“Hail UTSA”
From our hills of oak and cedar
To the Alamo,
Voices raised will echo
As, in song, our praises flow.
Hail Alma Mater!
Through the years our loyalty will grow.
The University of Texas at San Antonio.
The roadrunner, a bird representative of the
Texas Hill Country and the Southwest,
was voted the UTSA mascot in 1977.
Official colors of The University of Texas System
are orange and white. Upon recommendation from
the UTSA Student Representative Assembly, the
Board of Regents approved the addition of blue to
the orange and white for UTSA’s school colors.
The provisions of this document do not constitute a contract, expressed or implied, between any applicant, student, or faculty member and The University of Texas at San Antonio or The University of Texas System. This document is a general information publication, and it does not contain all regulations that relate to students.
The University of Texas at San Antonio reserves the right to withdraw courses at any time and to change fees, tuition, rules, calendar, curriculum, degree programs, degree requirements, graduation procedures, and any other requirement affecting students. The policies, regulations, and procedures stated in this bulletin are subject to change without prior notice, and changes become effective whenever the appropriate authorities so determine and may apply to both prospective students and those already enrolled. University policies are required to be consistent with policies adopted by the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System and are in compliance with state and federal laws.
STUDENTS ARE HELD INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MEETING ALL REQUIREMENTS AS DETERMINED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM. FAILURE TO READ AND COMPLY WITH POLICIES, REGULATIONS, AND PROCEDURES WILL NOT EXEMPT A STUDENT FROM WHATEVER PENALTIES HE OR SHE MAY INCUR.
No person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity sponsored or conducted by The University of Texas System or any of its component institutions on any basis prohibited by applicable law, including, but not limited to, race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, veteran status, or disability.

University publications: UTSA Information Bulletin gives important information about academic policies and procedures that applies to all students, regardless of the catalog under which they are seeking their degree. It includes residence requirements, policies on grades and the grade point average, credit by examination, adding and dropping courses and withdrawal from the University, and scholastic probation and dismissal. This publication also gives historical and current information about the University’s organization and physical facilities.
The UTSA Undergraduate Catalog and the UTSA Graduate Catalog provide information about degrees offered by the colleges, degree requirements for all majors, courses offered in the departments, and the faculty in each area.
Academic advising: UTSA views sound academic advising as a significant responsibility in educating its students. Students are encouraged to seek academic advising to ensure that they complete degree requirements in an appropriate and timely manner. The partnership established with an academic advisor will assist a student with learning about their options, degree requirements, academic policies and procedures, and appropriate University resources. This supportive, helpful relationship will enable students to plan and pursue programs that support their interests and educational goals.
Two centers provide academic advising for new and transfer freshmen (under 30 semester credit hours accepted by UTSA). With the exception of Honors freshmen, all freshmen who have not decided upon a major or have provisional status are advised through the Tomás Rivera Center. Freshmen who have decided upon a major are advised through the Colleges’ Freshman Advising Center.
Honors freshmen are advised through the Honors College. Scholarship athletes are dually advised through the center of their major and the athletic advisor.
Beyond the freshman year (30 earned semester credit hours and more), declared majors are advised through the advising center of the college of their major. Undecided students continue with the Tomás Rivera Center until a major is decided. On the UTSA Downtown Campus, freshmen through seniors with declared majors should contact the Downtown Undergraduate Advising Center.
