New Student Orientation Payment
When you sign up for New Student Orientation, you will be asked to pay your non-refundable New Student Orientation fee by credit card in order to confirm your New Student Orientation. Once registration is complete, a confirmation page will appear indicating your confirmed reservation and your non-refundable payment information.
Fee Deferrals (Pay Later)
There is no waiver for the New Student Orientation fee. Students who meet certain financial criteria will have the option to defer the orientation fee at the time of sign-up.
If you are unable to defer at sign-up and have extenuating circumstances, you can submit a request to defer the orientation fee by emailing the office directly at orientation@utsa.edu. Please allow 3-5 business days for us to review your request. Decisions will be emailed directly to your myUTSA email account.
Please remember, the New Student Orientation fee is non-refundable, even if you decide not to enroll at UTSA. If you deferred the fee to your tuition account, the fee will become an outstanding balance and will have to be paid by the stated payment deadline for the semester you intended to enroll.
