Here is some important information regarding Honors courses: · The required courses are: o 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. o HON 2301 – is required for Honors and can be taken at any time. This is a one-credit hour, 8-week, online, asynchronous course. o Honors CSH 1213– is required for Honors and can be taken when it fits their schedule. This course is offered in the fall or spring semester. o Honors WRC 1023 – is required, unless they have prior credit (either dual, transfer, or UTSA credit), and can be taken in the fall or spring. NOTE: if they have credit already for this, they do NOT need to take the Honors section. It should automatically be subbed out in DegreeWorks. · We offer a wide variety of Honors seminars, some of which require the Instructor’s permission. If a student asks about Honors courses, please send them our way! We’ll be happy to assist them. Course descriptions are available on our website: https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/courses.html. · Three weeks after priority registration, non-Honors students can request to enroll in Honors courses. They can submit the request via our form that is on our website: https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/forms-documents.html. Honors Counselors are available in the Honors Experiential Learning Lab, GSR 1.204. Students can just drop in any time during operating hours and meet with any available Honors Counselor or Peer Coach! https://honors.utsa.edu/academics/experiential-learning-lab.html Honors Opportunities for All Students: Citymester<https://honors.utsa.edu/programs/utsa-citymester/> is a 10-week program, May 27- August 8, 2025, designed to immerse students in the vibrant and diverse landscape of San Antonio through part-time internships or research experience, volunteer work at service organizations around the San Antonio community, and visits to key locations across the city. (Last year we visited: The Good Hood, the Williams Historical National Museum, VIA Metro Center at San Pedro, Confluence Park, Port Tech SA, Leon Valley City Hall, the Alamo, and Haven for Hope). These site visits are valuable in helping students gain a deeper understanding of San Antonio’s unique history, culture, and challenges while fostering connections with the communities and organizations that shape the city. Citymester offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore social issues, engage with community partners, and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities within our community. The program is open to all UTSA undergraduates, regardless of major, and participants in the Honors College will earn three Honors College experiences. Citymester is more than just a summer program—it's an avenue for cultivating future leaders who are informed, engaged, and ready to make a difference in San Antonio. Students do not need to be in the Honors College to participate. We provide accepted students with a $3,000 scholarship if they are accepted to offset the tuition and fees of being enrolled in 9 SCH over the summer. With an additional stipend for students who land an unpaid internship. If you have any additional questions please reach out to: Citymester(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Citymester@utsa.edu>. Highlighted Benefit for Honors College Members: Funding assistance – The Honors College has multiple sources of funds that can help support expenses related to an experience, which include outside the classroom experiences, study abroad, research opportunities, and graduate education costs. For experiences: · The Honors Experiential Learning Award: https://honors.utsa.edu/scholarships/honors-experiential-learning-award.html · Alvarez Opportunities Fund: https://honors.utsa.edu/scholarships/alvarez-fund.html<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rrvk8WuFt9XE5vIM6d7HH_jA4jXxpiATpg98aIb7i...> · The Honors College Study Abroad Planning Award: https://honors.utsa.edu/scholarships/study-abroad-award.html · The Honors College Summer Research Award: https://honors.utsa.edu/scholarships/honors-college-summer-award-opportun...

New course in Communication: Deliberation and Decision Making open for non-majors

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

From: Laurie Lewis <laurie.lewis(a)utsa.edu<mailto:laurie.lewis@utsa.edu>> Date: Monday, October 21, 2024 at 3:42 PM To: Paula A Perilla-Duque <Paula.PerillaDuque(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Paula.PerillaDuque@utsa.edu>>, Derek Kubacki <derek.kubacki(a)utsa.edu<mailto:derek.kubacki@utsa.edu>>, Chad McFadon <Chad.McFadon(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Chad.McFadon@utsa.edu>>, Christopher Salazar <Christopher.Salazar3(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Christopher.Salazar3@utsa.edu>>, Cristian Nuno <cristian.nuno(a)utsa.edu<mailto:cristian.nuno@utsa.edu>>, Karl Fisher <karl.fisher(a)utsa.edu<mailto:karl.fisher@utsa.edu>>, Sarai Zamora <Sarai.Zamora(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Sarai.Zamora@utsa.edu>>, Miranda Swain <Miranda.Swain(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Miranda.Swain@utsa.edu>>, Estefania Casper <estefania.casper(a)utsa.edu<mailto:estefania.casper@utsa.edu>> Subject: New course in Communication: Deliberation and Decision Making All- A companion course to my course in Listening (being taught this semester and for the past three semesters) is a new course Deliberation and Decision Making (4413). I have attached a flyer. This hybrid course is ideally suited for anyone with interests in a corporate, community, or other decision-making context of groups /teams. We will discuss how decisions do get made in teams and groups and better practices for deliberating, collaborating and deciding. This course has an online component of resource, reading, and review of materials and an in-class component devoted to hands-on practice of tools and skills related to group deliberation. This course is currently coded as a Com Major course, but I'm working to open it to non-majors. Please keep it in mind as you advise undergraduate students. Although it is a 4000 level course it is appropriate for any UTSA student (whether they are first-year or beyond). I will not presume familiarity with communication foundational course work. Key assignments will be projects related to deliberation and collaboration; short reflection papers; short open-book quizzes; and engagement in in-class activities.

Transfer Course Adjustments

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello, We would like to provide some clarification about where to submit requests regarding transfer course adjustments. * If a student has an approved petition to use a transfer course toward the core, please submit those to DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu> so that we may tag the course with the appropriate core code in Banner. * If a course is tagged on the transcript with a core code, but the core code is not in Banner, please submit the information using the "Transcript/Course Evaluation" request type under the Enrollment Operations Processing Request Form<https://www.utsa.edu/enrollment/facultystaff/admissions/> so that it may be sent to the transcript processing team. * Other issues related to transcripts (e.g., missing courses), should also be submitted using the "Transcript/Course Evaluation" request type under the Enrollment Operations Processing Request Form<https://www.utsa.edu/enrollment/facultystaff/admissions/>. We also wanted to provide some additional guidance on when to submit a "Transcript/Course Evaluation" request using the Enrollment Operations Processing Request Form. If a transcript in xtender shows a "Routing Status" of "TO_BE_EVALUATED" (see below), a ticket does NOT need to submitted to ensure the credits are awarded. This status means a transcript is already on the list to be processed, and the transcript evaluation team processes transcripts in the order that they were received. If a course on the transcript is needed to satisfy a prerequisite for one of the student's next courses, a prerequisite override may need to be issued in Banner. [cid:image001.jpg@01DB1FBF.2EB43C20] A ticket may need to be submitted if credits on the transcript have not been awarded and one of the following is true: 1. The Routing Status column is blank (see the first image below), or 2. It has a Routing Status of "EVALUATION_COMPLETE" or "ADM_REVIEWED" (see the second image below) NO STATUS LISTED [cid:image002.jpg@01DB1FBF.2EB43C20] EVALUATION COMPLETE or ADM REVIEWED [cid:image003.jpg@01DB1FBF.2EB43C20] Another thing to note is that a transcript in xtender may show transfer coursework that another institution accepted. For instance, a student may have completed coursework at both SAC and ACC. The student submits the transcript shown in the image below from SAC. The "R" in the "Typ" column indicates the student completed SPCH 1318 in Residence at SAC (the institution that issued the transcript). SAC also accepted transfer credit for GOVT 2306 and HUMA 1305 from ACC. These Transfer credits are identified by the "T" in the "Typ" column. They may also show grades such as "TA" similar to what we do at UTSA. Credit will not be awarded for the 2 ACC courses using the below SAC transcript. The student would need to send a transcript from ACC to receive credit for those courses at UTSA. [cid:image004.jpg@01DB1FBF.2EB43C20] Matt D.
