As the number of COVID-19 cases in the region continues to increase and Denton's shelter-at-home restrictions are still in effect, the UNT campus will remain closed except to essential personnel that are needed to serve students who remain in residence halls and for critical business continuity. UNT will notify you when this status changes.
President Smatresk announced to our students on Thursday that a Pass/No Pass option will be available to undergraduate students for the Spring 2020 semester. Students will have the option of electing to receive a letter grade OR Pass/No Pass after viewing their grade for a course at the end of the semester through 5 p.m. Thursday, May 14. Grades given as Pass/No Pass will not count in a student's GPA.
Learn more about the Pass/No Pass option, with guidance for students and guidance for faculty.
The Division of Digital Strategy and Innovation is excited to announce the launch of the new Coursera for UNT program. All students, faculty and staff members with an @unt.edu email have access to non-credit courses for FREE!
In addition, and starting today, you also have free access to more than 3,800 offerings from our partnering peer institutions - some of the best in the world - and our colleagues at Coursera. The non-UNT courses are available through September 2020. This provides faculty immediate access to supplemental (and accessible!) content as they search for high quality online resources for their UNT course.
