The Alma Mater

“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 Mascot

Texas Hill Country and the Southwest,
was voted the UTSA mascot in 1977.

The School Colors

Official colors of The University of Texas System
are orange and white. Upon recommendation from

University publications: The UTSA Undergraduate Catalog provides information about degrees offered by the undergraduate departments and lists the faculty. The chapter for each college describes the degree requirements for all majors offered by the college and lists the college’s undergraduate courses. UTSA Information gives important information about academic policies and procedures that apply to all students, regardless of the catalog under which they are seeking their degree. It includes the official academic calendar, admission procedures, and residence requirements. The bulletin contains policies on grades and the grade point average, credit by examination, and scholastic probation and dismissal. This publication also gives historical and current information about the University’s organization and physical facilities.

Advising: UTSA views sound academic advising as a significant responsibility in educating its students. Students are encouraged to seek academic advising prior to selecting a specific major to ensure that they complete degree requirements in an appropriate and timely manner. Prospective students can seek information about UTSA academic programs from UTSA’s Visitor Center or the colleges in which the degree programs are located. Two centers provide academic advising for new and transfer freshmen (under 30 semester credit hours accepted by UTSA). Honors freshmen are advised by the Honors College, and the freshmen in Learning Communities are advised by the Learning Communities. With the exception of Honors freshmen who are advised by the Honors College, all freshmen who have not decided upon a major or have provisional status are advised through the Tomás Rivera Center for Student Success. All other freshmen who have decided upon a major are advised through The Colleges’ Freshman Advising Center. Sophomore, junior and senior students with college majors are advised on the 1604 Campus in the college advising centers. On the UTSA Downtown Campus freshmen through seniors with declared majors should contact the Colleges’ Downtown Advising Center.
