3. Submit Your Official Academic Credentials

UNT highly recommends electronic document submission whenever possible. Mailed transcripts need to be sent in an institution-sealed envelope to the Office of Admissions.

Mail your official school transcripts, diploma and degree certificate from all high schools or colleges attended. These MUST be in both English and your native language. English translations must be from either the academic institution or a certified translator. We DO NOT accept notarized or copied transcripts.

Do not send transcripts, mark sheets, diplomas, certificates or any other academic credential that cannot be duplicated or replaced. ALL DOCUMENTS BECOME THE PROPERTY OF UNT AND WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO YOU.

Submit Official Documents

4. Demonstrate English Language Proficiency

Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency.

If you cannot provide acceptable proof of English language proficiency, you may qualify for conditional admission to UNT and gain English proficiency through the UNT Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) before beginning academic coursework.

5. Check Academic Department Requirements & Deadlines

Acceptance to UNT does not guarantee acceptance into the major of your choice. Check with your academic department for other requirements and deadlines. Departmental applications, test scores, references, auditions and other items may be required by a different deadline.

6. Check Admission Status

Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis.

Once you have applied, you can track admission decisions,missing items or status updates through your myUNT portal. If you have applied for financial aid or scholarships, myUNT also lets you view the status of those applications.

Additional Information

Students who require an I-20 to study at UNT
I-20 requests can be submitted through the iNorthTX portal for students who have been admitted. Per federal regulation, UNT is not able to issue I-20s to international students until they have received full admission to UNT. Please check your myUNT portal for more information on your admission status.

Students currently attending a school in the United States on a F-1 visa who want to transfer to UNT
First, you must be admitted to a UNT program. After you are admitted to a UNT program, please contact your immigration advisor at your current school about transferring your immigration record to UNT.

Undergraduate students applying to both IELI and UNT
Be aware that the College of Music will not evaluate an applicant's file until the student passes the music audition and until they demonstrate English Language Proficiency (ELP). Qualified students applying for IELI and the College of Music will receive an IELI only admission letter and I-20 (if needed) for the above-mentioned program. After completing IELI, the student must apply to UNT, and the applicant's acceptance depends on the student passing a College of Music audition and meeting other university requirements. For most other majors not listed above, a review for conditional admission is possible.
