The Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) is a tool that allows applicants to self-report their courses, grades, class rank, and other academic information.
UTSA requires first-time freshman applicants to submit a Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) instead of an official sixth-semester high school transcript.
- The SRAR allows applicants to complete their application to UTSA quickly. Because you no longer have to request for your high school to send a transcript at the time of application, this eliminates the time it takes for your high school to send transcripts and for UTSA to receive and process the document.
- The SRAR can be linked to other colleges/Universities utilizing this system, eliminating duplication of effort.
- Applicants will only need to request for an official transcript to be sent to UTSA once, if accepted, after high school graduation and by August 15.
SRAR Freshman Requirement
All freshman applicants, with the exception of those noted below must complete a SRAR.
In most cases, this requirement replaces the sixth-semester High School Transcripts used by the Office of Admission during the initial admission review process. Once UTSA has received your application, you will be able to access your SRAR link through your myUTSA Admissions portal. Once logged in, you will find your application under “My Admission Applications” section. There you’ll be able to review your admissions status. If you click on the orange “Review Details & Checklist” at the bottom of the tile, you will see your incomplete SRAR requirement.
Accuracy is Critical: Since UTSA will be using the information from the SRAR to make an admission decision, accuracy is critical. We highly recommend that you have a copy of your high school transcript available to use as a reference when you create your SRAR. Before getting started, please ensure you can access an accurate source for your courses and grades (e.g., from your online grade report or unofficial transcript). For accurate grade representation, be prepared to enter all official final grades, course attempts, repeats, and withdrawals exactly as they appear; do not apply weight to your grades, convert your grades into another format, or average any grades. UTSA will compare the applicant’s SRAR and final high school transcript once the applicant has been accepted to UTSA and discrepancies can affect your original admission decision or financial aid offer.
SRAR Exceptions
The following freshman applicants will not complete a SRAR and are required to submit a high school transcript or other corresponding documentation:
- International freshman applicants must submit official transcripts documenting all secondary school records and/or examination results. All academic records not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
- Domestic freshman applicants not completing high school in the US must submit official transcripts documenting all secondary school records and/or examination results. All academic records not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
- GED graduates must submit their official GED transcript.
- Freshman applicants who have already graduated high school must submit an official final high school transcript.

The SRAR website uses a database of names from College Board, which may vary slightly from the everyday name of your school. When searching for your school, try to use variants of the official school name. For example, if you attended Robert E. Lee High School, enter “Lee” in the search box. Make sure you select the correct city and state. If you still can’t find your high school, you may click here in the prompt ‘If your school is not listed, click here’ to contact support for assistance.
