University of North Texas 
GREAT question! We are a one-stop-shop for any information about campus life. We are staffed by Transfer Ambassadors, which are current undergraduate students who have transferred to UNT themselves. They plan our events, answer the phones and emails, and serve as peer mentors to new transfer students! While we cannot make determinations of specific courses that will transfer beyond the Transfer Guides and Texas Common Course Number System courses (a Transfer Counselor in the Admissions Office can help with that!) you can contact our Transfer Ambassadors about steps to get started with the transfer process, as well as information about the UNT and Denton communities! Our Transfer Ambassadors also assist with Transfer Orientation and prospective student events! Once you arrive at UNT you will be able to participate in the events and transfer communities that we have planned and catered towards transfer students. We are located in Union 376.
If you're transferring from a University or Community College in Texas that uses the Texas Common Course Numbering System, you may be able to see how your credits transfer into your specific desired degree plan by selecting your desired major at http://registrar.unt.edu/transfer-guides. It is highly recommend that you take a Transfer Guide of your desired major to your academic advisor at your current institution so you plan ahead to make sure the classes you're taking at your current institution are on track with your desired degree plan!
You can also see the comparison guide of courses offered at each particular school to what is offered at UNT at https://www.tccns.org. This website allows you to enter in your previous institution as well as your future institution (Ex: DCCCD Eastfield compare with UNT) and then a course numbering guide will be on the next page with the equivalent of a class you've taken at one or the other!
Ex: If you're Transferring from A&M to UNT and you've taken Fundamentals of Chemistry: Chem 101 the equivalent course for UNT would be General Chemistry: Chem 1311 and the credit should transfer!
If you are coming from out of state or a private institution, you can check https://www.transferology.com/school/unt or contact a Transfer Counselor in the Admissions Office! If you don't see many courses from current or former institution, don't panic- this website is not always kept up to date.
The Transfer Counselors through the Office of Admissions are here to help! They can look at and evaluate your specific degree plan and talk you through your options. They can also assist you through the transfer process in general. Call or email a Transfer Counselor at https://transfernow.unt.edu/contact-us. Depending on your current institution, you may even be able to select a specific counselor who is the liaison for your school!
There are opportunities to receive grants, loans, scholarships, and work study here at UNT. You can find more information on how to apply for each of these at http://financialaid.unt.edu/. For financial aid, make sure you complete your FAFSA before the priority deadline (generally in early March), and then follow instructions on your my.unt.edu page to accept (or decline) your awards. As a transfer student, you must be admitted to UNT, maintain at least a half-time class load, and cancel all pending financial aid offers/awards from your previous institution(s). Remember to also fill out the General Scholarship Application by March 1st of each year to apply for UNT scholarships! Once you've updated your information on that site, you can search through UNT's opportunities and external scholarship offers.
If you are a prospective transfer student, we recommend speaking with a Transfer Counselor about your specific college first. They can be reached at the admissions office at (940)-565-2681 or by email at unt.transfer@unt.edu. We also recommend contacting your specific college. Only certain colleges list planned prospective student advising, however, all incoming transfer students will meet with their academic advisor at Orientation! The colleges who meet with prospective students are as follows:
College of Engineering: https://engineering.unt.edu/support
College of Education: https://www.coe.unt.edu/student-advising
College of Music: https://music.unt.edu/advising/prospective
College of Visual Arts and Design: https://cvad.unt.edu/advising
If you are a current student, check on your college or department's website for specific advising information! You should receive emails alerting you about dates for advising and course registration. Keep in mind, if you are a transfer student in your FIRST semester at UNT, you are required to meet with your academic advisor in order to register for classes. After the first semester, it is simply recommended as good practice to make sure you're on track to graduate!
Congratulations! Welcome to the Mean Green Family! First thing to do at this point is to set up your UNT email so you can start receiving all of the very important emails from UNT that will now start going to your student account. To do this, first make sure your account is activated at: https://ams.unt.edu/. Steps are provided to activate your myUNT and email account if you have not done so already.

The next step, is to register for your Orientation Session…
Yes, Orientation is mandatory for all new students prior to enrolling in classes at UNT. Orientation is designed to acquaint new students with UNT's approach to academic success, as well as the resources unique to this university. At Orientation, students will become familiar with the resource offered to them and receive academic advising before registering for classes. You can view a brief overview of orientation schedule and dates at http://orientation.unt.edu.
Students may register online through their MyUNT portal. Log into your MyUNT at https://my.unt.edu/ with your EUID and password and click the “Advising & Orientation” tile, then "Register for Orientation". If you need any assistance, please contact the office of Orientation and Transition Programs Office at 940-565-4198.
