1. What is Admitted Students Day?
Admitted Students Day (“ASD” as we like to call it) is our annual celebration of the incoming class of freshmen and transfer students starting in the upcoming Summer or Fall semester. At ASD, we aim to provide incoming students and their families with an exciting and fun day on campus to accomplish three goals:
Your Admitted Students Day celebration begins by meeting with an Admissions Recruiter at Event Check-in. There they’ll explain all the activities of the day and make recommendations for what you should accomplish based on what items remain on your UNT To-Do List. The main event is the “Level Up Challenges” where admitted students will explore campus in search of faculty, staff and students to earn ASD Coins. Whether it’s outsmarting a professor or checking your financial aid status, the more you engage, the more coins you’ll receive to trade for exclusive swag.
In addition to the Level Up Challenges, we will have:
8. I ran out of ASD Coins and need more swag. Where can I go?
Visit the UNT Barnes & Noble Bookstore inside the University Union from 12-5 p.m. Show your Admitted Students Day schedule to receive 20% off one branded UNT item.
9. Where do I park on Admitted Students Day?
Free, permit-less parking is available for all Admitted Students Day guests in Lots 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 54 and 55. Set your navigation app for 1155 Union Circle, Denton, TX 76203 to locate parking lots on the east side of campus.
10. What if it rains?
Rain or shine, we are celebrating you at Admitted Students Day! We encourage all guests to dress for the Texas weather that can change on a dime. Ponchos and umbrellas are encouraged if the forecast calls for rain. In the event of lightning or other inclement weather, we will move activities indoors until the weather passes.

- Connect you with fellow new Eagles, future classmates and best friends.
- Introduce you to the faculty, staff and current students who will support you throughout your UNT journey.
- Help you with any remaining myUNT Holds and To-Do List items before attending New Student Orientation.

3. Are Admitted Students Day and New Student Orientation the same thing?
ASD is a fun but optional event; New Student Orientation is a mandatory event for
all incoming undergraduate students. In addition to getting acclimated to campus and
learning what it means to be a UNT student, you’ll also receive formal academic advising,
degree planning and leave with your class schedule. Attendance at ASD does not excuse
you from attending New Student Orientation. If you can only make it to campus for
one of these, choose New Student Orientation – it's where you register for classes!
4. How should I prepare for Admitted Students Day?
Check the weather the morning-of and dress accordingly. We recommend comfortable walking
shoes as you navigate the fun.
Review the Holds or To-Do List items on your myUNT account and prepare for assistance!
The staff at the Enrollment Express (Level 4) will be able to help you.
5. What are ASD Coins?
ASD Coins are real, physical tokens you’ll receive for exploring the various “Levels,”
engaging with faculty, staff and current students about all the ways they’ve got your
back, and in most cases, beating them at their station’s game. Remember, the more
you explore, the more ASD Coins you get.
6. What do I use my ASD Coins for?
Trade your hard-earned coins for fantastic Admitted Students Day swag items. In addition
to fan favorites like Scrappy and Lucky plushes, we’ll have some unique offerings
exclusive to this event. Commemorative class poster and event t-shirt? Check. Jibbitz
for your Crocs? Check. UNT backpack? For the right price, all can be yours at Admitted
Students Day! The Swag Shop will be open from 12-4:30 p.m. Take your time to gather
as many coins as you can before stopping by!
7. How do I get the most coins?
Here’s the breakdown of how you can earn the maximum amount of ASD Coins:
- Level 1: The Academy (10 coin piece, one for your college)
- Level 2: Resource Row (10 coin piece, one for every resource office)
- Level 3: Athletics Zone (5 coin piece, one for every game)
- Level 4: Enrollment Express (20 coin piece, one for every Division of Enrollment office)
- Level 5: Student Life Land (5 coin piece, one for every student organization)
