College of Business BBA - All Professional Fields BS - Business Computer Information Systems Accounting Control Systems Accounting School of Community Service Criminal Justice College of Education Teacher Education School of Library and Information Services BS degree College of Music All programs Admission Application Fee All applicants new to the University of North Texas must pay a $25 (U.S. citizens) or $50 (non-U.S. citizens) non-refundable admission application fee. The fee must be paid in U.S. dollars. Admission decisions will not be made until after the application, application fee and all academic credentials are received and evaluated. High School Graduates Students admitted to the first semester of college work must have graduated from an accredited high school. To apply, students must present satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test I of the College Board or the American College Testing Program, according to rank in their high school graduating class (see "Entrance Examination" in this section). Students also must submit an application for admission to UNT with a transcript showing their high school credits and rank in their graduating class. Transcripts showing rank in class should be sent after completion of the junior year. Appropriateness of experience in lieu of a high school diploma (i.e., G.E.D., home schooling, graduation from an unaccredited high school, etc.) may be assessed on an individual approval basis by the UNT Admissions Review Committee (ARC). For more information, see "Admission by Individual Approval" in this section of the catalog. The following are suggested entrance units from high school. -English: 4 credits (English I-IV) -Mathematics: 4 credits (Algebra I and Geometry; Algebra II and Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry and either Elementary Analysis or Analytic Geometry) -Sciences: 3 credits (to be selected from Physical Science, Biology I and II, Chemistry I and II and Physics I and II) -Social Sciences: 4 credits (U.S. History, 1 unit; U.S. Government, 1/2 unit; World History Studies, 1 unit; World Geography, 1 unit; and Economics, 1/2 unit) -Foreign Language: 3 credits (Levels I-III proficiency of the same language) -Health: 1/2 credit minimum -Fine Arts: 1 credit -Physical Education: 1 1/2 credits -Computer Science: 0-1 credit (demonstrated proficiency at Level I) -Electives: 2 1/2 credits Entrance Examination Minimum scores for the entrance exam vary according to the applicant's rank in the high school graduating class.

To be considered, students must: 1. be ranked in the top quarter of their class; 2. have a strong B average; 3. have completed 3 units of English and 2 units each of solid mathematics, social science and natural science; 4. present minimum combined SAT I score of 1100 or ACT composite of 27; 5. submit letters from high school counselor or principal recommending early admission; 6. submit a letter from parents or guardians stating they approve of early admission; and 7. arrange an interview in the Admissions Office. High school seniors may be enrolled concurrently at UNT through coordination with the UNT Director of Admissions and the high school. Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science Students The Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science is a residential early admissions program for accelerated study designed to attract gifted high school juniors and seniors to the science and mathematics fields. Students earn two years of college credit while completing their last two years of high school. For additional information, write to the Director, Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, University of North Texas, P.O. Box 5307, Denton, TX 76203-0307. Transfer Students A transfer student is defined as any student new to UNT who has ever been enrolled at another college or university prior to attendance at UNT. UNT evaluates credit only from generally recognized accredited academic institutions. Applicants must submit records of all accredited institutions attended, even if they do not wish to transfer the credit to UNT. Transfer students with fewer than 30 transferable semester hours of college work must meet the entrance requirements listed above for high school graduates, have a minimum 2.5 grade point average (4.0 grading system) and be eligible to return to any institution attended. Transfer students with no less than 30 and no more than 44 transferable semester hours must: 1. have a minimum GPA of 2.25 on a 4.0 grading system; 2. submit application for admission; and 3. provide an official transcript from each college or university attended. Transfer students with more than 44 hours of college work must: 1. have a minimum GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 grading system; 2. submit application for admission; and 3. provide an official transcript from each college or university attended. The Admissions Office determines acceptable transfer credit from other institutions. The student's academic dean determines applicability of the credit to a degree program. The Admissions Office provides, along with the acceptance notification letter, a copy of the evaluated official transcript(s) from the other institution(s) of higher education. This evaluation of course credit reflects accepted transfer credit as well as credit that has not been accepted in transfer. If UNT does not accept lower-division course credit earned by a student at another institution of higher education, UNT shall give written notice to the student and the other institution that the transfer of the course credit is denied. The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines. If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the institution at which the credit was earned within 45 days after the date the student receives written notice of the denial, UNT shall notify the commissioner of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board of its denial and the reason for the denial. The commissioner of higher education or the commissioner's designee shall make the final determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice of the determination to the involved student and institutions. Transfer Students' Right to Academic Fresh Start for Admission Decisions Texas Senate Bill 1321 (1993) allows students who were enrolled in a postsecondary institution 10 or more years ago to seek admission to UNT without consideration of that academic work. Contact the Office of Admissions for additional information. Texas Community/Junior College Transfer Students Prior to transferring to UNT from a Texas community/junior college, students should discuss the UNT Course Equivalency Guide and the UNT Degree Plan Notebook with their community/junior college academic adviser/counselor. Both publications have been made available to all Texas community/junior college counseling offices as a supplement to the UNT Undergraduate Catalog. Course equivalency guides are available to prospective transfer students from the UNT Admissions Office. Students are encouraged to plan all course selections at the community/junior college as far in advance as possible. Proper planning and use of the "UNT Course Equivalency Guide" and the "UNT Degree Plan Notebook" will maximize the transfer of credit to UNT. Additionally, UNT has joined the Texas Common Course Numbering System to facilitate the transfer of credits. For additional information regarding transfer evaluation information, contact the Office of Admissions. Advanced-Hour Credit A lower-level course that is determined to be equivalent to a UNT upper-level course does not satisfy the requirement of advanced hours. Texas Common Course Numbering System The Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) has been designed for the purpose of aiding students in the transfer of general academic courses between colleges and universities throughout Texas. A list of currently approved TCCNS numbers appears in the Courses of Instruction section at the back of this catalog. In course descriptions, TCCNS prefixes and/or numbers, when applicable, are indicated in parentheses immediately following the UNT course number. Information provided is subject to change without notice and does not constitute a contract between UNT and a student or applicant for admission. Prospective transfer students should contact the department of their intended major for course work guidelines prior to enrollment. Maximum Transfer Hours As many as 66 semester hours may be applied by the academic dean toward a degree for a student entering from an approved two-year college. No commitment is made by the University of North Texas as to the applicability of such work until official records have been received and evaluated. The Admissions Office determines acceptable transfer credit from other institutions based on evaluation of course content as described in the catalogs of those institutions and in consultation with appropriate academic units at UNT as necessary for clarification. Transfer credit may only be received for course work completed at an accredited institution of higher education. The student's academic dean determines applicability of the credit to a degree program. Students seeking the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) should refer to the special provisions of the respective BAAS degree programs. Students who have begun residence work at UNT and who have attained junior standing may, only with the prior written approval of their academic dean, enroll in and transfer hours from approved two-year colleges provided they do not exceed the 66-hour maximum. Transient Students Undergraduate students who have been enrolled at another college or university previously may attend UNT as transient students for one semester only, provided their intent is to return to their previous college or university. An official transcript from only the last college or university attended must be submitted with the application for admission and the application fee prior to the application deadline. The transcript must reflect that the student is not on academic probation or suspension from that institution. If a transient student later decides to continue at UNT, the transient status ends and all admission requirements for a beginning transfer student (see "Transfer Students") must be met prior to the second enrollment at UNT. An application for admission for transient students wishing to continue must be filed prior to the application deadline. If a student originally applies as a regular transfer student and is academically rejected for admission, the student cannot change application status to transient. Because of federal laws and immigration requirements, international students are not eligible to enroll at UNT as transient students. See "Orientation" in the Admissions section of this catalog for additional information. Former Students Students who have previously attended UNT but who have not been enrolled here for at least one of the last four consecutive semesters must meet the following re-enrollment requirements. 1. File admission application with application fee. 2. Submit transcripts from all colleges attended (if any) since leaving UNT showing eligibility to re-enroll at each institution. 3. Show eligibility to re-enroll at UNT. If not in good standing at UNT at the time of the most recent enrollment, the GPA at any schools subsequently attended must reflect a 2.0 GPA or higher on transferable work. Students may be denied re-admission on the basis of work taken at other institutions. 4. If previous UNT enrollment was as a transient or special student, all academic credentials are required. 5. Former students who have not enrolled elsewhere since leaving UNT and who are in good academic standing are required only to submit an admission application. Graduate Students Students who hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a regionally accredited institution and who wish to be considered for admission at UNT for the first time should contact the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies. Applicants who hold a degree are considered graduate students, whether or not an additional degree is sought. General admission requirements to the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies, specific admission requirements to graduate degree programs and descriptions of graduate courses are printed in the Graduate Catalog. International Students Applicants who do not hold U.S. citizenship should apply for admission at least six months before the anticipated enrollment date and should arrange to have test scores and transcripts in the Office of Admissions at least 90 days before the enrollment date. Verification of credentials also may be required. If transferring from any college or university, applicants must meet all normal UNT transfer admission requirements as determined and evaluated by the International Admissions Office. Specific requirements are detailed below. UNT will not issue immigration papers for student visas until all admission credentials have been received and approved. For more information, see the International Student Brochure available from the Office of Admissions. A $50 (U.S. money) application fee is required and must be submitted with the application for admission. This fee is subject to change at any time and is not refundable. English Language Proficiency Screening Test International student applicants and non-exempt permanent residents whose native language is not English are required to take the UNT English Language Proficiency Screening Test after arrival at UNT and prior to registering for classes. Exemptions are granted only to people who completed all the years required for a high school diploma or an undergraduate degree in the United States. The screening test requirement is not eliminated by TOEFL scores or scores on other standardized tests, by English classes taken at other institutions or by completion of an intensive English program at another institution. Students may take the screening test only once for the semester of admission. Students may not retake the test later to try to get better results or to try to eliminate the requirement for English language classes mandated by the test. A student's performance on the UNT English Language Proficiency Screening Test determines the student's eligibility for (1) full-time UNT study, (2) part-time UNT study and part-time noncredit English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) (3) course work, or (3) full-time noncredit ESL course work. Students must register for required noncredit ESL courses the semester the test is taken. Required ESL courses may not be postponed and must receive first priority in the student's course scheduling. Note that students required to take Advanced ESL Composition are prohibited by English department policy from taking specified writing classes (ENGL 1310, 1312, 1320, 1322, 2700 and 2702). Students who do not successfully complete the required ESL course work during the first semester of enrollment will have restricted course registration or be blocked from further enrollment in the university. International Students from Foreign Secondary Schools Applicants to the freshman class from secondary schools outside the United States or with less than 30 semester hours beyond high school must meet the high school graduate admission requirements with above-average grades, in addition to the following. 1. Score a minimum of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a combination of 530 on the TOEFL and 4.5 on the Test of Written English, or successfully complete a noncredit intensive course in English at the North Texas Intensive English Language Institute. 2. Apply for admission to UNT and submit the $50 (U.S. money) application fee. 3. Submit an official transcript of high school work with official English translation. 4. File proof of available financial resources with the application for admission. 5. If enrolled in a college or university abroad, submit official transcripts with official English translation. Students with less than 30 semester hours that are transferrable must have a grade point average of 2.5 or higher. International Students from Foreign Universities Applicants transferring 30 semester hours or more to UNT from colleges or universities outside the United States must meet the following requirements. 1. Apply for admission to UNT and submit the $50 (U.S. money) application fee. 2. Score a minimum of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language or a combination of 530 on the TOEFL and 4.5 on the Test of Written English, or successfully complete a noncredit intensive course in English at the North Texas Intensive English Language Institute. 3. Submit official transcripts from each college or university attended with official English translation. 4. Show a minimum GPA as follows: 30-45 hours -- 2.25 minimum GPA; more than 45 hours -- 2.0 minimum GPA. 5. File proof of available financial resources with the application for admission. Graduate applicants should consult the current "Graduate Catalog" for further requirements. International Students from Universities in the United States These transferring students must meet the following requirements. 1. Apply for admission to UNT and submit the $50 (U.S. money) application fee. 2. Score a minimum of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language or a combination of 530 on the TOEFL and 4.5 on the Test of Written English, or successfully complete a noncredit intensive course in English at the North Texas Intensive English Language Institute. (Students who have completed all four years and graduated from high school in the United States are exempt from this requirement.) 3. Submit official transcripts from each college or university attended with official English translation for any from foreign universities. 4. Show a minimum GPA as follows: less than 30 hours - 2.5 minimum GPA; 30-45 hours - 2.25 minimum GPA; more than 45 hours - 2.0 minimum GPA. 5. File proof of available financial resources with the application for admission. 6. If less than the equivalent of 30 semester hours of credit is accepted in transfer, beginning freshman requirements also must be met. Graduate applicants should consult the current "Graduate Catalog" for further requirements. Admission by Individual Approval Applicants who do not meet all requirements may be considered for admission by individual approval only if a member of the professional admissions staff feels an individual case has sufficient merit based on indications of academic readiness, to refer it to the Admissions Review Committee (ARC) for consideration and final decision. Factors weighed to determine academic readiness may include, but are not limited to, additional college course work (subsequent to initial denial of admission), possible additional testing, letters of recommendation, and interview and a written personal statement from the student addressing their educational and career goals, rationale for selection of UNT and preparedness for university level study. Referral to the Admissions Review Committee is not automatic but may be granted only after the applicant has submitted recommendation letters from past teachers or counselors and completed an interview prior to the deadline for admission application. A written personal statement also may be required at the discretion of the interviewer. In the case of beginning freshmen, letters of strong recommendation from the high school guidance counselor and two teachers must be supplied before a case can be referred to the Admissions Review Committee. Transfer students should request letters of recommendation from two of their college instructors and their college academic adviser. Transfer students admitted via individual approval are placed automatically on academic probation if their transfer cumulative grade point average falls below the minimum entrance requirement. See "Transfer Students" in the Admission section of this catalog for a statement of the current minimum entrance requirements for transfer students. To avoid academic suspension, transfer students admitted on academic probation must make a grade point average equal to or exceeding the minimum for the appropriate classification as shown in the Table of Minimum Academic Requirements (see the Academics section of this catalog). The University of North Texas is committed to a program of minority recruitment and admissions, and particularly encourages minority students in the top quarter of their high school graduating classes who do not meet all admission requirements to discuss admission by individual approval with a member of the professional admissions staff. Minority transfer students who do not meet all admission requirements also are encouraged to discuss admission by individual approval with a member of the professional admissions staff. A limited number of admissions may be granted to students who do not satisfy the admission standards but who have demonstrated some exceptional talent. These students must have the approval of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. All students admitted via the Admissions Review Committee are required to register for UCRS 1000, Study Skills, during their first enrollment at UNT. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions. Adult Admission Program Freshman applicants who have been out of school for at least five years and who have earned fewer than 30 semester hours at a college or university may be eligible for admission to UNT under the Adult Admission Program. Individuals eligible for this program may be accepted without the required SAT or ACT test scores only if evidence provided to the Admissions Office staff suggests the potential of academic success for the individual. Applicants under the Adult Admission Program must submit an application, application fee, a copy of all high school transcripts and official transcripts of any previous college/university work. Students who are transferring less than 30 hours from another college/university also must have a minimum 2.5 grade point average (4.0 grading system) and be eligible to return to any institution attended. Upon review of this information, the Admissions Office may ask for a personal interview with the prospective student. The purpose of the interview is to allow the committee to gain additional information relevant to the admission decision. Students who are admitted under the provisions of the Adult Admission Program are subject to all other academic and programmatic requirements of the university. Persons interested in the Adult Admission Program are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions for further information and an application. Admission or Re-enrollment as Related to Personal Conduct and Admission Falsification It is the responsibility of the Director of Admissions to refer to the Dean of Students any application for admission or re-enrollment which indicates possible ineligibility of the applicant on grounds involving personal conduct. The potential of the applicant to benefit from university attendance, as well as the welfare and safety of the student body and of the university will be carefully considered before permission to enroll will be granted. Orientation All accepted undergraduate students new to UNT are required to attend an orientation for academic advisement prior to registration for classes. Freshmen entering in the fall semester are invited to attend one of the Freshman Orientation sessions where they receive individual attention and assistance with class scheduling. These sessions are conducted during July and August. Freshman Orientation includes campus life sessions, an activities mart, placement testing, academic advising, early teleregistration for classes and completion of the tuition and fee payment process. Six three-day conferences are planned. A nominal fee is charged for room, meals and administrative costs. All freshmen who do not attend one of the summer Freshmen Orientation sessions must attend the University Academic Orientation. Fall semester transfer students who have applied by June 15, and who have been accepted prior to July 5 are invited to attend one of two early transfer orientation and teleregistrations in July. All other new undergraduate students, including transient students, beginning freshmen who did not attend Freshman Orientation, and transfer students are required to attend a one-day University Academic Orientation preceding regular teleregistration. Academic advising takes place during University Academic Orientation. New international students are required to attend an orientation conducted by the International Student and Scholar Office. All new undergraduate students receive orientation information following acceptance notification. Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination UNT awards undergraduate college credit on the basis of local and national examinations, subject to general limitations. A maximum of 24 semester hours of credit earned by examination at this institution or elsewhere may be applied toward the bachelor's degree. A maximum of 36 credit hours for all non-traditional forms of education may be counted toward fulfilling undergraduate degree requirements; this includes the examinations named above, military service credit and classroom instruction offered through the non-academic institutions approved by the American Council on Education. Such credit is not included in determining grade point averages and has the following additional restrictions: 1. may not be used to reduce the general degree requirement of completing a minimum of 30 semester hours in residence, or the requirement of completing in residence at least 24 of the last 30 semester hours required; 2. may not be used to reduce the general degree requirement of completing at least 24 semester hours of advanced work at UNT; 3. may not be used to reduce the general degree requirement of completing at least 12 advanced hours in the major at UNT; 4. may not be earned in any course the student has previously completed at any university; and 5. may not be earned in any course prerequisite to another course in the same subject for which the student has previously earned credit. State law specifies that the degree requirement of 6 hours in American history and 6 hours in government may not be reduced below 3 semester hours in each area by examination credit. UNT recognizes exam credit in transfer from other accredited institutions within limits outlined above. Scores from exam credits accepted in transfer are not re-evaluated by UNT. Credit and advanced placement may be granted only in accordance with policy and procedures in operation at UNT. Departments that employ the CLEP Subject Examinations, the College Board Advanced Placement Examination or other instruments for granting advanced placement set departmental standards for their use. Advanced Placement Examinations (AP) Beginning freshmen who have received college-level training in secondary school and who present scores of 3, 4 or 5 on the appropriate Advanced Placement Examination will be granted, on request, placement and credit for comparable courses at the university following enrollment.

Therefore, students receiving United States History credit on the basis of the Advanced Placement Examination must earn in residence an additional 3 semester hours credit for advanced United States History. The College Board Advanced Placement Examinations are offered in May each year and are administered by the College Board. All requests for information should be directed to the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board, P.O. Box 977, Princeton, NJ 08541. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) UNT recognizes credit earned through College Level Examinations of the College Board only if the credit is first certified by the Office of Admissions. The dean of the student's college or school at UNT has the option of applying CLEP credit to the student's degree plan. Both the objective and essay portions of the CLEP English examination are required. CLEP General Examinations UNT does not grant credit on the basis of College Board CLEP General Examination scores. CLEP Subject Examinations Credit is certified but not necessarily applied to a degree if the student scores at or above the average scores of those students in the national norms sample who earned a C in regular college courses on the subject. Use of CLEP Credit Credit can be given for only one of the following (with essay): English composition examination or freshman English examination. Credit is not awarded until the English department has certified the essay portion. A student may not earn examination credit for any course failed. All general regulations for credit by examination apply to CLEP credit.

The department recommends the amount of credit to be awarded subject to the approval of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. ** six semester hours of credit will be certified as acceptable; however, students must present at least 3 hours of credit by classroom instruction toward meeting the 6-hour statutory requirement in American History. Scholastic Assessment Test I (SAT I) American College Test (ACT) Beginning freshmen who present scores of 600 or better on the verbal section of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT I) of the College Board or scores of 30 or better on the English section of the American College Test (ACT) of the American College Testing Program may take the credit by examination test administered by the English department. Successful applicants may receive up to 6 semester hours credit for ENGL 1310 and 1320. Additional information about advanced placement can be obtained from the departmental section of this catalog or by writing to: Chair, Department of English, University of North Texas, P.O. Box 13827, Denton, TX 76203-0827. Achievement Tests UNT does not grant college credit on the basis of College Board Achievement Test scores. Locally Administered Examinations Credit in certain courses offered at the university may be earned by locally administered examinations. On the basis of previous training or experience, any student who has reason to believe he or she can pass an examination in one or more of these courses may be permitted to apply for such examination with the approval of the dean of the school or college under which the particular course is offered. Students should first consult with the appropriate department about the availability of specific examinations for credit. Locally administered examinations for credit are offered once each summer term. Credit by exam is not included in the computation of grade point averages. Information on procedures is available through the office of the student's academic dean. Educational Experience in the Armed Services Credit may be given for formal service school courses completed in the armed services after evaluation of official documents by the Office of Admissions. The student's academic dean decides if credit awarded for such courses will be applied toward requirements for the bachelor's degree. International Baccalaureate (IB) Requests for placement and credit for comparable courses at UNT may be granted to beginning freshmen who have received college-level training in secondary school and who have passed IB higher level examinations with scores of 5, 6 or 7.
