2012 UNT Advising Guidebook

Dear freshmen,
Welcome to UNT! We are honored that you’ve chosen UNT to pursue your
degree. All of us are excited to be a part of your future success, and we’re
here to help you reach your goals.
We promise you a high-quality education and a fulfilling college experience
so you can learn and grow. We have a big campus community — big enough
that there is something for everyone, but not so big that you will be on your
own. You can depend on your UNT family to help you, from your professors to
your advisors to your fellow students. If you need information about academic
services such as scholarships, tutoring services, study abroad programs,
Honors College and more, you can find it at Sage Hall. And be sure to cheer
on the Mean Green at our new state-of-the-art Apogee Stadium and our tried-
and-true Super Pit. Join us Nov. 3 for your first Homecoming.
The quality of your education also depends on you, so you can help yourself by:
• Asking questions
• Getting to know your professors — just go up after class and introduce yourself
• Remembering that we are not teaching anything that you can’t learn, but you may have to go over it
more than once before it sticks
• Taking advantage of the opportunities to do research, to study abroad and to get involved in student
organizations and campus life
There are plenty of ways to connect with other Eagles and keep up with UNT news and events:
• Facebook.com/NorthTexas
• Twitter.com/UNTNews
• Join UNT’s private Facebook App to connect to new students with similar interests and majors.
• UNT To Go, our mobile website, keeps UNT at your fingertips. Find the latest Mean Green sports
scores, learn about upcoming events, watch UNT videos and much more. To visit UNT To Go, open
m.unt.edu in your phone’s web browser.
You’ve joined UNT at a great time, when we have redoubled our commitment to giving you the best and
being the best. We’re also welcoming some of our most academically talented students, including your
freshman class. We’re excited that you are part of our progress and we can’t wait to be a green light to your
greatness!
Sincerely,
V. Lane Rawlins
UNT President

What it Means to be a College Student
a. Welcome, class of 2016, to the first few days of your college experience!

Now that you are in college, you will find that your experiences will be different than they were in high school. In college, you
are responsible for your education - taking notes, keeping up with your assignments, communicating with your professors,
and attending class. Find advice from current students and alumni below.
Advice from current students and alumni
Don’t let the title of the
class fool you. Some of the
most seemingly interesting
classes can be the most
difficult or really boring and
some of the most seemingly
tedious classes can be quite
easy and maybe even fun!
Irae, Sociology
Read your textbooks! They
hold valuable test answers
and are too expensive to be
used just as dust collectors.
Ashley, Psychology
Put your schedule in your
phone. That way you never
plan things during class.
Precious, Sociology
Get involved on campus.
What you do outside the
classroom is just as important
as what you do inside it.
Ri’chard, Sociology
Don’t be afraid to ask
questions because most
of the time the answers
could be the solution to our
problems.
Morganne, Kinesiology
Once in college, get
involved with the university!
UNT has tons of organizations
and programs to choose
from.
Valeria, Undecided
No more tardy bells, hall
passes, or detention. Going
to school is entirely your
choice now. Choose wisely.
Brittany, Social Work
Going to class should be
your number one priority
(even those pesky 8 am’s).
Getting involved should
be your second priority;
everyone needs a home
away from home.
Katie, Interdisciplinary Studies
Always ask for help no
matter how embarrassed
or helpless you may feel.
At UNT, there is always
someone there to listen or
help you out!
Anna, Sociology
Who you know is just as
important as what you know. A major factor in your college
experience is networking.
Taelor, Advertising
Don’t get caught up having
too much fun. Make sure
your priorities are straight;
you came here to receive
an education so put that first.
Take advantage of ALL of the
resources and opportunities
here on campus. Explore and
Learn! UNT is giving you the
green light: Now GO!
Kolbi, Interdisciplinary
Studies
It’s easier to start with a high
GPA and let it fall a little as the
classes get harder than to start
low and work your way up.
Mikey, Biochemistry
College is where you will
establish who you want to
become so keep an open
mind, be authentic and have
fun
.
Sarah, Development and
Family Studies
Did you know? U.S. News &World Report 2012 ranked the Graduate Counseling Program from the Department of Counseling and Higher
Education 12th nationwide and 1st in Texas; this was the 10th time the program was ranked 1st in Texas and in the top 20 nationally.1

b. How to be a successful college student…
The principle purpose of this orientation is to prepare you for the intellectual, cultural, and social climate of UNT. Therefore,
over the next few days you will receive information that will help you register for classes, learn about campus resources, and
get involved in student life. But for now, let’s fast-forward to the first day of the semester.
You’re sitting in the classroom. You don’t know anyone and you don’t know a thing about calculus… Now what? At some
point, people might notice a dazed look in your eyes and begin to offer you advice--some will be good, and some, like the
following, is just
bad advice:
– “In college, professors don’t take roll; you don’t have to go to class.”
– “There’s no need to do homework since it’s never graded.”
– “Taking notes is useless; the material is all in the textbook anyway.”
So, what we have for you are some tips—some
good advice—that the Learning Center (Union 323) has put together to help
prepare you for a successful college experience.
The Learning Center’s
Tips For Greatness
• Attend & participate in EVERY class
• Visit professors during oﬃce hours
• Refer often to your course syllabus
• Ask questions
• Use a planner
• Attend campus events & join organizations
• Prepare thoroughly for exams &
assignments (DON’T CRAM!)
• Start a study group
• Use your campus resources

EARBAAegatOC c. New Vocabulary (I have no idea what these things mean!)
As you begin your college career, you will hear people use words that don’t make any sense to you or you
aren’t exactly sure what they mean. Every institution has its own vocabulary, especially a university.
Work together to define these new terms that you will encounter in college
.
Did you know? UNT is a nearly 900-acre campus that includes Discovery Park, a 300-acre research park, which is one of the largest university
research parks in the North Texas region. 3

Catalog –
This on-line resource has degree plan requirements, course descriptions, and course pre-requisites listed.
Census Dates –
The census date is when a student’s enrollment is considered official. Various offices may use this information (i.e. Financial
Aid, International Admissions, Athletics, etc.) to verify enrollment. At UNT, a student can drop a class online before the census
date without instructor approval and no grade will be assigned. After the census date, the student must get instructor approval
(signed drop slip) to drop a course and a grade of W or WF is recorded for the course.
Fall 2012 census date: ______________
Classification –
This is a way the university identifies you by completed credit hours (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior).
Concurrent Enrollment –
Requires pre-approval from your advisor when you take classes at two different colleges at the same time.
Early Reg –
A time period during which you can select your courses for the following semester. The dates for this event are listed in the
Schedule of Classes.
Greenbook or Bluebook –
A blank book used in taking college examinations with a green or blue cover. This book can be purchased at the UNT
bookstore along with Scantrons.
Overload –
You must see your advisor for approval if you are interested in taking more than 19 hours in a semester.
Online Classes –
You may need to contact the department where the course is offered to determine how to access your online classes.
Reading Day –
The day before final exams begin each semester. No classes meet this day to give you time to study for exams.
Scantron –
Papers on which students mark answers to academic test questions.
Withdraw from semester–
When you choose to remove yourself from all of your classes. Requires permission from the Registrar’s Office.
W –
A W will show up in place of a grade on your transcript when you drop a class between the census date and the last day to
drop with an automatic W.
See your advisor before dropping a class.
WF –
A WF will be recorded on your transcript when you drop a class that you are failing after the last day to drop with an automatic
W. This negatively affects your grade point average.
See your advisor before dropping a class.
SAP –
An abbreviation for Satisfactory Academic Progress. You must meet at least the minimum standards for SAP by the end of any
given enrollment period at UNT to maintain financial aid eligibility. See Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.

Did you know? UNT has been named a Green College by The Princeton Review.4

Building Your Degree
a. What is a Bachelor's Degree?
A bachelor’s degree shows you have completed coursework and met the requirements of a specialized curriculum. Your
degree is completed when you have met all of the requirements, taken the right courses in the correct sequence, earned
enough semester credit hours and earned the appropriate grades. Navigating your way through college means learning
the basics needed to understand and progress through your academic career.
• Credit hours
Every course you take is measured by units called credit hours. In most cases, credit hours represent the number of
hours each week you are expected to attend each specific class. Most courses are three credit hours, so taking a 15
hour course load means you are in class 15 hours per week. Courses may range from one to six credit hours.
Realistically, you will need to study at least two hours outside of class for every hour you are in class. That means a
three credit hour course will require about six hours of work (reading, studying, and related activities) outside the
classroom, totaling nine hours of commitment per week. If you are taking 15 credit hours per semester, you will need
to set aside at least 40 to 45 hours of total time per week for your academic work (15 hours in class plus 30 hours
outside of class).
The average course load of 15 hours requires as much time commitment as a full-time job.
• The Elements of a Bachelor’s Degree (minimum 120 credit hours, depending on major):
a. 42 credit hours of university core requirements
b. Major requirements (varies by major)
c. Minor requirements (varies by major)
d. Electives
• Examples of Bachelor’s degrees
a. Bachelor of Arts (BA)
b. Bachelor of Science (BS)
c. Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)
d. Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
e. Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS)
f. Bachelor of Music (BM)
g. Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET)
b. University Core Curriculum
The university core is a set of general education courses that you must complete before you can earn a degree from UNT. The university core curriculum encourages you to explore the natural and cultural environment in which you live and to gain an appreciation of your role as a responsible global citizen. Core classes develop your critical thinking skills through writing, reading, speaking, experiential learning, community outreach, and research. The core curriculum is designed to cultivate an enthusiasm for learning and an intellectual capacity that you will use throughout your life.
In addition, the university core provides the opportunity to explore many areas of study such as:
British Literature Music Appreciation Environmental Science
Public Speaking World History Gender Across Cultures
Ethics and Moral Issues Exploring Diversity through Social Action
Did you know? UNT has more than 400 student organizations, including 144 academic groups and honor societies. 5

d. Minors and Electives
Minors
• Minors are like “mini-majors.” They typically require you to complete 18 to 21 credit hours.
• Some majors require a minor.
Electives
• Electives are any credit hours necessary to reach the minimum number of total credit hours required for your degree
after all other requirements have been satisfied.
• Advanced electives may be required in order to meet the university advanced credit hour requirement. UNT requires
a minimum of 42 advanced hours in order to graduate.
- Free Electives 1000-4000 level classes
- Advanced Electives 3000-4000 level classes
Please visit with your advisor about minors and electives. The situation will be different for every student.
e. Types of Courses
All UNT courses are coded using a three or four letter subject abbreviation and a four digit number.
An example is US History to 1865, which is coded as HIST 2610
Different types of courses at UNT:
• Blended course – A course that uses both physical classroom and online instruction.
• Corequisite (Coreq) – A course that must be taken at the same time as another course.
• Internet course – A course in which instruction and assignments are solely online.
• Laboratory (Lab) – An application of the information that you learn in class and meets at a separate time.
• Lecture course – A course held in a physical classroom space.
• NextGeneration (NGEN) – A course that integrates experiential learning in addition to the physical classroom and
online instruction.
• Prerequisite (Prereq) – A course that must be completed in order to move on to the next course.
• Recitation – A separate class meeting used to cover coursework and answer questions.
• Restricted course – A course that is restricted so only certain students may enroll in that course. Examples: TAMS,
Honors College, majors only, Study Abroad.

Degree Progression/Timely Graduation
Timely graduation for UNT means graduating with your bachelor’s degree in four calendar years with no more than 30
attempted hours beyond the hours required for your specific degree. Additionally, if you graduate with no more than three
attempted hours beyond your stated degree hours, you may receive money back (see Tuition Rebate on page 22).
By using an efficient timeline, you can spare the expense of additional costs, requirements, mandates, and/or fees. Your
undergraduate catalog, online schedule of classes, and advising staff will help you create and review your timely graduation plan
.
Why am I thinking about graduation now?
There is a process to graduation and that process starts today! You should be thinking about the big picture from your first day
at orientation to your graduation day. Please visit your advising office for the best route for your academic goals. Advisors can
help you obtain your official degree plan, apply for graduation and with all the steps in between.
a. Degree Audit/Degree Plan
Timely graduation includes knowing degree requirements, how to sequence classes, and departmental policies such as
admission or exit criteria. To guide you through your major, request an official degree audit/degree plan from your advisor.
The audit/plan shows all requirements necessary for your degree. You should get an updated audit/plan each semester and
chart your progress. You can view an unofficial interactive audit at my.unt.edu (see detailed information below).
b. Student Center
The Student Center is the hub of all of your academic and financial information.
• Available at my.unt.edu
• Information available
ooYour current schedule
ooFuture course offerings
ooAccount balance
ooFinancial aid
ooHolds
ooYour specific enrollment

c. Interactive Audit
The interactive audit, found in your Student Center, is a tool you will use before meeting with your advisor and registering for
courses. Your interactive audit will show you:
• Degree requirements
• University GPA
• How courses you take will apply to
your degree requirements
• “What if” degree audits, if you are
considering changing your major
Lastly, as you visit with your academic
advisor, he/she will update your degree
requirements and those changes are
reflected automatically in your Interactive
Audit.
Using this tool in collaboration with your
academic advisor will help you make the
most of your time, money and course
selection while attending UNT. For more
information about the Interactive Audit,
please contact your academic advising
office to schedule an appointment.
d. Academic Classification
Your classification is based on the number of hours you have
earned.

Classifications
Freshman 0-29 hours
Sophomore 30-59 hours
Junior 60-89 hours
Senior 90 hours and above
For Example:
Early Registration: Students may register early
according to their current classification (not what
it will be after the semester is over!)
Point to Ponder: Most degrees are approximately 120 semester credit hours. How many credit hours should you take each
semester to be done in four years?
Freshman Year Sophomore Year (what classes will you take?)
Fall (15 Hours) Spring (15 Hours) Fall (15 Hours) Spring (15 Hours)

Did you know? UNT has more than 1,300 students in its Honors College, which is the largest in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.16

e. Academic Status
i. Grade Point Average
What is your Grade Point Average (GPA)?
Your GPA is the average of all points earned for all the classes you have taken. You will have a UNT GPA (CGPA)
averaging only UNT classes and an overall GPA averaging UNT and transfer work. Please be mindful that the GPA impacts
honors, financial aid, graduation, and your status as a UNT student. Please be sure to check your UNT & OVERALL GPA
each semester so you know where you stand.
Grade point value:
A = 4 points per credit hour
B = 3 points per credit hour
C = 2 points per credit hour
D = 1 point per credit hour
F/WF = 0 points per credit hour
1. Multiply hours attempted by grade value earned for each class
2. Total your number of Grade Points
3. Divide total points by total of all your attempted hours
4. That’s your GPA!
* Use the same formula to calculate all GPAs.
Here’s an example…
Olivia made 1 A, 2 Bs, and 2 Cs her first semester at UNT.
ii. Types of GPAs
During your college career, you will find reference to
several different GPAs, such as:
• Semester GPA - The GPA you earned only for the courses you
took at UNT for the specific semester
• UNT GPA (CGPA) - Your cumulative GPA for all of the hours you have attempted at UNT (determines academic status).
Does NOT include transfer work
• Overall GPA - A combination of your UNT and transfer GPA (graduation GPA)
• Major GPA - GPA required in your major. Can either be a premajor GPA requirement to enter the program and/or to
graduate from the program
Careful! F’s are still attempted hours and count heavily against you!
Credit hours earned by AP, CLEP, IB, and/or Credit
by Examination do not average into your GPA
W—or drop passing, do not count against you
WF—is the same grade as an F (more on this later)

iii. Semester Hours
Remember that your UNT GPA determines if you receive semester honors. Honors are awarded for fall and spring semester
only.
• President’s List – Earn 4.0 semester GPA in a minimum of 12 hours of graded coursework in residence at UNT
• Dean’s List – Earn at least a 3.5 semester GPA in a minimum of 12 hours of graded coursework in residence at UNT
iv. Graduate with Honors
To graduate with honors, you must start now. Your overall GPA (UNT and
transfer hours combined) must meet specific requirements:
• 3.500 to 3.699 –
cum laude
• 3.700 to 3.899 – magna cum laude
• 3.900 to 4.000 – summa cum laude
v. Academic Standing
The university will keep track of your UNT CGPA and semester
GPA to determine your academic standing.
**
The minimum cumulative UNT grade point average (UNT CGPA) a student must achieve to remain in good standing is 1.8 in
the first enrollment period, 2.0 for all subsequent semesters.
Graduating with Honors is not the
same as graduating through the
Honors College.

1. How many grade points did you earn in each class? ______________________________________________________________
2. How many total grade points did you earn for the semester? ______________________________________________________
3. How many total hours did you attempt? _____________________________________________________________________________
4. Now calculate your new CGPA.

CGPA = (Grade Points) ________ ÷ (Attempted Hours) ________ = Semester GPA ________
5. What is your academic status? ____________________________________________________________________________________
f. Drops, Withdrawals and Incompletes
Things do not always go as planned. There are policies in place for those unplanned moments during a semester.
i. What is the difference between dropping a class and withdrawing from the semester?
Dropping means you remove or “drop” one or more courses from your schedule, but that you are still enrolled in at least
one course at UNT.
Withdrawing means you drop all courses and are no longer enrolled in the University.
ii. Six-Drop Rule
You are only allowed to drop a total of six courses during your entire college career. This includes any transfer courses
taken at a Texas public university or community college. This does not apply to courses dropped prior to the 12th class day
(census date) or courses dropped with a grade of WF and do not apply if the student withdraws for the term or session.

iii. To Drop or Not to Drop?
Before dropping, ask yourself these questions:
• When are the drop deadlines? What are the procedures? (www.unt.edu/
registration)
• Have I met with my advisor and instructor?
• Have I utilized any of the academic resources?
• How far behind am I on my assignments and assigned readings?
• What kind of grades have I earned so far on assignments? On quizzes? On
exams?
• How many more chances do I have to earn a grade in this particular
course?
• How has my attendance been in this particular course?
• What is my status with International Admissions?
• Might I lose my financial aid eligibility if I drop this class?
• Is this a pre-requisite or a co-requisite?
• Will I earn a “W” or a “WF”? (ask your instructor)
• How many times have I taken this course at UNT?
• How many courses have I dropped?
Talk to your instructor and academic advisor; they are there to support your
success. Consider what changes you can make yourself to improve your
academic performance.
iv. Add/Drop Period and Deadlines
Once you have made the decision to drop, you need to be aware of the
deadlines posted on the Academic/Registration Calendar on the Registrar’s
Office website (www.unt.edu/registration) for each of the following periods in
which you can change your schedule.
The date you drop or withdraw may determine if you receive a grade of “W” or “WF.” Here are the three
periods that determine your grade of “W” or “WF.”
Add/Drop Period:
First week of the semester.
Can be done online or in person at the Registrar’s Office.
Does NOT require instructor approval.
Automatic W Period: NOT ON-LINE
You must gain written permission from the instructor on an Official Drop Slip. You then take
the Drop Slip to the Registrar’s office.
An automatic “W” is awarded during this period regardless of your grade in the class. A
“W” will not affect your grade point average.
W or WF Period: NOT ON-LINE
This is the final opportunity to drop a course.
You must gain written permission from the instructor on an Official Drop Slip. The Instructor
must indicate on the form a grade of “W” or “WF.”
A “W” will not affect your grade point average.
A “WF” will have the same effect as an “F” for the class.
Always confirm your drop with a printout receipt from the
Registrar’s Office.

Did you know? The College of Business at UNT is one of the nation’s largest business colleges.20

v. Incompletes
An “Incomplete” may be awarded in emergency situations, but only if approved by your instructor. The course must be 75%
completed and you must be passing. The coursework must be completed within a year of granting the grade of “I” or will
change to an “F” on your transcript.
vi. Exercise: Dropping, Withdrawing or Incomplete?
1. You failed your chemistry exam. This is the second exam and you barely made a “D” on your first test. You would like to
earn above a “C” in the course, so you can get into medical school. This is the automatic “W” period. What do you do?
• Drop the course and retake a subsequent semester?
• Keep going and hope that it gets better?
• Stop going and give up all your dreams of med school?
• Discuss with both your instructor and Pre-med counselor about the best option?
2. You are on your way to an exam and receive an emergency phone call that requires you to go back to your hometown
for the remainder of the semester. What do you do?
• Go home and explain to the instructors when you return. Surely, they will understand?
• Contact your friends in the classes and ask them to tell the instructor your situation?
• Call the instructors and leave a voice message?
• E-mail instructor about the situation?
g. Excess Hours/Excessive Undergraduate Hours
Any student who has attempted more than 30 hours over the hours required on his or her degree plan will be subject to an
additional excessive hour tuition rate. Please refer to www.unt.edu/tuition for current tuition and fee information.
The Excessive Undergraduate Hours Tuition applies only to hours taken at Texas public institutions.
h. Duplications and Repeated Courses
A student may take a course a second or subsequent time. The Registrar’s Office will process duplications at the request
of the student, at the request of an academic advisor or upon review of the student’s record. Until a duplication is posted
the Registrar’s Office includes a repeated course in the student’s cumulative record of hours attempted and grade points
earned. The Registrar includes without exception any course repeated more than once in the student’s cumulative record or
hours attempted and grade points earned. Departments may count the highest grade for departmental GPA requirements;
however, the academic dean uses only the last grade recorded in certifying the student’s eligibility for graduation.
Undergraduate students classified as Texas residents or who pay Texas resident tuition rate who attempt certain courses
more
than twice
at the University of North Texas are subject to an additional tuition rate of $75.00 per semester credit hour for the
repeated course. This additional charge will be billed after the beginning of each semester. Please refer to the following link
for more detail: http://essc.unt.edu/registrar/repeated.html
Please exhaust all possibilities to complete your course when thinking
about dropping a class. It will possibly delay your graduation and waste
your time and money.
Caution!
Track your attempted hours. If you go above
30 hours required for your degree plan, you may
have to pay extra.
Did you know? UNT’s College of Music Jazz Studies program is known around the world for it’s innovative approach to teaching jazz. The
One O’Clock Lab Band performs internationally and has received nominations for the Grammy Awards. 21

i. UNT’s Timely Graduation Tuition Program
At UNT, all full-time undergraduate students will pay the same amount
for university tuition and fees in a fall or spring semester regardless
of how many hours they take. (Students will be required to pay state
tuition and fees on all hours including those above 12 hours, which
averages about $50 per credit hour.) You are considered full-time
once you register for 12 hours or more in a long semester.
To get on the “Fast Track” to graduating sooner and saving money,
set a goal to graduate in four years. Talk to your advisor about what
courses to take. Then, at registration, enroll in at least 15 hours a
semester. Now you’re on the “Fast Track” to graduating on time!
Students are encouraged to think of 15 hours as their minimum course load. This
makes sense because after all, it generally takes 15 hours a semester to graduate in
four years. Visit www.unt.edu/tuition for more information!
j. Financial Benefit of Timely Graduation
Tuition Rebate
You may be eligible for a $1000 rebate if you
• are a first-time enrollee in a Texas college/university and
• are a Texas resident and
• complete your bachelor’s degree having attempted no more than 3 attempted hours in excess of the minimum
number of semester hours required for that degree.

For additional information and to apply for the rebate during the semester of application for graduation, please contact the Registrar’s Office.
Estimated Annual Cost of Attendance
The financial benefit of graduating on time can also be a difference of up to $60,000 for each year enrolled beyond four years:
the cost of one year of attendance plus your possible first-year salary of $35,000.

work best? Is the course offered
online? Remember this may not
allow for face-to-face meetings.
• Would delaying a certain course this
semester put you “off track” for your
projected graduation date?
• Can you effectively use time
between classes: reading your
textbooks, studying for a test, or
running errands?
• You need to create a balance
between your academic and social
lives—both are important pieces to
your college experience.
