The University Retention Advisement Program (URAP) offers prescriptive/developmental advisement to all TSI cleared undeclared students at UTPA, with special services offered to freshmen, sophomores and undergraduate transfer students. URAP provides services and assistance designed to:
Integrate new students into the university community
Create an environment which facilitates students' growth and development and promotes educational persistence and academic achievement;
Promote an environment of continuous improvement through regular program evaluation.
URAP serves students by developing and implementing programs that supplement the instructional and support services offered at UT-PA. It also provides students the means to develop self-reliance and independence as integral elements necessary to reach their academic goals
