Credits transfer easily from community colleges or other universities because we participate in the Texas Common Course Numbering System.

DID YOU KNOW?
You don’t need an associate’s degree to transfer to UNT.

1. Before the application deadline

Submit separate, official transcripts from every university and college you’ve attended. If you've earned fewer than 30 college credit hours, also submit an official transcript from your high school.

Submit official SAT or ACT scores if you have fewer than 30 college credit hours. (This is not required if you have 30 or more college credit hours.)

Complete the online ApplyTexas application and pay the application fee ($60).

2. Apply by, to enroll in classes starting:

Your application and fee must be submitted by the deadline for you to be eligible for on-time registration. Applicants who miss the admission deadline must pay a higher fee and register during Late Registration when classes are less plentiful.

3. After admission, before enrolling

Register for orientation through your MyUNT account. Orientation — a program all undergraduate students must attend before enrolling in classes — is the first step to a successful experience at UNT. There you’ll receive academic advising, register for classes, learn about academic and other important resources, and start building relationships with other new transfer students, orientation leaders and UNT faculty/staff.

Check your TSI (Texas Success Initiative) status on the MyUNT system (bottom right corner) or call 940-565-4403. Based on your SAT, ACT or TAKS score, you may be required to take an additional test before enrolling.

Online Transfer Resources

Transfer guides provide lists of the Texas Common Course values that will transfer for your specific degree. Each transfer guide also includes a four-year plan to help you stay on track and graduate on time.

UNT's u.select server provides information on UNT course equivalencies and degree information. You can set up a personal account to list and evaluate courses you have completed or plan to complete. Degree plan information also is available in our catalog.

While attending UNT, monitor your progress 24/7 with our online degree audit system. You can even view how your courses will fit the requirements for different majors. It will help you stay on track for graduation and prepare you for advising appointments.

Technical/Career Courses Transfer

Create a personalized degree plan, so you can graduate sooner. With a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science degree, a majority of your AAS degree or career/technical credits may apply. You can choose from two BAAS degree options at UNT.

Military Credits Transfer

UNT is home to more than 2,500 members of the military community and their families. UNT may accept lower- and upper-division military credit, as recommended by the American Council on Education’s Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Credit for vocational work may be accepted if you are pursuing a BAAS degree. For information, call our Veterans Center at 940-369-2681 or visit the Veterans Services website.

GPA Transfers

At UNT, you’ll have two GPAs — a cumulative UNT GPA and an overall cumulative Transfer Work/UNT combined GPA. The overall GPA determines your eligibility to apply for graduation from UNT and to graduate with honors. If you have an "incomplete" on your transcript, it won’t be calculated in your GPA for admission purposes. If you've earned a D, it will transfer (exception: Freshman Composition, which requires a grade of C or higher), but the course may need to be retaken. Certain departments may require a grade of C or higher in specific core courses.

Fresh Start

Students who were enrolled in college 10 or more years ago may seek admission to UNT without consideration of that academic work. Request this before acceptance.

Entrance Exam

To help match you to the right classes, you’ll take the Texas Higher Education Assessment. The test is only used for academic advising, not for admission decisions. We also will accept scores on the ASSET, COMPASS or ACCUPLACER tests. You may qualify for an exemption. Call 940-565-4403 or visit the START Office's site.
