Can you transfer to University of North Texas (UNT) from a community college?

I'm thinking about transferring from my community college to the University of North Texas. Has anyone done this before, and what’s the process like? I'm really interested in learning how transfer-friendly UNT is.

Absolutely, transferring from a community college to UNT is entirely possible and is a relatively common path. UNT has a solid system in place to facilitate the transition of transfer students. Here are the primary steps involved:

1. Admission Requirements: UNT requires that transfer applicants have at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale in a minimum of 30 non-remedial semester hours at a regionally accredited college or university.

2. Application: You'll need to complete an application via ApplyTexas or The Common Application. You'll also need to pay an application fee.

3. Transcript Submission: You'll have to send in your official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended.

4. Attend Transfer Orientation: Once admitted, you'll need to participate in a transfer student orientation, which helps familiarize you with the campus and resources.

UNT is quite transfer-friendly and has partnerships with several community colleges through its Eagle Bound program, making the transition even smoother. If you've completed certain associate degree programs, you could be eligible to transfer in as a junior due to these partnerships.

In terms of credit, UNT generally accepts academic courses from regionally accredited institutions, and you can use UNT’s Transferology tool to see how your courses will transfer.

Keep in mind that some degree programs require higher GPAs and additional prerequisites, so it would be a good idea to reach out to the admissions office for specifics. Best of luck on your transfer process!
