Admission

How to apply

Welcome, Class of 2014. The University of North Texas is a selective university and does not guarantee admission of all applicants. It is recommended that you apply well in advance of stated application deadlines. All necessary credentials, such as the ApplyTexas Application for admission to Texas public universities, official transcripts and required entrance exams including the writing sections, must be on file in the Office of Admissions by the admission deadline as listed below. Admission decisions will not be made until after the application, the application fee and all academic credentials are received and evaluated.

All applicants new to the University of North Texas must pay a nonrefundable admission application fee of $40 for U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens, or $75 for international students and others. For U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens applying for Fall 2010 or thereafter, the application fee is $60.

High school graduates

Students admitted to the first semester of college work must have graduated from an accredited high school. To apply, students must present ACT or SAT Reasoning Test scores. Students must use the ApplyTexas application. It is highly recommended that the application be completed and submitted electronically via ApplyTexas. In addition, the student must submit a high school transcript showing credits and graduation class rank. Transcripts showing rank should be sent after completion of the junior year. Appropriateness of experience in lieu of a high school diploma (e.g., GED, home schooling, graduation from a nonaccredited high school, etc.) may be assessed on an individual review basis. To be more successful at UNT, you are strongly encouraged to take these classes in high school:

• English: 4 credits (English I-IV)
