Syllabus Statement:

This course will be using Zoom, UTSA’s powerful video conferencing tool that empowers faculty to communicate effectively with students, whether in fully online, hybrid, or even enhanced in-person course settings.  

How to Access Zoom

Most of the time, your instructor will provide you with a Zoom meeting link, often found in your course's Learning Management System (LMS) Canvas or sent via email. A free Zoom Pro account is available to all students, faculty and staff at UTSA. Your account is created upon logging in for the first time. 

  1. Click the Meeting Link: Simply click the Zoom meeting link provided by your instructor. 
  2. Download the Zoom App (if needed): If you don't have the Zoom desktop application installed, clicking the link may prompt you to download and run Zoom. It's recommended to install the app for the best experience. You can also download it directly from zoom.us/download.
  3. Sign In (if prompted): Once installed, click Sign In with SSO. Type utsa in the box before .zoom.us. Click Continue. Log in with your myUTSA ID and password. 
  4. Join the Meeting: Once the app launches, you'll join the meeting. You may be placed in a "Waiting Room" until your instructor admits you.
