If a student lacks a mobile device, please notify us in advance and provide a roster for a manual registration. The roster must include each student’s full name, email, phone number, entry type (FR/TR), entry term (Fall, Spring, Summer), and academic interest for manual registration.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate groups exceeding 80 participants for our guided tours. If your group exceeds this limit, we offer a Self-Guided Tour option as an alternative. For more details on arranging a self-guided experience, please email us at welcome.center@utsa.edu.  

Note: Groups larger than 80 students require an additional tour guide to ensure a comfortable experience, as each guide is assigned a maximum of 40 guests. 

If your desired tour slot is full, please call us at 210-458-5145 to join the waitlist. Alternatively, if this is your only available visit date, we can provide information for a self-guided tour. Simply email us at welcome.center@utsa.edu to receive a brochure detailing key tour stops and QR codes for building information, offering a similar experience to a guided tour.
