Roadrunner Roadmap 2020-2021

To protect the health of the entire Roadrunner community, UTSA’s Public Health Task Force strongly encourages all individuals—regardless of vaccination status—to wear a mask and maintain physical distancing while on our campuses. While masks are encouraged, they are not required. Modalities for summer courses remain unchanged and as published, with the majority taking place online. Modalities for fall 2021 courses also remain as published with a mix of in-person, hybrid and online offerings. The Public Health Task Force expects to release guidance for fall semester campus operations later this summer. See the latest version of the Public Health Task Force Report for additional guidance.

The fall 2021 semester will feature more in-person learning experiences for students. Our Public Health Task Force has made new recommendations for a safe return to campus this fall after considering the latest public health information.

The task force is hosting a town hall on Friday, May 14 to invite community dialogue, questions and feedback.

The University’s OneStop website has been updated with answers to your most Frequently Asked Questions regarding class modalities for the upcoming Fall semester.

Due to increases in vaccination rates across the U.S. and Texas, along with amended safety guidelines from the CDC, UTSA has revised protocols for students participating in May’s on campus, in-person ceremonies. Each graduate will be allowed to bring up to two guests to the ceremonies.

UTSA's summer term will run just like the spring, with course modalities and campus operations primarily online, and research activities continuing as they are currently. As always, plans are subject to change based on current public health conditions.

The Rowdy Store Downtown will close temporarily, from March 22 to August 9. During the closure, course materials for spring and summer classes held at the Downtown Campus will be available at the Main Campus Rowdy Campus Store or online.

UTSA strongly discourages students from hosting or attending parties or other social gatherings (on or off-campus) during the pandemic. This includes fraternity or sorority organization, student organization, or other personal gatherings. Faculty and staff are encouraged to conduct meetings and run events virtually.

No need to wait in line! Current UTSA students, staff and faculty members can now get their UTSACard online and receive their card by mail in 5-7 business days.

UTSA anticipates adding 2 on-campus living communities for fall 2021: Guadalupe Hall and Chisholm Hall. Guadalupe Hall is designated as the new home for the Honors Residential Community and is slated to be complete and open by the fall while Chisholm is now operated by UTSA.

UTSA has a protocol in place for students who may need to self-isolate or quarantine due to a diagnosis or exposure to COVID-19. Meals will be provided in-room for those who are in isolation/quarantine.

Public areas such as community kitchens and common area restrooms have occupancy limits, are being cleaned at least twice per day and are stocked with hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. Pools and sports courts are closed.

The center is ready to provide services to UTSA students, faculty, and staff.
