UNT policy requires first year undergraduate students to live on campus. A student that graduated from high school the semester prior to enrolling at UNT and is enrolled for 9 or more semester hours is subject to that policy.
UNT Housing will consider requests for a commuter exemption for students that fall in to the following categories:
If you fall in to one of these categories and want to commute as a first year college student, the process is fairly simple.
At the point that Housing reviews and approve the Commuter Exemption request, the students application is noted as complete on their eHousing account. Housing will also sends confirmation of approval via email to student prior to the start of the semester that commuter status was requested.
