Individuals submitting applications after the priority deadline will be subject to a $25 late fee upon registration. To avoid a late fee, apply by the admission application deadline.

In addition to sending an application and fee, you must submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have ever attended — even if you do not wish to transfer the credit to UNT.

 

What do I do after I have been accepted?

Undergraduate students need to attend a New Student Orientation and Advising Session before they can register for classes.

Graduate students are not required to attend but are highly encouraged to attend.

RSVP online for a New Student Orientation and Advising Session

 

What if I don’t meet the requirements?

If you do not qualify for undergraduate admission according to the chart, you can request admission on an individual review basis.

The individual review procedure enables us to consider additional information regarding your preparedness for university-level study.

Your request must be made prior to the admission deadline for the semester for which you wish to enroll.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be interviewed or asked to submit letters of recommendation, an essay, additional test scores or new college course work.

If we believe you can be successful at the UNT Dallas Campus, we will give you the opportunity.

If you do not meet graduate admission requirements, call the UNT Dallas Campus at (972) 780-3600 for admission options.

 

What if I have poor college grades from years ago?

Students seeking an undergraduate degree who were enrolled in a postsecondary institution 10 or more years ago may seek admission to UNT without consideration of that academic work through the Academic Fresh Start program (Texas Education Code Section 51.931).

To take advantage of this option, you must request it prior to your enrollment at UNT by submitting an Academic Fresh Start request form.

Call the UNT Dallas Campus at (972) 780-3600 for a form.

You must report and submit all your college transcripts with your application for admission.

For students who were admitted to a Texas public university under the Academic Fresh Start law, earned a bachelor’s degree and now desire to apply for admission to a graduate or professional program, the graduate school will consider only the GPA earned after enrollment under this law, along with the other standard graduate school admissions criteria.

 

Will I have to take the Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA, formerly TASP) test?

Most Dallas Campus students will have fulfilled the requirements of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) at their community college or at another university. However, students seeking teacher certificates, certifications and endorsements should check with the academic department.

For more information about these requirements call the Program for Academic Readiness office at (940) 565-4403 or visit www.unt.edu/par.

 

Can I transfer all my hours?

Transcripts are evaluated by the UNT undergraduate or graduate admissions office to determine acceptable transfer credit from other institutions.

An adviser determines the applicability of the credit to your degree, certificate, certification or endorsement program.

For those seeking graduate degrees, the number of permitted transfer hours also depends on the number of required credit hours to complete the degree program.

Take your transcripts to the UNT Dallas Campus or the appropriate admissions office.

 

Will my ‘D’ and ‘I’ grades transfer?

Some undergraduate courses and/or majors may require a “C” or better for credit and therefore require students who have earned a “D” to retake the course.

A “D” grade equals one grade point per semester hour if it transfers.

Incomplete (“I”) grades will not count against you.

For graduate students, only grades of “C” or better can be used toward a graduate degree.

 

Does the UNT Dallas Campus accept CLEP, AP, credit by examination or military credit?

Subject to general limitations, UNT may accept credit earned through College Level Examination Program (CLEP) subject examinations and College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations, credit by examination given at other colleges, and military credit as recommended by the American Council on Education.

For information about credit by examination at UNT, contact the UNT Dallas Campus at (972) 780-3600.

 

Will my transfer hours count toward my GPA?

No. Grade points earned at other institutions are excluded in the computation of your cumulative GPA at UNT. However, transfer hours accepted are included in determining your classification (junior, senior, graduate student), minimum required level of performance, and for graduation purposes.

If you have questions, contact the adviser for your academic program or a staff person at the Dallas Campus.
