There are several ways departments and colleges communicate with students which include emails, social media, and flyers around campus. UTSA also has two regular emails sent to students throughout the semester.

• Campus Link is a weekly email sent to all currently enrolled students on Sunday evenings.

• Resident Report is an email sent every other week on Wednesdays to all students living within UTSA Housing or Campus Living Villages.

Both emails highlight events, opportunities for involvement, and services offered to students throughout the year. Many of which we also share with families in the Family Association Newsletter. Encourage your student to check their email and learn about upcoming events!

 

Support systems for UTSA students play a vital role in the students’ success on campus. Whether individuals have a preconceived notion of the fraternity and sorority experience or no opinion at all, it is important for families to have insight into the fraternity and sorority experience, especially the community at UTSA. Fraternities and sororities are value-centered organizations striving for academic excellence, giving back to the community through philanthropic efforts and community service, and developing fellowship among members.

• Take the time to learn more about the Fraternity/Sorority community at UTSA and the national organizations.
• Ask questions about what the organizations will offer your student to encourage them to make the best decision when joining.
• Discuss the financial obligations with your student. Determine who will pay for what and the limits those expenses may include. Joining a fraternity or sorority is a lifetime commitment, both personally and financially.
• Encourage your student to get involved in all aspects of campus; especially leadership opportunities offered.
• Know the names of the fraternity/sorority president, new member educator, big brother/big sister and the organization advisor.

Above all, be supportive! If you ever have questions, please reach out to the Fraternity/Sorority Life office at FSLife@utsa.edu.

Parking Permits
A valid parking permit is required to park on UTSA campuses. A wide variety of permits are available to suit your Roadrunner’s needs and budget, including surface, garage, garage reserved and evening-only permits. Order online through MyParking. Permits are mailed within five to seven days, and a printable temporary permit is available for immediate use until it arrives. Roadrunners can pay at the time of purchase or add the cost to their tuition and fees.

The Runner
The Runner, UTSA’s transit system, provides service to and from on-campus parking lots and select nearby apartment complexes. Service is funded by the transportation fee paid by students each semester. Riding The Runner is a great way for students who live near campus, or those who commute and arrive during peak times, to catch a ride to the heart of campus.

While you’re preparing your Roadrunner for the fall semester, we encourage you to check out our online parking and transportation guide. It has helpful tips for parking and getting around campus, whether they commute, attend remotely, live on campus or live nearby. Also, be sure to review our color-coded parking maps to explore parking options based on permit type.
