Student Support

The Student Success Center helps students with professional development, career planning, and engineering-related events and organizations. Advisors assist with degree planning, navigating academic resources, and academic progress. The Advising Center is currently supporting students virtually and in person at the new SSC building between the McKinney Humanities and North Paseo buildings and can be reached at 210-458-4900 or EngineeringAdvising@utsa.edu

For more information on advising, please visit: https://www.utsa.edu/advising/index.html.

Please contact us or come into the Student Success Center to reserve space for student organization meetings or guest speakers, tabling, or other similar purposes. If you need to borrow tables & chairs or tablecloths, please ask for assistance at the Student Success Center. To make a reservation come by our office, call, or email

Send the Student Success Center an email.

The Klesse College Student Success Center office is located on the 3^rd floor of the Engineering Building, EB 3.04.04, (just to the right of Mechanical Engineering).

An email will be sent out at the beginning of each semester (Fall, Spring and Summer) with the application form and instructions. Fill out the application and have your Faculty Mentor complete their portion of the form, complete with signatures.

Deadlines for each semester are included in the email sent out to undergraduate engineering students.

A $1000 stipend is awarded to students accepted into the Klesse College undergraduate research program, paid in two payments of $500 during the semester. Stipend requests are processed through the Business Service Center, then forwarded to the Stipends office. Stipends are scheduled to be paid at the beginning of October and December for Fall, and at the beginning of March and May for Spring.

Faculty mentors are assigned and can be looked up in UTSA Degreeworks. You can do your undergraduate research with any professor, it doesn’t necessarily have to be your assigned Faculty Mentor.

Faculty members will assign you a project to work on based on your major & area of interest. Engineering faculty for each department can be found at  Klesse College Faculty.

You can look up student organizations by searching in RowdyLink and then requesting to join.

Student organizations and contact information is also listed on the Klesse College Student Success Center - Student Organizations page.

For more information on student organizations, please email Keri Axelrod or call her at 210-458-5195.

You can choose an organization or multiple organizations based on your major, interests, and what you want to do with your engineering career.

For example, a mechanical engineering major could choose the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) if they’re interested in robotics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), or any others that relate to their area.

The Klesse College Ambassador Program is a leadership program for undergraduate Klesse College students. Students assist with on-campus events, recruitment, and robotics programs at nearby schools.
