FAQs
Where can I find a list of jobs at UTSA?
Visit UTSA Careers to view current job openings at UTSA.
What is the time frame to fill a position?
Timelines vary with each position. Hiring can take a few months, and in some cases, longer.
How do I find out the status of my application?
Log in to UTSA Careers and click on Job Applications to view your application status.
What does "preferred qualifications” in the job posting mean?
All positions require specific education, experience and skills. To meet the requirements for the position, applicants must have these required qualifications. Preferred qualifications are skills or experience that go above and beyond the required qualifications. They are not required for consideration, but are qualifications that the hiring manager may prefer an applicant possess. Applicants with preferred qualifications may be considered more qualified than an applicant who does not possess them.
My online application was referred to the hiring manager, but I still have not been contacted. Is there further action needed on my behalf?
No further action is needed. Being referred to the hiring manager may not result in a candidate being interviewed. The hiring manager reviews all candidates and determines the most qualified candidates to interview based on the application, resume and any required supporting documents.
Who do I contact if I am having issues creating a profile on the UTSA Careers website?
If you are having issues creating a profile, email Talent Acquisition and use the following subject line: Profile Assistance Requested. Add an explanation of the issues you are having.

Your username and password may contain any combination of characters, including letters, numbers and special characters.
Can I still apply for a position that was posted during previous weeks, but is not posted now?

In addition to the online application, what other documents are required?
