Withdraw from the University
If you no longer want to be enrolled in any classes for the semester, you can withdraw by submitting the form. Learn more about this process on our withdraw page.
Independent Study and Other Courses Requiring Special Approval
You may not register for Independent Study courses in myUTSA Account. You must obtain an Independent Study Course Form online, in the department office offering the course, or from One Stop. Complete the form, obtain the authorizations, and take the form to One Stop during your designated registration time.
To register for courses that require special approval, contact the advisor or department office authorizing enrollment in the course. In most cases, you can register for the class via myUTSA Account once authorization has been obtained.
Auditing Courses

- Approval of the course instructor and the Chair of the Department in which the course is offered is required. Participation of an auditor in class is at the discretion of the instructor.
- Auditors are allowed on a space available basis after all students registering for credit have been accommodated.
- Review the Audit Checklist for detailed audit information.
Finish@UT
The Finish@UT is a student’s gateway to online degrees and courses from the participating University of Texas System institutions. The majority of the programs listed in the UTOC Website and offered by UT institutions can be completed entirely online. Any exceptions will be noted on the program information pages. Some programs can lead to a degree, endorsement or certificate conferred by the participating institution, while others are a grouping of courses. Online courses follow a semester-based schedule.
Information on courses and programs can be found on the Online Consortium Website.
Students must be admitted to one of the UT System institutions in order to enroll in the Online Consortium courses. Students should also check with their academic advisors to ensure that enrollments in Consortium courses will satisfy their degree requirements.
