Pay Application Fee

Undergraduate Applicants

The undergraduate application fee is a $70 non-refundable fee. You can pay your fee when applying or after you submit your application through the myUTSA Admissions portal. After we receive your application, you will get an email from UTSA to activate your myUTSA Account which will allow you to log in to your myUTSA Admissions portal. Once logged in, find your application under “My Admission Applications.” Click on the orange “Pay Application Fee” button. Select your payment method and follow the instructions. Please note fee waivers are not available for non-degree seeking applicants.

Graduate Applicants

The graduate application fee is $50 for domestic applicants and $90 for international applicants. This is a non-refundable fee. Applicants may apply simultaneously to more than one graduate program; a fee for each application will be required. Please note there are no fee waivers at the graduate level.

Submit Transcripts

Undergraduate Applicants

Non-degree seeking applicants must request transcripts from which the last 30 undergraduate hours were attempted. These should match the same colleges you listed on the admission application. Please note each institution will have its own transcript request process.

Faxed, scanned or photocopied transcripts will not be accepted or acknowledged. All transcripts must be received by the UTSA Office of Undergraduate Admissions by the application deadline (not postmarked). You can check your admission checklist when you receive your myUTSA ID to see what items we require to complete your admission file.

Electronic Transcripts

UTSA prefers transcripts to be received electronically through SPEEDE. Electronic Parchment, E-Script PDF, and Naviance transcripts can be sent to apply@utsa.edu from the electronic delivery service or institution. Please note emails with transcripts received directly from students will not be accepted.

Transfer applicants who must also meet freshman requirements will be required to have their final high school transcript sent to UTSA. UTSA can receive electronic high school transcripts sent via TREx and Naviance via Parchment delivery.

Sealed Paper Transcripts

If your institution prefers mailing transcripts, seal copies of your official transcript can be mailed to:
The University of Texas at San Antonio
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
One UTSA Circle, San Antonio, TX 78249

Graduate Applicants

From the Graduate Admissions Application platform, upload official transcripts from all post-secondary colleges or universities you have previously attended or are presently attending. The number of identified institutions must match the number of transcripts uploaded. Failure to include all colleges/universities on your application may result in your application not being processed. Please note once submitted, all documents become the property of UTSA and will not be returned.

Unofficial Transcripts

Applicants can submit unofficial to complete your Graduate Admissions Application; however, once a decision is rendered, all official documentation can be sent to graduate.documents@utsa.edu.

Proof of Degree

A degree must be obtained from an accredited college/university in the United States or equivalent training at a foreign institution. If you are currently attending a university, a final official transcript must be submitted upon completion of coursework. If you have completed your degree, the award of degree must be noted on the transcript.

Evaluation of Foreign Credentials

Any applicants, including non-U.S. citizens (International), U.S. Citizens, and permanent residents, who have earned university-level credit from foreign institutions are required to submit transcripts along with a mandatory evaluation of the transcripts from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). An approved evaluation requires a detailed course-by-course evaluation. Summaries will not be accepted. Please note the following:

• Submit the ECE course-by-course evaluation only (you are not required to upload unofficial foreign transcripts into the application if you have the FCSA evaluation) or submit both the ECE course-by-course evaluation and their unofficial foreign transcripts into the application if they are all included in ONE document (you cannot submit an evaluation and transcripts in two different uploads)
• Foreign credential evaluations must be received by the application deadline for your application to be processed.
• Foreign Credential Services of America in Austin, TX is the only accepted evaluation agency. They can be reached at (512) 459-8429, email, or online.
• WES Evaluations are not a UTSA-approved agency and will not be accepted.

Foreign Transcripts

International transcripts must be recorded in English or officially translated to English. Transcripts in the original language must accompany all translated documents.

UTSA Students and Alumni

UTSA students and alumni do not need to submit official UTSA transcripts. However, UTSA students should upload an unofficial UTSA transcript to the application to complete the application for initial review. For instructions on viewing or downloading an unofficial UTSA transcript, please visit unofficial transcripts.
