Academic Information

Academic Advising

Academic advising is available to assist students in the development and pursuit of meaningful educational goals. Advisors and counselors are available to assist students with the following:

• Clarification of life and career goals • Development of suitable educational plans • Selection of appropriate courses and other educational experiences• Evaluation of student progress toward established goals

Specially trained advisors in the Undergraduate Advising Office (HKRY 120) serve as academic advisors for the College of Engineering majors. Faculty advisors assist students in clarifying their academic interests and career goals and are available in the academic department. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor every semester.

Degree Requirements

The basic structure of all bachelor’s degrees consists of a large set of general education requirements common to all degrees (University Core Curriculum – 47 hours at UNT), a small set of requirements unique to the school or college offering the degree (College Requirements), a set of requirements defining a major field of study as determined by a department (Major/Professional Field/Concentration – a minimum of 24 hours), a smaller set (minimum of 18 hours) for a lesser field of study (Minor) and electives chosen freely or in consultation with an advisor to reach the minimum number of hours required for the degree. All degrees require that 24 of the last 30 hours be earned at UNT and that at least 42 hours are at the advanced level (3XXX and 4XXX courses).

Degree Audit What is a Degree Audit?

A degree audit is an official document of the University. It lists all the courses needed to complete your chosen degree and shows how all the courses you have completed are being applied toward your degree.

When should I get a Degree Audit? You should request a degree audit during your first semester at UNT.

You cannot graduate unless you have requested a degree audit!

How do I get a Degree Audit?1. Contact the faculty advisor of your major for an appointment to request a degree audit. If you have

transfer work you will need an evaluated copy of all transcripts and a catalog description of all courses completed. (Transcripts may be ordered at the Registrar’s Office in the ESSC). You must bring your evaluated transcripts to your appointment with your faculty advisor.

2. The faculty advisor for your major will complete the degree audit request form. If you are declaring a minor, you may do so at the time you meet with your faculty advisor.

3. A copy of the degree audit will be mailed to your permanent address (unless otherwise advised), and a copy will be sent to the department of your major. Check MyUNT to ensure that your address is correct.

4. It is your responsibility to update each semester’s progress on your copy of the degree audit. If you feel you need assistance, you should schedule an appointment with your advisor.

Graduation Application

You must apply for graduation at the beginning of the semester in which you intend to graduate. The application may be obtained at the Registrar’s Office. The application must be submitted to the Undergraduate Advising Office in HKRY 120. You must submit your application by the deadline listed in the Schedule of Classes.

Academic Status

Good StandingStudents with at least a cumulative 2.00 UNT GPA are considered in Good Standing.

Academic AlertFreshmen (students with less than 30 attempted hours) whose cumulative UNT GPA falls below 2.00 for the first time are placed on Academic Alert. Students can only be placed on Academic Alert once; they must raise their cumulative UNT GPA to 2.00 or higher during their Academic Alert semester or they will be placed on Probation.

4

ProbationStudents not eligible for Academic Alert whose cumulative UNT GPA falls below 2.00 will be placed on Probation. Students on Probation during a Fall or Spring semester must raise their cumulative UNT GPA to 2.00 to return to Good Standing or earn a semester GPA of at least 2.25 to remain on Probation and

avoid suspension. Suspension

During a Fall or Spring semester, Probation students who fail to raise their cumulative UNT GPA to a 2.00 or earn a 2.25 semester GPA are placed on Suspension for one or more semesters. A first Suspension is for one long semester, a second Suspension is for two long semesters and a third Suspension is for a minimum of four long semesters. After students complete their Suspension period, they may return to UNT on Probation.

Summer Sessions and Academic StatusStudents who are on Probation cannot be placed on Suspension as a result of summer grades at UNT; however, students in Good Standing may be placed on Probation as a result of summer grades at UNT. Suspension students are eligible and are strongly encouraged to take summer courses at UNT. Students on Suspension who attend UNT during the summer and raise their cumulative UNT GPA to 2.00 are eligible to attend UNT during the Fall semester.

Semester Honors

President’s ListStudents completing at least 12 hours of credit in regularly graded courses taken in residence during the Fall or Spring semester with a grade point average of 4.0 are eligible for recognition on the President's List. Students are notified of this recognition by the President’s Office.

Dean’s ListStudents with a grade point average of 3.50 to 3.99 are eligible for recognition on the Dean's List if they have completed at least 12 hours of credit in regularly graded courses taken in residence during the Fall or Spring semester. Students are notified of this recognition by the Undergraduate Advising Office

(HKRY 120).

Graduation with Honors

Candidates for graduation whose overall grade point average is between 3.500 and 3.799 are eligible to graduate cum laude; those whose GPA is between 3.800 and 3.999 are eligible to graduate magna cum laude; and those whose GPA is 4.000 (all A's) are eligible to graduate summa cum laude. The grade point average is based on grades earned in UNT and transferred credit courses. Hours earned from pass/no pass courses and through correspondence and extension courses may not be counted in calculating the GPA for determination of eligibility for graduation with honors. Candidates for a second bachelor's degree are not eligible for graduation with honors.

Enrollment at UNT & Another Institution (Concurrent Enrollment)

Approval for concurrent enrollment at another university/college must be obtained in advance from the Undergraduate Advising Office (HKRY 120).The following guidelines apply for approval of Concurrent Enrollment:

• The student’s combined course load at both institutions cannot exceed the course load allowed at UNT for that term.

• Students must meet residency requirements for concurrent enrollment to be granted. • Students who are concurrently enrolled during the semester they plan to complete all degree

requirements must wait until the following semester to file for graduation.• Course work taken concurrently at another university/college may not be accepted by UNT without

prior written approval.

Course Load • The normal course load for a full-time student is 15 hours for a Fall or Spring semester, 6 hours for

the Summer term and 3 hours for 3 Week I.• A student may schedule up to a maximum of 19 hours per Fall or Spring semester and 15 hours for

the Summer term. • A student must be registered for a minimum of 12 hours to qualify as a full-time student. Students

receiving financial aid must consult the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office for course load requirements.

5

Overload Approval

Fall or Spring SemestersA student with a GPA of less than 3.0 may register for a maximum of 19 hours. Students who wish to

register for more than 19 hours (maximum 22 hours) in a Fall or Spring semester must meet one of the following conditions and obtain approval in advance from the Undergraduate Advising Office (HKRY 120):

• At least a 3.0 GPA on a minimum 15-hour UNT residence load for the semester just completed.• At least a 3.0 GPA on a minimum 12-hour UNT residence load for the summer terms just completed.• At least a 3.0 GPA on all work completed at UNT and a minimum 24 hours of credit in residence.Summer SemesterA student with a GPA of less than 3.0 may register for a maximum of 15 hours for the summer. Students who wish

to register for more hours must meet one of the following conditions and obtain approval in advance from the Undergraduate Advising Office (HKRY 120):

• At least a 3.0 GPA on a minimum 15-hour residence load for the semester just completed.• At least a 3.0 GPA on all work completed at UNT and a minimum 24 hours of credit in residence.

COURSE DUPLICATIONS

If a student’s transcripts contain the same course number more than twice, only the second course will be treated as a duplication. The Registrar’s Office will include, without exception, any course repeated more than once in the student’s cumulative GPA. However, only the last grade will be used in certifying the student’s eligibility for graduation.

Dropping Courses or Withdrawal from UNT

It is the student’s responsibility to consult the Academic Calendar in the Schedule of Classes or at www.unt.edu/catsched for the procedures and deadlines for dropping a course or withdrawing from UNT. If a student has missed the drop or withdraw deadline, then the student will receive the earned grade on his or her transcript. A student cannot drop or withdraw from UNT after the deadline has passed.

Pass/No Pass Grading Option

Students who select the Pass/No Pass Grading Option must obtain approval from the Dean’s Office for Undergraduates and Student Advising (HKRY 120). The following guidelines apply for students requesting the Pass/No Pass Grading Option:

1. A maximum of 18 semester hours of credit under the pass/no pass option may be applied toward the bachelor's degree. Only courses to be counted as freely chosen electives on the student's degree audit may be scheduled under the Pass/No Pass option.

2. Any undergraduate student in good standing with a C average (2.0) or better on all work attempted in residence at UNT may schedule one course a semester on the pass/no pass option. Incoming freshmen also may elect this option. Graduating seniors may elect more than one pass/no pass course during their final semester.

3. Students receive credit for courses successfully completed under the pass/no pass option, but these hours are not used in calculating the grade point average.

4. Instructors are not told which students are enrolled under the pass/no pass option, and all students are graded alike. If a student receives a grade of D or better from the instructor, the student's transcript shows the course has been passed (P). If the course is not passed, the record shows NP and the hours attempted are not used in calculating the grade point average.

5. The pass/no pass option for a particular course is elected at the time of registration. A student may request to change to the regular grading system anytime before the end of the sixth week of classes or the corresponding point of a summer term. If a student is registered in a course under the regular grading system, a change to the pass/no pass option may be requested anytime before the end of the sixth week of classes or the corresponding point of a summer term, provided eligibility requirements 1 and 2 above are met. (See dates in the Academic Calendar section of the current undergraduate catalog.)

6. A student may not repeat under the pass/no pass option any course taken previously under the regular grading system unless a grade of W was received in that course.

7. A student who changes majors is not automatically denied credit for a pass/no pass course that becomes a degree plan requirement for the new major. The decision about a course meeting a requirement for the student's new major is made by the Academic Dean. However, under no circumstances is a grade of P changed to a letter grade.

8. Transfer students have the same pass/no pass privileges and restrictions, but they must successfully complete 31 semester hours of regular graded courses at UNT to be eligible for graduation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to take CSCE 1010?

Absolutely Not! This course is for non-majors only. The first CSCE course you should take is CSCE 1030, unless you have received AP Exam or transfer credit for this course and the credit has been approved by the undergraduate advisor.

What courses should I take now?

Although your actual course schedule is up to you, there are some tips and guidelines to think about:

Regardless of your actual degree choice, you will have several required courses in Math, Science, and English, plus the CSCE major courses. Getting started in each of those tracks early is generally a good idea, so you will have the prerequisites out of the way in later semesters. You should strongly consider taking CSCE 1030 your first semester if you have not received AP credit for the course. You should also take whatever Math course your placement test results have recommended for you.

Try to avoid loading your early semesters with all of your University core courses like Humanities, Wellness, etc. Save a few of them for later semesters when you are taking more difficult upper division courses in your major to give yourself a break.

Also remember that the higher course numbers may not be offered each semester. If you put all of them off until your senior year, that year may become 2 years in order to complete all of the required courses.

In order to meet the 45 hours of advanced courses requirement, try to select 3000 or 4000 level courses when selecting electives to fulfill your non-major requirements. You do not have to wait until your Junior or Senior year to register for one of these courses as long as you meet the prerequisites, if any.

Be sure to look at the prerequisite flows for the appropriate degree on page 12 or 16 of your orientation handout. You should also note the degree requirements worksheet (pages 6, 9 or 13) and list of approved courses (pages 7 or 11) for satisfying the various core and elective requirements. The handout also contains some sample semester schedules (pages 8, 10 or 14). Use these as a guide, but remember your schedule will likely differ depending on your starting point in Math, as well as your chosen electives.

Minor in Computer Science

An undergraduate minor in Computer Science requires a minimum of 18 hours of computer science courses, including at least 6 advanced hours. Required courses are CSCE1030, 1040 and 2050. The six hours of advanced courses must be taken at UNT.

How can I get extra money?

Students who are Texas residents and enrolled for the first time in a Texas college or university in the Fall of 1997 or later may be eligible for a $1000 rebate of tuition if they complete their first bachelor’s degree having attempted no more than 3 hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree. For additional information and to apply for the rebate during the semester of application for graduation, contact the Registrar’s Office.
