The next step to becoming a Future Roadrunner is to sign up for Orientation. Orientation is offered for the fall, spring, and summer semester and it is required for all incoming freshmen and transfer students. Orientation gives students the opportunity to learn how to register for classes, learn about UTSA’s student support services and much more. Now that Orientation is taking place online for Summer 2020 and Fall 2020, we know that it can get confusing to sign up and complete Orientation, but here are some FAQs to help you navigate the process.
