Advising 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.

Get 24/7 access to journals, e-books, streaming media, and more. Live chat with librarians for help.

Learn how to find your subject librarian, use the live chat, and how to start quick searching with this Library 101 guide.
