By this legislation directing that The University of Texas at San Antonio offer "courses leading to such customary degrees as are offered at leading American universities," the legislature of the State of Texas established a new public institution of higher learning that would serve both undergraduate (lower and upper·division) and graduate students. The legislation further stipulated that The University be "one of the first class." In May, 1970, the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System accepted a gift of approximately 600 acres of wooded land located sixteen miles northwest of the center of San Antonio to serve as the permanent campus for The University of Texas at San Antonio. Shortly thereafter administrative and planning offices were es· tablished in the former Maison Blanche building on the grounds of the HemisFair Plaza. By the end of 1970, a master conceptual plan for the permanent campus was approved by the Board of Regents, and by June, 1971, final plans and speCifications for the first seven permanent buildings of the campus were completed. After completion of the site improvement work, construction contracts were awarded in May, 1972, calling for a completion date of May, 1974, subsequently revised because of construction delays. In January, 1972, temporary classrooms and offices were acquired in northwest San Antonio in the Koger Executive Center at the intersection of loop 410 and Babcock Road. Graduate students enrolled for the first time at the Koger site in June, 1973. These facilities were occupied by The University until buildings on the new campus became available. Upper-division junior and senior students were accepted on the permanent campus in September, 1975; and lower-division students were registered in June, 1976. In the Spring of 1972, the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System and the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System, approved the academic organization and degree programs recommended for the new university. These degree programs, additional degree programs subsequently approved, as well as addi· tional changes in UT San Antonio's organizational structure are described in the institutional catalogs. UTSA grew rapidly in its early years from 671 graduate students in June of 1973 to 9453 undergraduate and graduate students in September of 1979. The University had awarded 3888 degrees at the end of August 1979. The second phase of campus construction was initiated in Summer 1977. This phase consisted of a classroom and office building; an addition to the Arts Building, including a sculpture and ceramics studio building; ten outdoor championship tennis courts; and an outdoor mUlti-purpose playing field with 400 meter running track. The Student Representative Assembly had its constitution approved by the Board of Regents on October 1, 1976, and the first slate of officers was elected on November 22, 1976. The Alumni Association was chartered in Fall, 1977. PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY The major purpose of The University of Texas at San Antonio is to respond, in a climate of intellectual freedom and with academic programs of the highest quality, to the educational needs of the multicultural community of metropolitan San Antonio and the GENERAL INFORMATION 125 South Texas region, the State of Texas, the nation, and the international community. The University is committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship and to flexibility in academic programs and instructional approaches, as it seeks to guide individual students toward achievement of their maximum potential. Through programs of a multidisciplinary character, UT San Antonio strives to eliminate the isolation of disciplines and to reflect the integrated nature of societal issues and problems. The University is committed to cooperation with all institutions of higher education in San Antonio arid the surrounding region and is a member of the Higher Education Council of San Antonio. UT San Antonio also cooperates with the San Antonio community to improve accessibility to library resources; to provide in· ternships with local professions and businesses; to offer continuing education institutes, seminars, and special activities; and to utilize local. non-university personnel with special talents and abilities to enrich classroom instruction. To serve the metropolitan area of Bexar County, The University offers courses and programs on offcampus locations in the urban area where a need is demonstrated. provided their academic quality can be maintained in the off-campus location. The mission of The University of Texas at San Antonio is to provide intellectual. cultural, and economic opportunities to its multiple constituencies. ORGANIZATION The University of Texas at San Antonio is a component institution of The University of Texas System. Governance of The University is vested in the nine-member Board of Regents of The University of Texas System whose members are appointed biennially by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate. for six-year staggered terms. The Board of Regents delegates administrative authority to the Chancellor of The University of Texas System. The administrative authority of each component institution. such as The University of Texas at San Antonio. is in turn delegated to the President of that component. The President at UT San Antonio is assisted by a staff including a Vice President for Academic Affairs, and a Vice President for Business Affairs. The Vice President for Academic Affairs provides the President with advice and counsel on academic matters and acts as a liaison between the President's Office and faculty committees concerned with academic matters. The Vice President for Academic Affairs chairs the Deans' Council. With approval of the Board of Regents of a non-traditional administrative structure for graduate education at UT San Antonio. the administrative functions that ordinarily are the responsibility of a Graduate Dean are carried out by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. As the administrative officer responsible for graduate education, this officer chairs the Council on Graduate Education. The Vice President for Business Affairs provides the President with advice and counsel on fiscal affairs and has direct responsibility for the business operation of The University including operation of the physicai plant. This officer is responsible for budget preparation and analysis. Operational administration of the graduate and undergraduate programs of The University is the responsibility of the Deans of the five Colleges. The Deans report to the Vice PreSident for Academic Affairs. They provide leadership in program. faculty, and staff development. Instructional programs within the Colleges are organized by DiVisions, headed by Division Directors, who have responsibility under the Dean for the operation of their Divisions. Division Directors also are expected to provide leadership in faculty and staff development and in academic program development. 261 GENERAL INFORMATION Continuing Education activities of The University are located in the Division of Continuing Education. The Division is administered by a Dean who reports directly to the President and who is responsible for developing and operating all continuing education activities. The Division develops, promotes, coordinates, evaluates, and provides financial and logistical support for conferences, institutes, short courses, workshops, seminars, and special training programs. The Division has no permanently assigned faculty. Instructors for the various activities are selected from one or more of the five Colleges within The University of Texas at San Antonio, or from institutions or organizations outside The University. ACCREDITATION The University of Texas at San Antonio was granted full accreditation at the graduate level by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in December 1974 and full accreditation at the undergraduate level in December 1976. Because accreditation applies retroactively within the year awarded, all UT San Antonio degrees have been awarded by an accredited institution. THE JOHN PEACE LIBRARY The John Peace Library of The University of Texas at San Antonio, named in 1974 in honor of the late former Chairman of The University of Texas System Board of Regents, has undergone rapid development and expansion since 1972, when work began on the development of collections. As of Fall 1979, the collections of the library include 358,000 books and periodicals, either bound or in microform: 71,000 federal, state and local documents: and 128,000 volume equivalents in various microform collections. The library subscribes to approximately 2,200 periodicals and receives as a deSignated depository a wide variety of federal, state, and local documents. In addition, the library has extensive holdings in microform of governmental documents. and research reports. All materials have been selected to support the teaching and research needs of UT San Antonio. The UT San Antonio special collections and rare books focus on Western Americana and on Texana. Most notable among the special collections are the John Peace Collection of books and documents in the period of the Texas Republic and the Kathryn Stoner O'Connor Collection of early Texas and Mexican materials owned by the Sons of the Texas Republic, which are on permanent deposit in the Special Collections department. The public service staff includes professional librarians with subject specialities who offer reference and bibliographic assistance to students and faculty. On-line computer searching is available as is a full range of inter-library loan services. Circulations, acquisitions and cataloging procedures are highly automated. The library is a member of OCLC, a national cataloging network. It is also a member of the Council on Research and Academic Libraries (CORAL), a library network which has as its goal the developing and strengthening of information resources and services in the greater San Antonio area. The library building is designed to offer full services and convenience to students and faculty. The majority of books and periodicals are on open shelves for browsing and ease of access. In addition to the traditional library facilities, the John Peace Library also has full audio·visual capability, music listening facilities and a curriculum mate· rials center. Carrels, group study rooms, lounges, and faculty studies are conveniently located throughout the building to provide ideal study conditions. Coin-operated copy· ing equipment for paper and microform materials are available to library users.' 'A.dditional information on the John Peace library and on its borrowing regulations may De obtatned in the library GENERAL INFORMATION I 27 THE COMPUTER CENTER The Computer Center provides modern computational facilities for research and academic programs. An intermediate scale computer is available for student and faculty use. An IBM 370 model 148 is being utilized to support the academic computing requirements. THE LUTCHER CENTER The Lutcher Center is a conference facility of The University of Texas System. Responsibility for administration and supervision of the Lutcher Center is assigned to the President of The University of Texas at San Antonio. The Lutcher Center supports the administrative and developmental programs of The University of Texas System and its component institutions. It also provides space, facilities, and services for educational and public service programs of component units of The University of Texas System. The Center may also be used by other public and private educational institutions and by groups engaged in public service. THE CENTER FOR STUDIES IN BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES The Center for Studies in Business, Economics, and Human Resources is the research center of the College of Business. The major objective of the Center is to offer the opportunity for students and faculty of The University to have an adequate environment for problem solving and community-related research. While the Center is an integral part of the College of Business, it interacts with the faculty of the other Colleges to provide an interdisciplinary approach to research and business education. The focus of activity at the Center is on application of theories and research techniques to produce useful information for public and private decision making. Specialized data files are maintained on a continuing basis, while a research library and information systems guide interested users to sources of information. The knowledge and experience of The University's faculty are utilized to solve specific problems in the broad categories of management, finance, administration, planning, economic feasibility, production, economic impact, anti-trust laws and procedures, international trade, environmental protection, and manpower utilization. CENTER FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH The Center for Archaeological Research (in the Division of Social Sciences, College of Humanities and Social Sciences) was established in September, 1974. Among its objectives are: (1) to provide the opportunity for students to train in archaeology; (2) promoting archaeological research in the South and South Central Texas region; (3) carrying out archaeological surveys and assignments for federal and state agencies as required by legislation and executive orders; (4) aiding local agencies and citizens who need the services of trained archaeologists. The Center's staff includes a number of graduate and undergraduate students, who, along with other Center personnel, have conducted archaeological investigations in various parts of Texas, particularly in the South, Southwest, and Central sections of the state. Results of these investigations are published in more than 80 volumes in the Center's four publication series: Archaeological Survey Reports, Regional Studies, Special Reports, and Guidebooks in Archaeology. The Center was administered more than 160 contracts and grants to date, among which was a two-year study of the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Spanish mission complex at Guerrero, Mexico and a multi-year study at the Maya site of Colha, Belize, in Central America. The Center has also helped to organize and support regional archaeological surveys and 28 f GENERAL INFORMATION excavations and has participated in local, state, and international archaeological conferences. CENTER FOR APPLIED RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY The Center for Applied Research and Technology (CART) is the research center of the College of Sciences and Mathematics. The major goals of CART are to offer opportunities for expanded research in the applied sciences for faculty and graduate students, to provide an educational opportunity whereby individual skills can be developed to fill employers' needs for applied scientists, and to provide research-related services for the community at large. Although CART is a part of the College of Sciences and Mathematics, it interacts with the faculty of other Colleges and with the local research community through the Southwest Research Consortium. CART serves as a focal point for applied science research activities at The University by providing guidance and programs for contract and grant management and by furnishing analytical services and research support for faculty and students. Exceptional students have an opportunity to gain valuable work experience through CART's technical services and research programs. The CART staff includes faculty, research associates, students, and technical and support personnel. Emphasis is on interdisciplinary research in the earth, life, and physical sciences. Efforts have been concentrated in applied physics, biological, chemical, environmental, energy, and health-related studies. Specifically, research teams have been formed recently to conduct investigations in such diverse areas as" Health Effects Associated with the Application of Wastewater to Land," "Synthetic Studies Toward an Efficient Total Synthesis of Quinine," "Avian Activity Patterns and Population Density on and Adjacent to Proposed Sanitary Landfill Sites," "Atmosphere Explorer Data Analysis and Electrodynamics Explorer Instrument Development," "PLAID - Panel Layout Automated Interactive Device," and "Alternative Water Disinfection Schemes for Reduced Trihalomethane Formation." CENTER FOR LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH IN EDUCATION The Center for Learning and Development Research in Education, located in the College of Multidisciplinary Studies, is designed to stimulate basic and applied research in learning and development, particularly as it applies to the educational process. Faculty and students from this College, as well as faculty and students from other Colleges of The University, are encouraged to study problems appropriate to this area. The objectives of the Center include: promotion of research in learning and development in education; development of cooperative faculty-student research; cooperation with school districts, social service agencies, and community agencies on problems of mutual interest: and solicitation of funds for appropriate activities. The Center's role consists of identifying and coordinating faculty, student. and community interests, needs, and resources. Faculty members from the College and The University, with interest and training in learning and development in education, participate in projects related to the Center's activity. RESEARCH CENTER FOR THE ARTS The Research Center for the Arts was established in the College of Fine and Applied Arts on September 1,1977. The Center's activities encompass the visual and performing arts (studio art, architecture, and music), art and architectural history, and art criticism. A primary focus of the Center is on the latter disciplines with special reference to the study of the Iberian and Interamerican arts. These disciplines by their GENERAL INFORMATION I 29 scholarly nature form the nucleus of the Center's activities. The goals of the Center include providing assistance to faculty, students, and other persons interested in pursuing research and further studies, and making available general information on the arts of Spain, Portugal, and the Americas. The Center by so doing takes advantage of the strengths of the courses and programs of the College and The University. The Center fosters professional research in the visual and performing arts (studio art. architecture, and music) in general and in Iberian and Interamerican art historical research in particular. It provides the opportunities for faculty and students in the College to continue their own research and to serve the community of scholars within and outside The University.

TUITION, FEES, CHARGES, PENALTIES AND DEPOSITS 321 TUITION, FEES, CHARGES, PENALTIES AND DEPOSITS PAYMENT AND REFUND POLICIES All policies regarding the payment or refunding of tuition, fees, and charges, are approved by the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System and comply with applicable state statutes. If a person desires clarification of any matter relating to payment or refund of such charges, he or she should contact the office or administrative unit from which the charge or refund originated. PAYMENT Students are entitled to enter class or laboratory only after their tuition, fees, and deposits have been paid.' Payment may be made by personal check for the exact amount due, provided the bank transit number is encoded thereon in compliance with revised Federal Reserve Bank regulations. Checks for larger amounts, if the difference is to be paid in cash to the students, cannot be accepted. In paying by check, students should exercise care. A bad check, whether given by mistake or otherwise, unless it is the admitted error of the bank concerned, is likely to delay actual payment and thus result in a penalty as outlined in the section on Bad Check Charges. Personal checks may be cashed in the University Bookstore for an amount up to $20.00. It is recommended that students establish checking accounts in local San Antonio banks before enrolling in order that they can easily cash checks in the city. Many local merchants will not cash out-of-town checks. TUITION Pursuant to Subchapter B, Chapter 54, Texas Education Code, each student who registers at UT San Antonio is required to pay tuition2 according to the number of semester credit hours for which registration is completed and according to his/her residence classification, as set forth in the tables below: TUITION EACH SEMESTER RESIDENTS OF TEXAS NONRESIDENTS Number of Hours Taken3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00 'All tuition charges and lees are subject to change without notice.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS 50 I ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS ADMISSION Admission requirements for graduate study at UT San Antonio are designed so that students admilled will have a high probability of success in graduate level academic work. The criteria for the various classifications of admission to The University of Texas at San Antonio are set forth in the following paragraphs. ADMISSION AS A GRADUATE DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENT A graduate degree-seeking student is one admitted to a graduate degree program. Some graduate degree programs specify additional admission requirements. The applicant should refer to the specific degree descriptions for any admission requirements in addition to the university-wide requirements listed here. Unconditional Admission Every Master's degree program at The University of Texas at San Antonio is based on the assumption that the students participating in it already possess a general college education to the baccalaureate degree level. In order to be eligible for unconditional admission to UT San Antonio as a degree-seeking student at the graduate level, an applicant must (1) hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States or have proof of equivalent training at a foreign institution; (2) have a "8" average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) in the last 60 semester hours, or the equivalent, of course work for the baccalaureate degree as well as in aU graduate level work previously taken: (3) have completed a minimum of 18 semester hours (12 of which must be upper-division) in the area in which the graduate degree is sought; (4) be accepted into the degree program;' (5) be in good standing at the last institution attended; and (6) submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test (GRE) or. for those applying for the Master of Business Administration program, scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). These scores will be used as one element in the evaluation of applicants. Information on the GRE and GMAT and applications for the tests may be obtained from the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The institution code for The University of Texas at San Antonio is6919-5 for the GRE and 6919 for the GMAT. Conditional Admission. An applicant desiring to work toward a graduate degree in an area in which his or her previous preparation is insufficient to permit unconditional admission may be admitted conditionally to the graduate degree program with the stipulation that course work or other study as determined by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies. the Division Director. and the Dean, will be undertaken to remove defiCiencies and that such make-up work will be in addition to the regular degree requirements_ Any conditions placed on the student's admission are stated in the admission notice. An individual seeking admission as a graduate degree-seeking student whose grade-point average is less than that specified for unconditional admission may be admitted conditionally to a graduate degree program upon the recommendation of the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies, the Division Director, and the Dean, who will assign conditions regarding the number of semester hou rs to be taken and the minimum grade-point average to be maintained before unconditional status may be attained. In no case may the grade-point average condition be lower than that required for a student to remain in The University as a graduate (degreeseeking. or special) student. (See the section on Academic Standing.) The student is expected to remove conditions by the end of the first full semester of enrollment If 'An Individual review of the applicant's background is made by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies. the Division Director. and the Dean fOI theprogramlowhich admission is being sough!. A committee may be appointed to examine a student in his or her previous preparation before an application to eoter the program is approved. No student ,s admitted in the absence 01 a favorable recommendation by the appropriate Committee on Graduale Stud,es. the Oi"ision Director of the program, and the Oean ot the College. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS / 51 they are not met, the student may be barred from continuation in the graduate program. An applicant who fails to meet the requirements for unconditional admission and is admitted on a conditional basis may be admitted on academic probation. If an applicant is not eligible for either unconditional or conditional admission, the applicant is denied admission as a graduate degree-seeking student. The appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies, the Division Director, and the Dean may recommend the applicant's admission or denial of admission as a Special Graduate Student (see below). Note: For Teacher Certification a student must obtain admission as either a graduate degree-seeking student or a special graduate student (or in certain cases as a transient student). See page 59 for details. ADMISSION AS A SPECIAL STUDENT AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL A special student at the graduate level is one admitted to The University for the purpose of enrolling in graduate and/or undergraduate courses without entering a degree or certification program_ All academic requirements of this catalog apply to special students. An applicant who does not elect to enter a graduate-level degree program may seek permiSSion to register as a special student in one or more of the Colleges. To be eligible for admission as a special student at the graduate level, an applicant must: (1) be in good standing at the last institution attended; (2) possess at least a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university or an equivalent degree from a foreign institution; and (3) have grade-point averages of 3.0 or higher (on a 4_0 scale) in the last 30 hours of academic course work prior to receipt of the highest degree and 3.0 or higher in all academic course work since the degree. An applicant who does not meet the above requirements may be recommended for admission as a special student at the graduate level by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies, the Division Director, and the Dean(s) of the College(s) in which courses will be taken. In the latter case, admission may be on academic probation. Special students at the graduate level are eligible to take any graduate or undergraduate courses for which they have the necessary prerequisites, provided space is available and they have the approval of the course instructor(s). Students holding bachelor's degrees who are admitted as special undergraduate students may enroll in undergraduate courses only. If they wish to take courses at the graduate level, they must apply and be admitted as special graduate students. Credit earned as a speCial student may be applied toward a Master's degree only when the credits earned for these courses have been evaluated and approved for this purpose by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies, the Division Director, and the Dean of the College offering the degree program. The approval of the Director, Office of Teacher Certification and Placement is required before credit earned as a special student can be applied to a graduate-level teacher certification program. To continue in The University as a special student in a subsequent term, the student must meet the standards required to remain in The University as indicated in the section on Academic Standing. ADMISSION AS A TRANSIENT STUDENT AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL An applicant who wishes to enroll, normally for one session only, without pursuing a degree at The University of Texas at San Antonio should apply for admission as a transient student. In order to qualify as a transient student at the graduate level, the applicant must hold at least a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university and be in good standing at the last Institution attended. 521 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Transient students may register for any courses for which they have the necessary prerequisites, the approval of the course lnstructor(s), and in which space is available. A student registered in this capacity normally cannot register for a subsequent term unless he or she has been admitted as a degree-seeking or special student. ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS The following admission requirements apply to all applicants for admission who are not citizens of the United States or whose previous education has been outside the United States. All applicants for admission as international students must: 1. Meet the graduate admission requirements for degree-seeking students. Applicants who will be on a student visa may not be admitted other than as degreeseeking or transient students. (An 1-20 form is not issued to transient students.) 2. Submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or successfully complete an intensive course in English from an accredited college or university in the United States. Students needing to take this test should write to the Educational Testing Service, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, requesting information on taking the TOEFL. The code for The University of Texas at San Antonio is 6919. A minimum score of 550 on the TOEFL is required. Subsequent English tests and preparation may be required by a student's advisor if more work in English is necessary, TOEFL scores are not required for international students from countries where English is the primary language of instruction and the language spoken in the home by the indigenous population. nor are TOEFL scores required for non-citizens of the United States graduating from United States high schools, colleges, or universities with at least a high school diploma or a baccalaureate or higher degree. 3. Submit a statement guaranteeing the student's ability to pay all expenses while a student at The University. if attendance under the F-1 (student) visa is anticipated. The statement may be sent from a parent or guardian when endorsed by a bank or other reliable institution, or from a United States citizen who will accept responsibility for the student's financial needs. The above admission criteria serve as guidelines for admission for international students. The credentials of each applicant are examined on an individual basis by the appropriate Committee on Graduate Studies, the Division Director, and the Dean responsible for the projected degree program with admission granted only to those who show promise of success in graduate study at The University of Texas at San Antonio. TEMPORARY ADMISSION Graduates of U.S. or foreign institutions whose previous preparation cannot be evaluated adequately by admission deadlines may be granted temporary admission on academic probation. Such admission may be granted for one term only upon the favorable recommendations of the Dean(s) of the College(s) in which courses will be taken and the Vice President for AcademiC Affairs, If the student fails to be granted admission as a d!'!gree-seeking. special. or transient student, under the procedures set forth, the student is withdrawn for failure to meet admission requirements and is not allowed to register until admission requirements are met Temporary admission is permitted only in rare cases. Credit earned while under temporary admission may be applied toward a Master's degree and/or teacher certification program only after the student has been granted admission as a degree-seeking student or as a special graduate student and only when the credits earned for the courses have been approved by the appropriate ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS 153 Committee on Graduate Studies, the Division Director, and the Dean of the College offering the degree program. The additional approval of the Director, Office of Teacher Certification and Placement is required before credit earned as a temporarily admitted student can be applied to a graduate certification program. ADMISSION PROCEDURES FOR TEACHER CERTIFICA"nON OR FOR CERTIFICATE ENDORSEMENTS AT THE GRADUA"rE LEVEL Applicants who desire to work on teacher certification requirements and who hold a Bachelor's degree should apply for admission to the Division of Education in one of the categories described above - graduate degree-seeking student, special graduate student (not special undergraduate student), or transient student (if the work will not span more than one semester). When unconditional or conditional admission has been granted, the student should apply to the Office of Teacher Certification, for an analysis of his transcripts and for an official outline of a program that will insure meeting the requirements to obtain a teacher's certificate or a certificate endorsement. In some cases it may be possible to meet certification requirements within a degree program; in other cases the student may need to take additional work for the certificate beyond that required for the Master's degree. The student's Program Advisor and the Office of Teacher Certification will assist the student in planning an appropriate program of study. Recommendations for teacher certification (to the Texas Education Agency) are made by the Office of Teacher Certification only after all requirements have been met and the student has officially requested such recommendation. A brochure summarizing Education Certificate and Endorsement Requirements is available from the Office of Teacher Certification in the Division of Education. APPLICATION DATES Students applying for admission as degree-seeking, special, or transient students may apply for admission as early as nine months before the beginning of the term in which they wish to begin graduate study. Application forms and instructions are available from the Admissions Office. The completed application form and all required supporting documents must be on file with the Admissions Office by August 1 for the Fall Semester, December 1 for the Spring Semester, and May 1 for the Summer Sessions. Failu re to comply with the application dates may cause deferment of admission until a subsequent term. ADMISSION PROCEDURES The procedures to be followed in applying for admission are explained on the Application for Admission form. Each applicant for admission is individually responsible for ensuring that all required support documents (e.g., application form, test results, required transcripts, etc.) are on file in the Admissions Office, since admission is not considered until the applicant's file is complete. Students who apply for admission to The University of Texas at San Antonio for any term and do not register, must re-apply for admission if they wish to enroll at a later date. A subsequent application for admission must be in accordance with current admission requirements. New transcripts, test scores, and all other supporting documents are required since files for applicants who do not register are not retained. DECLARATION OF PREVIOUS COLLEGE WORK ATIEMPTED Students are not at liberty to disregard previous college work attempted. All students transferring to The University of Texas at San Antonio must list all colleges attended 54 (ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS on their UT San Antonio application for admission. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action against the student, including the possibility of permanent dismissal. RE-ADMISSION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Former UT San Antonio students who have not been in attendance for one or more long semesters (Fall or Spring) must file an application for readmission. All former students returning to UT San Antonio who have attended other institutions of higher education since they were last enrolled must submit an official transcript from each such institution. Eligibility for re-admission for any former student depends on academic status at the conclusion of the student's last UT San Antonio enrollment and any subsequent college or university work attempted. VI. GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 561 GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS REGISTRATION All students who attend classes at The University of Texas at San Antonio must be registered officially or must be approved as auditors. Registration instructions are included in the Schedule of Classes published for each term. Questions regarding registration should be directed to the Registrar's Office. The University does not guarantee the availability of particular courses or sections, and admission to classes is permitted only until the maximum number of students allowable in any section has been reached. The University reserves the right to cancel any course or section in which the number of registrants does not warrant its continuation. LATE REGISTRATION Late registration permits students to register during the first week of classes in a regular semester or during the first two class days of a summer term. Students who register late are charged an additional $5.00 the first day of late registration and an additional $2.50 per day thereafter with the maximum amount being $15.00 for any one term. This fee is non-refundable. Instructions for late registration are available at the Registrar's Office. Students are not permitted to register after the close of late registration. Those students who register late are responsible for completing any work missed in the courses for which they enroll during the time the course was in session prior to their being registered. It may be necessary for late registrants to select courses in which to enroll from a reduced schedule since many courses will have been closed at their capacities. ADDING COURSES After registration, but during the first week of classes in a semester, or the first two class days in a summer term, a student may add a course only with the approval of the course instructor, the student's advisor. and the Director of the Division in Which the course is offered. A special or transient student should seek approval of the course instructor and Dean of the College in which the course is offered. A certification student [or "a student seeking certification only"] should seek approval of the course instructor and the Dirvctor, Office ofTeacher Certification and Placement After the first week of classes and through the twelfth class day of any semester, or on the third or fourth class day of any summer term, the additional approval of the Dean of the College in which the course is offered is required. A special or transient student and a certification student [or "a student seeking certification only"] should seek the additional approval of the Dean of the College in which the course is offered. After the twelfth class day of any semester or after the fourth class day of any summer term, students may not add a course except for extremely rare and extenuating circumstances as approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The University Calendar indicates the deadline dates for adding courses. DROPPING COURSES Courses officially dropped during the add/drop period (the first week of a semester or the first two days of a summer term) do not appear on the student's transcript A student who drops courses after the addldrop period and through the first six weeks of a semester or through the first ten days of a summer term may drop courses and receive an automatic grade of "W." The student is responsible for filing the change with the Registrar's Office so that the action becomes official. GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS /57 If a student finds it necessary to drop a course after the first six weeks of classes in a semester or after the tenth class day in a summer session, it is his/her responsibility to initiate and complete procedures for obtaining an approved withdrawal from the course. The forms for this purpose are available in the Registrar's Office. A student who officially drops a course after the first six weeks of classes in a regular semester or after the tenth class day in a summer session must take the form to his/her instructor who will enter on it a grade of "W" if the student is passing the course at the time of withdrawal or a grade of" F" if he/she is failing the course at the time of withdrawal. In order for the action to be official, the student must file the approved form with the Registrar's Office. Students may not drop individual courses or withdraw later than the last day of the week preceding final examinations. The University Calendar indicates the deadline dates for students to drop courses each term. If a student ceases to attend class, the instructor must notify the Registrar's Office of the date on which attendance ceased. The instructor may drop a student from the class for non-attendance when approved by the Dean of the College in which the course is offered. If the student is dropped by the instructor during the first six weeks of a semester or during the first ten days of a summer term, the student will receive a grade of "W." From the beginning of the seventh week of a semester and the eleventh day of a summer term, the instructor shall assign a grade of "W" if the student was passing at the time of the withdrawal or a grade of "F" if the student was failing at the time of the withdrawal. AUDITING OF COURSES UT San Antonio students and non-students who wish to audit a course may do so with the approval of the instructor and the Dean of the College in which the course is offered, providing there is space in the classroom after all registered students have been accommodated. A course must achieve its minimum size without auditors. Auditing entities a student to listen and observe. Participation of an auditor in class is at the discretion of the instructor. No UT San Antonio credit is granted for courses that are audited. All auditors must submit the Request for Audit Form to the Registrar. A UT San Antonio student pays an auditing fee of $5.00 per course and auditors who are not registered UT San Antonio students must pay an auditing fee of $25.00 per course. Non-student auditors who wish library privileges may receive them by paying a non·student library deposit (Limited Borrower's Deposit) of $15.00 at the John Peace Library. Persons over 65 are permitted to audit without paying an auditing fee, if space is available. Permission to audit may not be obtained and fees paid until the late registration period. No official record is made of enrollment in classes on an audit basis. VERIFICATION OF ENROLLMENT Following the add/drop period of each semester or summer term, a verification report is sent to each student indicating the schedule of classes in which he/she is officially enrolled. Any discrepancies between the courses shown on the notice and the courses the student is attending should be resolved immediately by the student in person with the Registrar's Office. ACADEMIC STANDING A student's academic standing, whether the student is degree-seeking, certificate only, special or transient, is defined as: good standing, academic probation, academic dismissal. 58/ GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Good standing is the absence of any contingency that would result in the student's being on academic probation or academic dismissal. Academic probation describes the standing of a student at the graduate level who is in one of the following categories: 1) a student who fails to achieve a grade-point average in any term at UT San Antonio of 3.00 or higher, irrespective of level of courses taken; 2) a student who receives a grade of "D" or "F" in any course in a term; 3) a student who does not meet all requirements for unconditional or regular admission and who, by special action, is admitted on academic probation; 4) a student who has been reinstated following academic dismissal. Academic probation is cleared only when none of the above criteria apply and when the student achieves an overall grade-point average of 3.0

By this legislation directing that The University of Texas at San Antonio offer "courses leading to such customary degrees as are offered at leading American universities," the legislature of the State of Texas established a new public institution of higher learning that would serve both undergraduate (lower and upper·division) and graduate students. The legislation further stipulated that The University be "one of the first class." In May, 1970, the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System accepted a gift of approximately 600 acres of wooded land located sixteen miles northwest of the center of San Antonio to serve as the permanent campus for The University of Texas at San Antonio. Shortly thereafter administrative and planning offices were es· tablished in the former Maison Blanche building on the grounds of the HemisFair Plaza. By the end of 1970, a master conceptual plan for the permanent campus was approved by the Board of Regents, and by June, 1971, final plans and speCifications for the first seven permanent buildings of the campus were completed. After completion of the site improvement work, construction contracts were awarded in May, 1972, calling for a completion date of May, 1974, subsequently revised because of construction delays. In January, 1972, temporary classrooms and offices were acquired in northwest San Antonio in the Koger Executive Center at the intersection of loop 410 and Babcock Road. Graduate students enrolled for the first time at the Koger site in June, 1973. These facilities were occupied by The University until buildings on the new campus became available. Upper-division junior and senior students were accepted on the permanent campus in September, 1975; and lower-division students were registered in June, 1976. In the Spring of 1972, the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System and the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System, approved the academic organization and degree programs recommended for the new university. These degree programs, additional degree programs subsequently approved, as well as addi· tional changes in UT San Antonio's organizational structure are described in the institutional catalogs. UTSA grew rapidly in its early years from 671 graduate students in June of 1973 to 9453 undergraduate and graduate students in September of 1979. The University had awarded 3888 degrees at the end of August 1979. The second phase of campus construction was initiated in Summer 1977. This phase consisted of a classroom and office building; an addition to the Arts Building, including a sculpture and ceramics studio building; ten outdoor championship tennis courts; and an outdoor mUlti-purpose playing field with 400 meter running track. The Student Representative Assembly had its constitution approved by the Board of Regents on October 1, 1976, and the first slate of officers was elected on November 22, 1976. The Alumni Association was chartered in Fall, 1977. PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY The major purpose of The University of Texas at San Antonio is to respond, in a climate of intellectual freedom and with academic programs of the highest quality, to the educational needs of the multicultural community of metropolitan San Antonio and the GENERAL INFORMATION 125 South Texas region, the State of Texas, the nation, and the international community. The University is committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship and to flexibility in academic programs and instructional approaches, as it seeks to guide individual students toward achievement of their maximum potential. Through programs of a multidisciplinary character, UT San Antonio strives to eliminate the isolation of disciplines and to reflect the integrated nature of societal issues and problems. The University is committed to cooperation with all institutions of higher education in San Antonio arid the surrounding region and is a member of the Higher Education Council of San Antonio. UT San Antonio also cooperates with the San Antonio community to improve accessibility to library resources; to provide in· ternships with local professions and businesses; to offer continuing education institutes, seminars, and special activities; and to utilize local. non-university personnel with special talents and abilities to enrich classroom instruction. To serve the metropolitan area of Bexar County, The University offers courses and programs on offcampus locations in the urban area where a need is demonstrated. provided their academic quality can be maintained in the off-campus location. The mission of The University of Texas at San Antonio is to provide intellectual. cultural, and economic opportunities to its multiple constituencies. ORGANIZATION The University of Texas at San Antonio is a component institution of The University of Texas System. Governance of The University is vested in the nine-member Board of Regents of The University of Texas System whose members are appointed biennially by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate. for six-year staggered terms. The Board of Regents delegates administrative authority to the Chancellor of The University of Texas System. The administrative authority of each component institution. such as The University of Texas at San Antonio. is in turn delegated to the President of that component. The President at UT San Antonio is assisted by a staff including a Vice President for Academic Affairs, and a Vice President for Business Affairs. The Vice President for Academic Affairs provides the President with advice and counsel on academic matters and acts as a liaison between the President's Office and faculty committees concerned with academic matters. The Vice President for Academic Affairs chairs the Deans' Council. With approval of the Board of Regents of a non-traditional administrative structure for graduate education at UT San Antonio. the administrative functions that ordinarily are the responsibility of a Graduate Dean are carried out by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. As the administrative officer responsible for graduate education, this officer chairs the Council on Graduate Education. The Vice President for Business Affairs provides the President with advice and counsel on fiscal affairs and has direct responsibility for the business operation of The University including operation of the physicai plant. This officer is responsible for budget preparation and analysis. Operational administration of the graduate and undergraduate programs of The University is the responsibility of the Deans of the five Colleges. The Deans report to the Vice PreSident for Academic Affairs. They provide leadership in program. faculty, and staff development. Instructional programs within the Colleges are organized by DiVisions, headed by Division Directors, who have responsibility under the Dean for the operation of their Divisions. Division Directors also are expected to provide leadership in faculty and staff development and in academic program development. 261 GENERAL INFORMATION Continuing Education activities of The University are located in the Division of Continuing Education. The Division is administered by a Dean who reports directly to the President and who is responsible for developing and operating all continuing education activities. The Division develops, promotes, coordinates, evaluates, and provides financial and logistical support for conferences, institutes, short courses, workshops, seminars, and special training programs. The Division has no permanently assigned faculty. Instructors for the various activities are selected from one or more of the five Colleges within The University of Texas at San Antonio, or from institutions or organizations outside The University. ACCREDITATION The University of Texas at San Antonio was granted full accreditation at the graduate level by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in December 1974 and full accreditation at the undergraduate level in December 1976. Because accreditation applies retroactively within the year awarded, all UT San Antonio degrees have been awarded by an accredited institution. THE JOHN PEACE LIBRARY The John Peace Library of The University of Texas at San Antonio, named in 1974 in honor of the late former Chairman of The University of Texas System Board of Regents, has undergone rapid development and expansion since 1972, when work began on the development of collections. As of Fall 1979, the collections of the library include 358,000 books and periodicals, either bound or in microform: 71,000 federal, state and local documents: and 128,000 volume equivalents in various microform collections. The library subscribes to approximately 2,200 periodicals and receives as a deSignated depository a wide variety of federal, state, and local documents. In addition, the library has extensive holdings in microform of governmental documents. and research reports. All materials have been selected to support the teaching and research needs of UT San Antonio. The UT San Antonio special collections and rare books focus on Western Americana and on Texana. Most notable among the special collections are the John Peace Collection of books and documents in the period of the Texas Republic and the Kathryn Stoner O'Connor Collection of early Texas and Mexican materials owned by the Sons of the Texas Republic, which are on permanent deposit in the Special Collections department. The public service staff includes professional librarians with subject specialities who offer reference and bibliographic assistance to students and faculty. On-line computer searching is available as is a full range of inter-library loan services. Circulations, acquisitions and cataloging procedures are highly automated. The library is a member of OCLC, a national cataloging network. It is also a member of the Council on Research and Academic Libraries (CORAL), a library network which has as its goal the developing and strengthening of information resources and services in the greater San Antonio area. The library building is designed to offer full services and convenience to students and faculty. The majority of books and periodicals are on open shelves for browsing and ease of access. In addition to the traditional library facilities, the John Peace Library also has full audio·visual capability, music listening facilities and a curriculum mate· rials center. Carrels, group study rooms, lounges, and faculty studies are conveniently located throughout the building to provide ideal study conditions. Coin-operated copy· ing equipment for paper and microform materials are available to library users.'

THE LUTCHER CENTER The Lutcher Center is a conference facility of The University of Texas System. Responsibility for administration and supervision of the Lutcher Center is assigned to the President of The University of Texas at San Antonio. The Lutcher Center supports the administrative and developmental programs of The University of Texas System and its component institutions. It also provides space, facilities, and services for educational and public service programs of component units of The University of Texas System. The Center may also be used by other public and private educational institutions and by groups engaged in public service. THE CENTER FOR STUDIES IN BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES The Center for Studies in Business, Economics, and Human Resources is the research center of the College of Business. The major objective of the Center is to offer the opportunity for students and faculty of The University to have an adequate environment for problem solving and community-related research. While the Center is an integral part of the College of Business, it interacts with the faculty of the other Colleges to provide an interdisciplinary approach to research and business education. The focus of activity at the Center is on application of theories and research techniques to produce useful information for public and private decision making. Specialized data files are maintained on a continuing basis, while a research library and information systems guide interested users to sources of information. The knowledge and experience of The University's faculty are utilized to solve specific problems in the broad categories of management, finance, administration, planning, economic feasibility, production, economic impact, anti-trust laws and procedures, international trade, environmental protection, and manpower utilization. CENTER FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH The Center for Archaeological Research (in the Division of Social Sciences, College of Humanities and Social Sciences) was established in September, 1974. Among its objectives are: (1) to provide the opportunity for students to train in archaeology; (2) promoting archaeological research in the South and South Central Texas region; (3) carrying out archaeological surveys and assignments for federal and state agencies as required by legislation and executive orders; (4) aiding local agencies and citizens who need the services of trained archaeologists. The Center's staff includes a number of graduate and undergraduate students, who, along with other Center personnel, have conducted archaeological investigations in various parts of Texas, particularly in the South, Southwest, and Central sections of the state. Results of these investigations are published in more than 80 volumes in the Center's four publication series: Archaeological Survey Reports, Regional Studies, Special Reports, and Guidebooks in Archaeology. The Center was administered more than 160 contracts and grants to date, among which was a two-year study of the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Spanish mission complex at Guerrero, Mexico and a multi-year study at the Maya site of Colha, Belize, in Central America. The Center has also helped to organize and support regional archaeological surveys and 28 f GENERAL INFORMATION excavations and has participated in local, state, and international archaeological conferences. CENTER FOR APPLIED RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY The Center for Applied Research and Technology (CART) is the research center of the College of Sciences and Mathematics. The major goals of CART are to offer opportunities for expanded research in the applied sciences for faculty and graduate students, to provide an educational opportunity whereby individual skills can be developed to fill employers' needs for applied scientists, and to provide research-related services for the community at large. Although CART is a part of the College of Sciences and Mathematics, it interacts with the faculty of other Colleges and with the local research community through the Southwest Research Consortium. CART serves as a focal point for applied science research activities at The University by providing guidance and programs for contract and grant management and by furnishing analytical services and research support for faculty and students. Exceptional students have an opportunity to gain valuable work experience through CART's technical services and research programs. The CART staff includes faculty, research associates, students, and technical and support personnel. Emphasis is on interdisciplinary research in the earth, life, and physical sciences.
