Eagle Bound Program Admission Partnerships

UNT maintains admission partnership agreements with several community colleges through the Eagle Bound Program. See if your community college participates in the Eagle Bound Program. 

Individual Review of Application

If you do not meet published admissions requirements, you may be eligible to participate in the Individual Review process. Students can provide additional documentation to support their application and receive a holistic evaluation. If you are eligible for Individual Review an email will be sent to you with information on required documentation and how to upload the documents to your myUNT portal.  

Academic Fresh Start

If you're a Texas Resident with college credit that is 10 years or older who applies for admission to Texas public colleges or universities as an undergraduate, you may be able to begin a new course of study with a clear academic record.

Your existing credits and grades can be waived under the Academic Fresh Start law if you invoke it at the time of application. This is an all or nothing option. You cannot pick and choose which courses to ignore and which courses to count.

This means that courses taken previously:

  • Cannot be used to fulfill new prerequisite requirements;
  • Cannot be counted toward your new degree; and
  • Will not be counted in any future G.P.A. calculations.

Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions before acceptance to UNT.

An Academic Fresh Start clears only your academic record, not the number of semesters you have been in higher education and could impact your eligibility for financial aid. The maximum number of semesters for receiving federal Pell Grants is 12, which must include all the time you have spent taking dual credit courses and community college courses, including those from over ten years ago. For additional questions contact the Financial Aid Office.
