Scholarships
If you attend UTSA through CAP, you are not eligible to be considered for the Distinguished Presidential Scholarship. You may be eligible to receive General Scholarships. The deadline to apply for academic and need-based general scholarships is January 15, so CAP students who did not apply directly to UTSA by that deadline will be ineligible. UTSA colleges and departments, however, administer their own scholarship programs and therefore have separate applications with varying deadlines. Check with the college or department to determine which scholarships you may be eligible for and to obtain an application.
Housing
UTSA Housing and Residence Life operates Alvarez Hall, Chaparral Village, Chisholm Hall, Guadalupe Hall and Laurel Village. University Oaks Apartments are also available on campus, although they are managed by a private third-party company.
Testing
CAP students are required to meet TSI requirements in order to register at any state, public institution. Rowdy Ready will state: “complete” on all sections regarding TSI if your TSI testing obligations are met. If all TSI sections are not listed as met, either more records are needed or retesting is required to attempt to meet these sections.
