Yes, large groups are welcome to attend UTSA Day! To participate in UTSA Day, each group will need to register their group in advance. For more information, please email our team at welcome.center@utsa.edu.  This will allow every student to receive a UTSA Swag Bag at check-in.

To register follow these two simple steps:

1. Identify the number of students that will participate in UTSA Day
2. Email our office at welcome.center@utsa.edu at least one week prior to the event date to complete the registration process

The best way to begin your day is by reviewing the UTSA Day program and identifying activities you would like to participate in based on your academic major, interests, or even activities that help you with the next steps to enroll at UTSA. Some of these activities include housing tours, signing up for orientation, or speaking with a One Stop Enrollment or Financial Aid counselor.

For example, if my major or interest is Business Management- I would opt to sit in on the Alvarez College of Business info session, visit their browsing fair, take a tour of housing and/or a general tour of campus. Next, I could sign up to meet with a financial aid counselor to help me understand my financial aid or scholarships or visit the browsing fair in the Sombrilla Plaza to learn more about academic and student services. In addition, I could also stop by to chat with a roadrunner or learn more about how to get involved on campus by speaking to a current Roadrunner located at the Paseo. Located in the Student Union Ski Lounge your family can also attend our family engagement lounge where your family can learn more about joining our UTSA Family Association.

Your next destination will depend on what you would like to experience and learn more about during our UTSA Day event.

If a particular session is full- no worries! Many of our information sessions are offered at least 2-3 times throughout our UTSA Day program. There is plenty to do every hour- depending on your next interest feel free to check out that activity and come back at the next available time frame.

Still worried you can’t attend this session? OR Missed the session you wanted to learn more about?

Don’t worry our UTSA campus partners have recorded each info session and will be available for you to review post the event. Be sure to check out the UTSA guidebook application for more information.

During check in, offered at two different locations – the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center and the UTSA Main Building, each student was provided a swag bag with a t-shirt and other signature UTSA swag items. Our team strives to offer each student their specific t-shirt size while supplies last.

If you did not get your t-shirt please refer to your program to assist you in finding our check in locations at the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center and the UTSA Main Building.
