Class Registration
Wondering if there’s anything that stands between you and that perfect class with your closest friends and that professor you learn so much from? Make sure you’re eligible for class registration before it’s time to register or view the below guidelines for late registration.
Current Registration Terms
These terms are either currently open for registration, or will soon be open. Learn more about each one’s specific registration dates, waitlisting, how check holds and more!
Registration Eligibility
Registration usually opens a couple of months before the semester begins and your registration date is determined by your student classification. You will register for your courses on your myUTSA Account. Before registration opens, it is best to review your Registration Status, take care of any registration holds, and start planning your schedule.
How to View Your Registration Status
We want to make sure you are ready to go once registration opens up for you. Your Registration Status will let you know if you are all set to register or if you have anything you need to take care that would prevent registration.
- On your myUTSA Account Modern View, click on the Main Menu (top left) and select “Student Services”
- Under the Menu: Registration & Records card, click on App Student Profile button
- At the top in the dark strip, you can view your registration status by clicking on Registration Notices
How to Check Your Holds
There are various registration holds that can prevent you from registering. You should check your holds regularly to ensure you are eligible to register for the upcoming semester. Have a hold? Don’t worry. We encourage you to work with the respective office to resolve any holds so you can register.

Common Registration Holds
Below are some common holds that prevent registration. We encourage you to resolve any registration holds quickly so you can register on time and to secure the schedule you want. You can view all holds on your myUTSA Account.
Admission Hold
Students who have an admission hold often have it due to missing official transcripts (final high school or college/university transcripts). Your myUTSA Account will provide more information on the type of outstanding document(s), so you can turn it in as quickly as possible to One Stop.
Orientation Hold
All first-time undergraduate students (freshmen, freshmen-transfers, and transfers) must complete orientation before they can register. You can sign up for orientation on your myUTSA Account. Once you have completed orientation, the hold will be removed. For more information, visit https://future.utsa.edu/orientation.
Probation or Dismissal Hold
Students who have been academically dismissed and reinstated on probation must speak with an academic advisor. Please reach out to them to take care of your hold so you can register for classes next semester. Find out more information about your hold on your myUTSA Account.
Advising Hold
In order to stay on track with your degree, you will need to occasionally meet with an academic advisor. If you have an advising hold, you are required to speak with your Academic Advisor. Please reach out to them to take care of your hold so you can register for classes next semester. Find out more information about your hold on your myUTSA Account.
Graduate School Hold
This hold is typically placed when a Graduate student is missing official documentation. Please log into your myUTSA Account to review your hold and confirm what document needs to be submitted. You can send official electronic transcripts and E-Scripts to: graduate.documents@utsa.edu. Transcripts must come directly from the institution in order to be considered official.
Health Services Hold
There could be various reasons why you have a health services hold. If you are an incoming student, it could be related to the meningitis vaccination. You can log into your myUTSA Account to see what is needed to resolve your health services hold. If you have any questions, contact Health Services at 210-458-4142.
Financial Hold
This hold is typically placed when you have an outstanding balance with UTSA. You can make a payment on your myUTSA Account or contact Fiscal Services at 210-458-8000 (Option 2) for questions.
International Hold
If you have a registration hold related to being an international student, please log into your myUTSA Account to view your hold and complete what is needed. If you have an “International Programs” hold, please contact them at 210-458-7202.
Parking Hold
Students who have a parking and transportation hold typically have an outstanding balance because of parking fines. You can log into your myUTSA Account to view your hold and make payment arrangements with Campus Services at 210-458-4639.
Student Conduct Hold
If you have a student conduct hold, please contact Student Conduct and Community Standards at 210-458-4720 to resolve your hold.
TSI Hold
You have a Texas Success Initiative (TSI) hold on your account that prevents you from registering. If you need assistance with test score retrievals, developmental course registration, or TSI advising, contact TSI Programs at 210-458-4498 or email TexasSuccessInitiative@utsa.edu. If you need to schedule your TSI assessment, you can do this online through your myUTSA Account. You will first need to complete the Pre-Assessment Activity (PPA). If you have questions about taking the TSI exam, you can contact Testing Services at 210-458-4125 or email testinfo@utsa.edu.
Other Holds
If you do not see one of your holds listed, we would encourage you to contact the department that placed the hold on your account for more information. You can also contact a One Stop counselor so they can assist you.
Schedule Planner
UTSA offers a schedule planner to help you build the best schedule possible as it considers your needs. You can customize it to include your course preferences and block off time you have set aside for work or extra-curricular activities. We highly recommend using the schedule planner to create a personalized class schedule just for you!
Important Registration Information
- Please be aware that if you register for classes and are subsequently found to be ineligible due to prior academic performance, you will be withdrawn.
- UTSA does not guarantee the availability of courses or sections and admission is permitted only until the maximum number of students has been reached. UTSA reserves the right to cancel any course or section if there aren’t enough students registered to warrant its continuation.
- Undergraduates seeking to register for or to add a graduate course must obtain the special approvals specified in the undergraduate section. Find more information can be found in Student Polices.
- You may not register at both the undergraduate and graduate levels at the same time. If you have been admitted at the graduate level but previously registered as an undergraduate for this semester, you must cancel the undergraduate registration before registering at the higher level. Contact the Graduate School at 210-458-4330 for assistance.
Late Registration
Late registration permits students who have been admitted to UTSA to register for classes during an allotted time just prior to and at the beginning of the semester as indicated in the online registration calendar each semester. Since many courses will have been closed at capacity, late registrants may need to select their courses from a reduced schedule. Students are not permitted to register after the close of the late registration period, except in extenuating circumstances. See the section “Adding Courses After Online Registration is Closed.”
Adding Courses After Online Registration is Closed
If you add a course after the Online Registration period, then you’ll need the approval of both the course instructor and the chair of the department offering the course. A late registration form may be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. After the Census Date, students may not add courses except in extremely rare and extenuating circumstances as approved by the dean of the college offering the course and by the Dean of University College for undergraduate courses.
