r/UTSA

If you bought the “Toolkit” or “Backpack”, you got scammed and the professor was just let go about a month ago. He was charging $115 for the kits and was profiting for what he bought them for. Each kit probably cost $20 if you bought everything online yourself. Robert Lucio was the professors name and students were paying to his cashapp. Pretty sure UTSA is just sweeping it under the rug since he was probably making thousands of dollars from college students.

The lions in front of Denny’s Den/The Tech Store? Gay.

For more context, they’re Chinese Guardians Lions. Traditionally, the male lions like the ones on campus hold a ball under their paw whereas female lions have a cub. Yes, they’re depicted as a couple and represent the cycle of life (more info in link). While I doubt this was the intention, I am nonetheless happy to witness the rainbow agenda in action lol. This may have been pointed out before, but either way that’s your fact of the day.

I really really need a job next semester (Fall 2026) as I plan to transfer and live on campus. I currently am a Student Worker at my institution's advising office and am wondering if I could find something similar at UTSA. Thanks and Birds Up!

in my sculpture class I haven't gotten a single grade, nor has anyone else in my class. It just is N/A on the gradebook. I loved this class and he clearly was grading stuff but since it's getting down to the wire, what happens if he doesn't input grades? Would everyone automatically fail or what?

I would like to find out what people make of the new "modern" interface for myUTSA.
FTR - I am old (Gen X) and neurodivergent (ADHD) and I have only just had to interact with this new abomination today.
I dunno whether it is age or neurodivergence or possibly that I am faculty and it is clearly student oriented - but I am curious to hear about what others think of it.

If you have managed to avoid this new view - well done - I had to essentially force my browser to take me to the new version - and now I regret it (not that I have a choice - submitting grades for research students made it necessary)

Okay so I'm a senior graduating this winter 2026. I only have one in-person class two days a week in Fall 2026 since for my major I have to do a internship in my last semester.

The class is too early for a twilight parking permit. I've been paying for a commuter pass consistently for the past few years but kinda don't want to buy another one for one semester when I'm only going on campus two days a week. It's a upper division class so there are literally no other scheduling options available otherwise I would've done something online or later.

What are some nice free off-campus parking options where my car won't get towed? I don't mind walking a bit but I don't want to park at La cantera cause crossing the traffic there seems kinda risky. I also have a bike which I don't mind using.

i don't have a very good understanding of cybersecurity or what exactly happened so please bear with me if this is a silly question

I saw some email saying it’s operational but I’m unsure if we are actually good to use it now.

im a first gen in my family and my cap and gown just arrived after a month and a half. do u think i could still take grad pics after graduation or will the campus be “closed”?

Does anybody know the gate code for campus edge apartments ,they said the “don’t have one” but I don’t believe it. Tired of having to come down and open the gate for ppl with my key.

I want to go to grad school because I graduate this semester, but I’m not sure how I would pay for it. I don’t wanna do loans.
I only how of assistantships, scholarships, and paying out of pocket.
Also I’m not sure, I’ve used fafsa for all 4 years and I’ve been told by two different people that I can still apply and that I can’t use fafsa anymore because I’m about to get my bachelors.

Does anyone know which is correct and if there’s any other way I can pay for grad school?
I plan on contacting fiscal/financial services, but just want some other input too

UTSA sent out a message saying all assignments due between Thursday and Sunday are extended and due this Thursday. My online WRC 1203 professor hasn’t said a peep about it even though there was an essay due on Saturday. I got caught up working long shifts this weekend and it slipped my mind to ask her if the paper was now due Thursday. I’m planning on emailing her today, but I wanted to know if the school is strictly imposing these new deadlines on professors/students, or if professors have the free will to say it was due the original day they set. Thanks!

so i might just me dumb or something but im kinda confused on the procedure for graduation!

i am in the 10 am ceremony. what time do i have to arrive, whats the parking situation, for people coming to my graduation do they park in the same place / how much does it cost? is is open seating, do i need to stay the whole graduation and do most people normally do? when i get there like what do i do?

sorry if im just dumb but just asking!

I’m graduating at the 2nd ceremony on Saturday, will they be handing out the regalia for summa cum laude at the Alamodome?
