Courses for the B.A.A.S program are offered at the main campus in Denton, at the UNT at Frisco locations and at the Collin Higher Education Center in McKinney.

Some classes are offered during the summer. Depending on the course, summer classes are available in 3-week, 5-week, 8-week and 10-week formats. Consult with your UNT advisor about class availability during the summer. Course listings and schedules can be found at UNT’s Office of the Registrar.

Yes, many students in the B.A.A.S program work full-time or part-time while attending UNT. However, remember the need to balance school with work and your personal life when determining how many courses to take each semester. Refer to the Degree Plan page for more information.

You may take core classes at an accredited community college, another accredited college or university, or at UNT. Core courses taken at a community college or another Texas university may be transferred to UNT. Sometimes it is advisable to take an upper division core course (those numbered 3000 or higher) from UNT. Doing so may maximize the number of credits you are able to transfer from a community college. Your UNT advisor will help you decide what makes the most sense for you.

No, the Professional Foundations courses are required upper division courses that must be completed at UNT.

Yes, you can take classes at UNT at the same time you are taking classes at a community college except during the semester you plan to graduate. You must file a concurrent enrollment form in order to take classes at both UNT and community college in the same semester. Your UNT advisor has these forms.

Yes, you must submit a graduation application the semester that you plan to graduate before or at the beginning of your graduating semester. Detailed information on the graduation application process and deadlines can be found at UNT’s Office of the Registrar. The semester before you are planning to graduate, you should make an appointment with your UNT academic advisor at (940) 369-8129 or via appointments.unt.edu to arrange a graduation check. This ensures that you have successfully completed all the courses required for your B.A.A.S. degree.

UNT primarily uses Canvas, a classroom management system that is accessible to students 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, for online course access. Online courses are accessed exclusively through Canvas. Additionally, many instructors who teach traditional face-to-face courses use Canvas to post grades and assignments. The Canvas system provides technical assistance and training to new users through the Student Resources, which can help give you the skills you need to complete your courses. Further assistance with online learning can be found at UNT’s Distance Learning page.

You will receive an official degree plan when you meet with your academic advisor. However, an interactive degree audit is also available at mydegreeaudit.unt.edu. To access the degree audit program, log-in to your MyUNT account with your EUID and password.

Students are required to have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA. This average includes grades from all courses — those taken at UNT and other institutions. Students must also have at least a 2.0 grade point average from coursework completed only at UNT.

Upper division courses are typically offered at four-year colleges and universities in students’ junior and senior years. You cannot take upper-division courses at a community college. Upper division courses are numbered 3000 and higher at UNT. Often upper-division courses are also called advanced level courses.

The Professional Foundations requirement consists of three courses that must be taken from UNT. They form the heart of the B.A.A.S curriculum and are intended to improve your marketability in today’s workplace. In these courses, students sharpen their ability to communicate, negotiate, analyze information, and network effectively.

After you register for your courses, you can find required textbooks and even order them online at the UNT Bookstore. You can also check with other local bookstores and online retailers. Prices will vary by site and the types of books required.
