Time Management

Our 100% online courses are offered in different lengths:

  • Fall and Spring Terms: 16-week courses and 8-week courses

When planning what courses you will be taking each term, consider the time you would need to dedicate to study and complete your classwork. Here’s what we suggest:

infographic explaining that if your courses are 8-weeks long, you will need to dedicate 6 hours per week to work on each course. And if you're taking courses that last 16 weeks, then you would need to dedicate 3 hours per week to work on each course.

Additional Guidance and Support

Your new student orientation will help acclimate you to the online learning environment at UTSA, provide you an overview of the services you’ll receive from your academic advisors, and inform you about important things to know about your major. All new students must complete this orientation prior to registering for classes.

At the end of the orientation, you’ll be given the ability to make an appointment with your academic advisor.

After you’ve been admitted to UTSA Online, you can sign up for Orientation through your myUTSA Account by clicking on the “Future Roadrunner” tab.
