UTSA identity
If you have not already done so during
the application process, your first step
to enrolling is claiming your username,
which is called your myUTSA ID, to log
into ASAP (Automated Student Access
Program), your portal into almost
everything you’ll need to do at UTSA.
ASAP is the place where you keep your
personal information updated, register for
classes, view grades, order transcripts,
view your bill and many other functions.
TO DO: Check your email to activate your
myUTSA ID.
You should have received an email from
[email protected] with a link to
activate your ID, which is in the format of
three letters and numbers (abc123). You
will be asked to verify your identity before
activating your myUTSA ID. Once you have
activated your myUTSA ID, you will be able
to access ASAP and use its services.
