Why do I have an “Advising Required” hold on my Student Center account?
It is university policy that new students and those recently transferred who have not completed at least two semesters at UNT Dallas will have an "Advising Required" hold on their account. Students who are on academic probation will also have an "Advising Required" hold on their account. Any student with an "Advising Required" hold in his/her student center is required to make an appointment to meet with an academic advisor prior to registration. (You may call 972-338-1645 to make your appointment or e-mail Advising@untdallas.edu) This is to advise students on selecting the best possible courses to ensure academic success.
Any student with a "TSI not complete" hold will need to speak with Bridgett Doddy prior to meeting with Academic Advising. (You make call 972-338-1769 to make your appointment or e-mail Bridgett.Doddy@untdallas.edu)

I am trying to register for a course, but it says that I need a “permission code.” What should I do?
Certain courses are restricted at UNT Dallas. These will be indicated on the schedule and in the “Class Notes” section on classes searched in my.unt.edu as “RESTRICTED COURSE. APPROVAL REQUIRED. CONTACT DEPARTMENT.” In most cases as indicated, you should contact the department first for approval. If the course requires some intervention on our part in Advising, they will refer you to us.
Can I take classes at a community college while I am attending UNT Dallas?
Yes, a student should first secure the permission of the appropriate dean or academic advisor at UNT Dallas. To gain approval for non-TCCNS equivalent courses, students will need to complete an academic exception form. Once the course has been completed, submit a copy of your updated transcript to the Office of the Registrar.
Please note: Concurrent enrollment is not allowed for Seniors in their final graduating semester.
Can I bring my transcript to be updated by my advisor?
Unfortunately, no. Please submit your sealed transcripts to be updated at the Registrar’s office. However, you are encouraged to bring current transcripts as supporting documents for evaluation towards degree requirements in the interim until the Registrar’s office has completed their update.
I want to change my major, do I need to see an advisor?
Yes, it is required that you consult with an advisor before changing your major. In order to change your major, you must meet with an advisor, complete a change of major form, and turn the change of major form into the Registrar's Office.
