How do I apply?

Fill out the International Student Application for Admission. In order for your application to be considered for UNT Admissions, you need to submit:

  1. The Application and $75 application fee,
  2. Official academic credentials,
  3. Proof of English Proficiency,
  4. Proof of financial support.

What's the deadline?

Applications should be sent to International Admissions three to six months before the beginning of intended term so there will be enough time to process admissions and immigration paperwork. Many Graduate departments (especially Computer Science, Music and Psychology) have earlier deadlines for admission and financial assistance.

Estimates are listed on the Deadlines page. Check the official UNT Academic Calendar for exact dates.

How long will it take to process my application?

For Undergraduate students, once we receive all of the required documents (application, application fee, English language proficiency, all official transcripts), the admissions decision can usually be made within two weeks. The admission decision is made in the International Admissions Office, so the process is fairly quick.

For Graduate students, once we receive all of the required documents (application, application fee, English language proficiency, all official transcripts), the International Admissions Office will be able to conduct its evaluation of your admissions file. After the evaluation, we send copies of your file to the Graduate School, where they do their own evaluation and attach your GRE/GMAT scores. If they approve your application, they send it to the department for the final admission decision. Since two other offices are involved, we have no way to determine the length of time that the entire process will take. However, the International Admissions Office can normally evaluate your file and submit it to the Graduate School within two weeks of receiving all of your required documents.
