Where do I begin? / I don't know where to go or what to do?
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.
The session I wanted to attend is full-now what? OR I missed my session?
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.
