Students should apply for admission as transfer students if they have previously completed any credit courses at the college level after high school graduation. Applicants may be attending another accredited college or university at the time of their application to UTSA.

Students are not at liberty to disregard previous college work attempted. All students transferring to UTSA must list all colleges attended on their UTSA application for admission. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the application, withdrawal of any offer of acceptance, cancellation of enrollment, permanent dismissal from UTSA, or other appropriate disciplinary action.
This program is designed to help students attending certain community colleges graduate from UTSA without losing credit in the transfer. Students must meet the general admission requirements set forth in this catalog as well as any additional specific admission requirements of the various degree programs.
UTSA has established 2+2 transfer programs with San Antonio College, Palo Alto College, St. Philips College, Southwest Texas Junior College, Del Mar College, the Victoria College, Laredo Community College, Coastal Bend Community College, Austin Community College, and Northwest Vista College.
Students completing the first two years of a recommended plan of study that appears in the 2+2 brochures for one of the above colleges may complete the remaining years at UTSA and earn a bachelor's degree in their respective discipline from UTSA.
Texas residents may apply for admission to UTSA under the Academic Fresh Start statute (Texas Education Code, 51.931). Under this program, academic course credits or grades earned 10 or more years before the semester for which the student seeks enrollment are not considered for admission purposes. Applicants seeking admission under the Academic Fresh Start statute must inform the Office of Admissions and Registrar in writing of their intent by submitting an Academic Fresh Start form, available in the Office of Admissions and Registrar, at the time of application.
Students admitted under this program will not receive any credit for courses taken 10 or more years before enrollment. Students with 3 or more semester credit hours awarded before the Fall 1989 semester are exempt from the Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) regardless of any election of Academic Fresh Start. Students who plan to pursue graduate degrees should note that if their baccalaureate degree was earned under the Academic Fresh Start statute,only the grade-point average of the coursework that applied to the baccalaureate degree as stated under the Academic Fresh Start restrictions will be evaluated. However, other standard evaluation criteria for graduate study will apply.
