Advising and Support

Your new student orientation will help acclimate you to the online learning environment at UT San Antonio, 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 UT San Antonio Online, you can sign up for Orientation through your myUTSA Account by clicking on the “Future Roadrunner” tab.

If you’re a current UT San Antonio student looking to pursue a 100% online degree plan (i.e. change campuses), you will need to complete the Curriculum Change Form. If you are already registered for in-person classes, you must drop those courses before switching to an online degree plan.

How to submit the form: 

To begin the process, please complete and submit the Curriculum Change Form. Our enrollment counselors will then review the form. The next steps include: 

• A phone call from one of our Enrollment Counselors to verify you are able to transition to online
• If approved, your form will be processed as an Online Programs Major 
• You will then need to complete our Online Program Orientation (free of charge)
• You’ll schedule a meeting with an Online Academic Advisor 
• You’ll register for our 100% online classes and begin your new journey!

Criteria and deadline to change from UT San Antonio in-person to UT San Antonio Online:  

• Must be an active student at UT San Antonio 
• Must be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or higher)  
• Must meet the deadline 

The deadline is 14 business days prior to the start of term. 

Restrictions: 

• Students cannot be enrolled in both campuses (i.e. in-person and 100% online) at the same time. For example, students enrolled in a 100% online degree program cannot take a course offered by the in-person campus, even if it is an internet-based course.  

• Students cannot complete a Campus Change (move from the in-person campus to a 100% online program) if they have exceeded 75 hours in their current major without prior approval. The student would need to submit a 75-hour petition and receive approval before processing can take place. Students will work with their assigned advisor to complete this process.
