All undergraduate students who enter a Texas public institution of higher education must be assessed to determine the student's readiness to enroll in freshman-level academic course work, in accordance with the Texas Success Initiative, or TSI.
UNT requires students to take the THEA - Texas Higher Education Assessment (formerly TASP) - and will accept scores on the ASSET, COMPASS or ACCUPLACER tests. These tests measure college-level readiness in reading, mathematics and writing.
For additional THEA information, call the UNT START Office at 940-565-4403. The THEA test cannot be used in admissions decisions at UNT, but is necessary for adequate preregistration advising.
*Note: All freshman applicants to UNT must submit SAT or ACT scores, including the writing portion of the exams. Admission policies are reviewed periodically and are subject to change. Call 800-868-8211 for more information.
Per the Texas Education Code, Sections 51.801-51.809, and changes made to several sections by House Bill 3826, in addition to a Texas general academic teaching institution’s admissions requirements, a first-time freshman, regardless of when the student graduated from high school, must also have either:
NOTE: The ACT College Readiness Benchmarks are: English=18, Math=22, Reading=21, Science Reasoning=24.
Under TEC Section 51.807 and with consultation of the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has determined that the high schools are responsible for providing the appropriate documentation to confirm the curriculum requirements.
For the student graduating from an out-of-state or international high school, the necessary curriculum information will be provided by completing the appropriate form that is available by clicking here:
Applicants meeting the curriculum or the ACT/SAT assessment score requirements mandated by the Texas Education Code, but not meeting UNT’s admission requirements, may be reviewed individually by the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
We understand that as an ECHS student, you are not the same as most incoming freshmen, so it makes sense that your admissions process should be a little different too. UNT has a dedicated admissions counselor for ECHS students, who can help you with planning, transferring your credits, and admissions. Find out more about ECHS admissions requirements.
At Freshman Orientation, you’ll get academic advising and advice on how to be successful in college. You’ll register for your first semester of classes and meet other members of the UNT Class of 2017.
