threats. UTSA’s policy on HIV and HBV infection, as well as educational pamphlets about methods of transmission and prevention of HIV and HBV infections, are available at Health Services.

Immunizations

The American College Health Association, the National Center for Disease Control, the Texas Department of Health, and The University of Texas at San Antonio recommend immunizations for the following diseases:

TETANUS – DIPHTHERIA vaccine – Initially, a series of three vaccines is administered within 10 years. People of all ages should have this vaccine.

MEASLES – MUMPS-RUBELLA vaccine – Students born after 1957 should have two doses of MMR vaccine administered on or after their first birthday, at least 30 days apart, and prior to beginning classes.

POLIOMYELITIS (A.K.A. Polio) vaccine – This vaccine is recommended for people under 18 years of age.

MENINGOCOCCAL DISEASE (bacterial meningitis) – The American College Health Association recommends that students receive immunization against meningococcal disease. While the disease is rare, it can be fatal. More importantly, most cases can be prevented. Fact sheets, as required by the Texas Education Code, discussing this disease are widely distributed to incoming freshmen, international students, and transfer students during the admission process, at orientation, and attached to health information forms. Return of the student signature section of the fact sheet to Health Services is required.

It is mandatory for students to return the Health History form prior to registration. Students should complete immunizations prior to their first semester of attendance. Check with Health Services or the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District for current costs. Students can provide immunization records to Health Services at the following address: The University of Texas at San Antonio, Health Services, One UTSA Circle, San Antonio, Texas 78249-0684, fax: (210) 458-4151.

Health Insurance

Student group health insurance is available to UTSA students and their dependents. Information and applications for the student health insurance can be found on the Internet at www.uhcsr.com.

International Students

Tuberculosis

International students are required by UTSA to have a tuberculosis (T.B.) skin test or chest x-ray performed and read within 90 days prior to registration. The results must be read by a physician or nurse licensed to practice in the United States. The T.B. test may be obtained from the Health Services clinic (1604 Campus, RWC 1.500) but must be completed prior to registering for classes.

Students who do not complete this test will not be allowed to register for classes. A student with positive results must have proof of appropriate follow-up and treatment and a confirmatory report submitted to Health Services.

Health Insurance

All international students holding nonimmigrant visa status are required, except under certain circumstances as outlined by The University of Texas Board of Regents, to purchase and maintain the UT System-approved comprehensive health insurance while enrolled at UTSA. All international students are automatically enrolled in the UT System Student Health Insurance Plan at the time of registration. The charge for the insurance coverage appears as a required fee on the student fee bill. The policy, recommended under the UT System Student Health Insurance Plan, offers $100,000 (U.S.) in major medical/hospitalization for each illness, accident, and injury, with a $300 deductible. Repatriation and medical evacuation benefits are also provided. Those international students classified as Texas residents for tuition purposes must still enroll in the UT System Health Insurance Plan.

It is necessary for students to have comprehensive health insurance to ensure that they have the best possible health care and to protect them from unexpected financial crises. The cost of health care in the United States is very expensive. If someone is in an automobile accident or becomes very ill and has to go to the doctor or hospital, it can cost thousands of (U.S.) dollars. To assist in diagnosing an illness, doctors often require laboratory tests. Medications are often also required and can be quite expensive. These medical expenses can cost a significant amount of money.

International students on nonimmigrant visas are not eligible to receive free medical care nor will the United States government pay the medical bills. Therefore, participation in the UT System Student Health Insurance Plan is required for all international students to protect them from huge financial burdens should they become seriously ill or involved in an accident.
