Are you enrolled at another college or university, and planning to take classes at
UNT for just one semester?
Are you planning on taking a course over the summer, and returning to your home institution?
Please take a look at the information on this page to learn more about the transient student process from admission to enrollment.
Before you can take a course at UNT, you must apply and be admitted as a transient student. You read more about the transient/ visiting student application and admissions processes here
Course registration opens for transient students on specific dates, regardless of
the date you are admitted.
As a transient student, you are eligible to register for classes via your my.unt.edu
account on the following dates:
Transient students must adhere to all university dates and deadlines. For a list of important dates including:
All of these dates can impact transcripts, GPAs, and tuition refunds so it is VERY IMPORTANT that you are aware of UNT's deadlines.
Can UNT Advisors tell me which classes will fulfill requirements at my home college
or university?
NO. It is important that you are advised by YOUR institution BEFORE you apply to take classes as a transient student at UNT. Our advisors cannot provide
academic advising toward how UNT credit will be utilized by your home institution.
What if a class fills up before I can register?
We recommend utilizing the waitlist feature in the enrollment tab of your my.unt.edu
account. Students will be added to a class in the order they signed up on the waitlist
if spaces open up.
We cannot guarantee that you will be added to a class that you are waitlisted for.
The class I want to sign up for requires a prerequisite course. What should I do?
You can review the course requirements and prerequisites for all UNT classes by reviewing
the course description information in the UNT Catalog. If the course you would like to take had a prerequisite, you should make sure that
you have taken and passed the prerequisite course. That course will need to be listed
on the official transcript that you submit to UNT as part of the application process.
We also recommend emailing a copy of your transcript showing you have met the prerequisite
requirements to the academic department that offers the course. Contact information for academic departments can be found here.
The class I want to sign up for requires a permission code and/or is restricted. What
should I do?
Please read course requirements carefully when selecting classes:
What do I do if I want to become a UNT student after I finish my transient student
semester?
We're so happy to welcome you as a full-time member of the Mean Green Family! To become
a UNT student, you will fill out a new, four-year application to UNT and submit any
official transcripts that were not submitted as part of your transient information.
