What is the Deferred Scholars Program?

The Deferred Scholars Program is an invitation-only opportunity for students who have demonstrated an ability to succeed at the University of North Texas, but who have not met all of the initial admissions requirements.

Deferred Scholars participants enroll in college level coursework at another institution for fall 2007 and complete a series of Student Success Activities, designed to help them with their transition to college. In addition, they have direct access to UNT resources to ease their transition.

Students who maintain a 2.5 GPA and complete the Student Success Activities during fall semester 2007 will be automatically admitted to UNT for spring semester, 2008.

The Deferred Scholars program is designed not only so you can enroll at UNT in spring 2008, but will help connect you to the people and resources that will help you be successful throughout your career at UNT.

What are the program requirements?

In order to participate in the Deferred Scholars Program and be accepted for admission to UNT in spring 2008, you must agree to and complete the following requirements:
