A degree plan is an official contract between you and the University. It lists all the courses needed to complete your chosen degree and shows how all the courses you have completed are being applied toward your degree.

 

When should I get a Degree Plan?

You should request a degree plan after you have chosen a major and a minor, and completed approximately 45 hours. A transfer student should request a degree plan during his/her first semester at UNT. A student seeking secondary teacher certification may request a degree plan after completing approximately 30 hours. You must have a degree plan on file in order to graduate.
