Roadrunner Preview (previously UTSA Day) is our largest open house event, designed to give you an in-depth look at what it means to be a Roadrunner. You can explore campus through guided tours, academic showcases, student life experiences, and conversations with faculty, staff, and students. Create your own schedule and experience UT San Antonio at your own pace.

Large groups are welcome at Roadrunner Preview, but advance registration is required to ensure a smooth experience. Registering allows us to provide parking, drop-off, and pick-up details, along with key event information for chaperones.

To register, determine the number of students attending and keep a roster. Then, email [email protected] at least two weeks before the event to complete registration.

Free event parking for Roadrunner Preview is available in any unmarked surface lot or spaces marked Employee A or B in Brackenridge Lot 1 or 2 (BK 1 or BK 2). If full, additional parking is available in Ximenes Avenue Lot. Do not park in spaces marked “Reserved” or designated for “Resident” parking. Hourly parking is also available in the Ximenes Avenue Garage at a rate of $2.50/hour. Parking options for those who have an ADA placard/license plate, but no UT San Antonio parking permit, can park on any surface ADA parking space.

Check-in is open from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM inside the UT San Antonio Campus Recreation and Wellness Center. Have your QR code from your confirmation or reminder emails ready for a quick check-in experience. An alternate check-in location is also available at the UT San Antonio Main Building.

Roadrunner Preview is a self-guided experience. Make the most of your Roadrunner Preview by reviewing the program schedule, once available, and planning your experience based on your academic interests, campus life, and next steps in enrollment.

• Download the Guidebook App to stay up to date with live updates, important announcements, and event details throughout the day.
• Watch the Maximize Your Roadrunner Preview video guide included on this page for tips on navigating the schedule effectively.
• Have a debit or credit card on hand as UT San Antonio is a cashless campus. Therefore, many of our campus services (parking garages, dining, etc) are only payable by debit or credit card.

Yes! Many university departments have representatives available to visit with you during Roadrunner Preview. If you need to discuss admissions, financial aid, or enrollment services, the One Stop Enrollment Center (One Stop) will be open. Military affiliated students can also visit the Center for Military Affiliated Students (CMAS). Both are located in the John Peace Library Building (1st Floor).

During Roadrunner Preview, Housing & Residence Life and Campus Living Villages offer free housing tours with shuttles to Chisholm Hall, Chaparral Village, Guadalupe Hall, and University Oaks. To join a tour, you must attend a Housing Information Session to receive your shuttle ticket. Shuttles pick up and drop off at the Student Union (1st Floor, near the Fiesta Dancers) and run every 40-45 minutes. The last shuttle departs at 2:00 PM, so plan accordingly.

If you need documentation for a school or work absence, stop by any of our orange Info Stations indicated with an “i” symbol on the program schedule to receive a Roadrunner Preview excuse letter confirming your participation. Please note that this letter only verifies attendance for the day of the event and does not provide documentation for any dates before or after Roadrunner Preview.
