Headers and Footers

The vast majority of UTSA official websites are required to use one of the university’s global headers and footers. Global headers and footers are designed to ensure that the university’s brand identity is consistent and that UTSA’s sites contain required elements. While all global headers and footers have the same look and feel, there are variations available based on the site's primary audience and position within UTSA's site architecture.
