by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello Everyone, Please share this information about the UTSA 2024 Summer Law School Preparation Academy (SLSPA) program to any of your students interested in attending law school - or exploring this possibility. The Summer Law School Preparation Academy (SLSPA) is intentionally designed to help students develop core skills for law school and the legal career. Students take challenging law school-format classes and learn how to think like a lawyer while learning whether they belong in law school and can succeed in a legal career. Through the SLSPA they will connect with the legal community (lawyers, law school professors and admissions) and will experience law school mock classes with the opportunity to take cost free-LSAT workshops. Students will get ready for law school while earning academic credits that law schools will consider for admission. Apply here<https://www.utsa.edu/ilpa/summer-academy.html>. Application Deadline: April 19, 2024. Attached you will also find an electronic flyer. The SLSPA is hosted at the Institute for Law and Public Affairs (ILPA), a division of Career Engaged Learning Best, __ Estefania "Stef" Casper, M.S. Academic Advisor

Honors Academics: We receive lots of questions regarding Honors requirements. Below is an example of what we provide our students, regarding the Honors curriculum requirements. Have questions? Contact the Honors Counselors at honors.advising(a)utsa.edu<mailto:honors.advising@utsa.edu>. Welcome to UTSA & the Honors College! The required courses are below. You'll need to take HON 1000 first. It's required in the first semester since it's the intro to Honors and will explain the curriculum + help you discover your path in Honors. As for the experiences, those can be done inside or outside the classroom (which is what HON 1000 covers). More information about it is on our website<https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/requirements/> . * HON 1000 - is required for all Honors students and must be taken in the first semester. This is a zero-credit hour, 8-week, online, asynchronous course. * HON 2301 - is required for Honors and must be taken in the first year. This is a one-credit hour, 8-week, online, asynchronous course. * Honors CSH 1213- is required for Honors and can be taken when it fits your schedule. This course is offered in the fall or spring semester. This is a core course and the modality is listed on the course schedule. Each section has a different topic, and you can read the topic title + course descriptions on our website <https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/courses.html> . * Honors WRC 1023 - is required, unless you have prior credit (ex: dual credit for ENGL 1302). This is a core course, and the modality is listed on the course schedule. NOTE: If you have credit already for this, you do NOT need to take the Honors section. Notes: * Honors AIS is not required, however if you take it, it will count towards the core curriculum and as your first Honors experience. * You can find Honors sections of courses by selecting "Honors" in the attribute box on the course schedule. * Most HON seminar courses are interdisciplinary and open to all Honors students. There are a few that require instructor permission. Course descriptions & requirements can be found on the website<https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/courses.html>. Honors Opportunities for All Students: The Archer Fellowship Program<http://bit.ly/ArcherProgram> provides undergraduate students from across The University of Texas System with a unique opportunity to explore their interest in public policy and/or public service in our nation's capital. Why Archer? * Thanks to generous campus support, tuition and housing fees are fully covered for UTSA Archer Fellows! * All majors are welcome! * Earn in-residence UT San Antonio credit for coursework and gain hand-on work experience in a full-time internship of your choosing. * Archer Fellows live together near Capitol Hill and build lasting friendships and professional connections with each other. * Honors College students earn 3 Honors Experiences when completing the Fellowship. Eligibility - The Archer Fellowship Program is available to undergraduate students of all majors and areas of study, and we welcome a diverse array of student interests and backgrounds. Students do not need to be members of the Honors College to be a part of the Archer Fellowship. Students must meet the following eligibility requirements in order to apply: * Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater at The University of Texas at San Antonio * Previous work or internship experience * Campus involvement and/or community leadership experience * Applicant must be pursuing a University of Texas System bachelor's degree If selected for the Archer Fellowship Program, students must meet the following requirements by the beginning of the semester they will be in Washington, D.C.: * Junior or senior status by years and hours (first and second-year students are not eligible) * Twenty-four hours of in-residence credit completed at The University of Texas at San Antonio * Completion of political science core curriculum requirements (POL 1013 and either POL 1133 or POL 1213 or their equivalents) The Archer Fellowship application is due Feb. 15th. Questions? Contact Campus Coordinator Kristi Meyer at Kristi.Meyer(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Kristi.Meyer@utsa.edu>. Highlighted Benefit for Honors College Members: Honors College partners with many programs on campus, and activities done within those programs count towards Honors experiences! Honors has a unique curriculum where experience credit can be earned through in-class & outside the classroom activities. * In class activities: HON courses, Honors sections of courses, Honors contracts<https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/exp-spices/contracts.html>, independent studies, research courses, internship courses, study abroad and more! * Note: not all courses have the H-grade mode or HNRS restriction. What does that mean? It means we have special attributes we put on courses so it does not restrict non-Honors students from taking the courses, but it pulls it into the student's DegreeWorks to count as an experience (ex: MUS 3801, SOSA). * Outside the classroom activities: these can be any extracurricular activities that include professional, academic, personal, or social activities. Some examples can be: certifications, internships, study abroad, special projects, volunteering/service, being a part of a student organization/intramural team/student athlete, writing/publishing, presenting at a conference, learning a new skill, doing activities that promote wellbeing or work-life balance, etc. * Note: these activities are tied to zero-credit hour SPICES courses. Once a student completes the activity, they submit a form and get enrolled in a zero-credit HON course that represents the type of experience they completed. Find out more about the SPICES courses here<https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/exp-spices/>. These courses do not impact the degree or graduation in any way! They are free, applied to the Honors block in DW, and students receive automatic credit at the end of term for them. Not only do we offer credit for students engaging in these activities, we provide support in finding, applying & paying for these experiences! We also have means of teaching them how to speak about their experiences, in meaningful ways - the Experiential Learning Fair<https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/elf/> being one of them! Student Highlight: Anastasiia Gordeeva, Sophomore, major in Chemistry in the College of Science, with a minor in Neuroscience [cid:image001.jpg@01DA4D0A.FAC001B0] * International student from Russia * Holds a music degree and is a piano music composer * Multilingual (4): Russian, English, French and German * Internship Summer 2024 at Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey.

DegreeWorks | AIS Auto Waiver Update

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello all, This past June we updated the scribe to automatically waive students from AIS that have been approved for exemption from AIS for the 22-24 catalog. Reminder that these are students who are admitted as TR or are Post Bac. This change meant AIS would not show as required and instead CAO would require six credits of core classes. We have now made those same changes to Degree Works for the 18-20 and 20-22 catalogs. If you notice any issues with these changes please email us at DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu>.

Component Area Option (090) will show that 6 credits are required for these students. These are students that are automatically exempt from AIS. Here is an example of a PB student and what their Component Area Option looks like for their core: [cid:image001.jpg@01DA4A07.D51376A0] Remember to hit Process to view the change for these students.
