Frequently Asked Questions
Am I considered a transfer student?
You are considered a transfer student if you graduated with a high school diploma or a GED and enrolled at and earned credits from a community college or university after high school.
High school students who completed Dual Credit in high school but have not attended a college or university are not considered Transfer Students, but may still apply to UTSA Online as a Freshman.
What is a WIP?
A WIP stands for “Work in Progress” transcript. This means your transcript reflects that you are currently enrolled in classes at the time that you submitted your application. It is perfectly fine for you to be enrolled in classes at the time that you apply, too! We will be aware of your enrollment and there is not a penalty for applying with WIPs.
Where can I begin my application?
You can submit your application either through the UTSA Online website, GoApplyTexas, or the CommonApp.
Please note that GoApplyTexas is utilizing a new website, so if you used it previously, you may need to create new account.
How many credits do I need before transfer?
You can find out which credits will transfer to UTSA using our transfer credit calculator.
Pro tip: have your most up to date transcript with you while you use the calculator, you will need to reference course numbers etc.
What if I need further assistance with transfer credits?
If you need further assistance and/or if the transfer credit calculator does not provide sufficient information, please reach out to our Transfer and Transition Student Success Office, or contact the UTSA Online Enrollment Team at onlineenrollment@utsa.edu or 210-458-4000.
What if my application states “incomplete”?
