WELCOME CLASS OF 2022

Congratulations!On behalf of the administration, faculty, and staff, welcome to University of North Texas and the class of 2022! We are proud that you have chosen to become a member of our growing UNT family!

In order to assist you with your transition to UNT, all new undergraduate students are required to attend an orientation session. Orientation is designed to help students and families become acclimated to the university. During orientation, you will have the chance to meet with faculty and staff, meet your new classmates, connect with current students, learn about university resources, and receive academic advising in preparation for registering for classes. You will leave orientation understanding our university’s spirit and traditions, as well as what to expect as you embark on your college experience.

We believe every UNT student has the potential to succeed. We also know that the transition to college can often be difficult as you begin to navigate a new environment where you are now responsible for all of your decisions—both positive and negative. Part of our responsibility is to help you shape your college experience in a way that sets you up for success. You are an important member of our university community and we want to make sure you, too, feel like an integral member of it. To help you start on the right foot, all new freshmen will be required to participate in First Flight, UNT’s official welcome week program.

Although students who graduate from an Early College High School (ECHS) can enter the university with a significant number of transfer credits, UNT requires these graduates to participate in a freshman orientation program. We believe this best sets you up for success at the University of North Texas. Because your needs are slightly different, we encourage you to attend a special meeting prior to the orientation welcome to help better prepare you for your orientation experience. This meeting will take place on the first day of your orientation, before the official welcome. We encourage you to check in to orientation and then attend this meeting. The location of the meeting will be available to you at check-in.

UNT Major Boot CampUNT Major Boot Camp is designed for freshmen students that left orientation unsure of their major selection. At the UNT Major Boot Camp, students will have the opportunity to review personality inventory results with a professional, research major options and potential careers, and work with UNT staff to learn about changing their major.

The program will take place on Thursday, August 2, 2018 from 9:00am until 3:00pm, and is free to all incoming freshman students. Complete program details, including a schedule at a glance and the registration link, can be found on the orientation.unt.edu website by clicking “Major Boot Camp” in the right menu bar.

Math Placement Exam

Foreign Language Placement and Exam for Credit

Music Meeting During Orientation

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

The Department of Mathematics will not place students into courses at or above the level of Calculus I (Math 1710) without prerequisite credit. Some examples of prerequisite credit include: scores of 3 or better on the Calculus AB or BC Advanced Placement Exam, a score of 5 or better on the higher-level IB mathematics exam, and dual credit in mathematics courses with Texas Common Course Numbers: Math 2312 or 2412. If you would like to take Calculus I as your initial course and do not have prior prerequisite credit, you will be required to take the placement assessment. If your major requires Calculus I, then you are strongly encouraged to take the placement assessment.

1. You are expected to take the online Pearson MyMathTest (MMT) prior to coming to your orientation session. Doing this is important for students majoring in Math, Engineering, Science, Economics (BS) and who need to start with Calculus I (Math 1710) or a Business major who needs Business Calculus (Math 1190).

2. You will find how to access the test and other important information about the placement assessment on the Math Department’s website. Go to: www.math.unt.edu, under ‘Courses and Schedules’ select ‘Math Placement’.

Students taking the Foreign Language Placement Exam may earn up to 12 hours of foreign language credit. The exam may be taken only once per language. Many degrees at UNT require some level of proficiency in a foreign language. Review your degree requirements at catalog.unt.edu to see if a foreign language is required. The placement test is free to take, but if you would like the credits earned from the test applied to your transcript there is a $53 fee that will be applied to your student account.

Exams for placement and/or credit are offered in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. The foreign language placement/credit exam will be available each orientation session. In addition, the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers proficiency exams for languages not offered at UNT. For more information, contact the Department of World Languages and Literatures or Department of Spanish at 940.565.2404.

All students who are not music majors but are interested in being involved with the College of Music during their time at UNT should plan to attend the music session during orientation to find out more about music minors, music classes for non music majors, auditioning for any of the performance groups, and the possibility of taking private lessons for the fall semester. We will also have information on applying and auditioning to become a music major available at this meeting.

Students who have successfully auditioned for the College of Music do not attend this session. Anyone considering auditioning for a band, choir, or orchestra should attend this session. The information session will be available each orientation session. You will receive a schedule with specific times and locations at check in.

Before You Apply:

Step 1: Make sure you’re eligible to apply. Look for eligibility requirements at studentaid.gov.

Step 2: Apply early in order to get first consideration for awards! The FAFSA and Renewal FAFSA are available each October for the upcoming academic year at fafsa.gov. UNT’s Priority Deadline is March 15th.

Step 3: Create your Federal Student Aid Identification Number (FSA ID) required for filing and signing necessary documents ahead of time at fsaid.ed.gov.

Step 4: Gather all required documents and information, such as your completed federal income tax return, your social security number and bank statements.

Room assignments, for those students with a complete application, begin in May. Once assigned, the ability to change application preferences or room assignments is extremely limited. Mean Green Move-In Weekend, the opening of the residence halls for the Fall 2018 semester, will be Saturday, August 18 and Sunday, August 19. Housing will be communicating to students about arrival and move-in plans during the summer.

Tips for Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

After You Have Applied:

Step 1: Check your Student Aid Report (SAR) for accuracy. You will receive a copy of your SAR via email or mail about a week after the FAFSA has been filed. The SAR summarizes information provided on the FAFSA. The SAR will also indicate Pell Grant eligibility, if any, and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC).Step 2: Monitor your myUNT Student Portal located at my.unt.edu frequently for status updates. Once all requests for additional documents have been satisfied, you will be able to accept, decline or reduce your award offers.Step 3: Keep copies of all documents and correspondence.

Code of Student ConductThe Dean of Students Office enforces the Code of Student Conduct. The Code explains what conduct is prohibited, the process the university uses to review alleged violations, and the sanctions that can be imposed. When students may have violated the Code they meet with a university official to discuss the violation in an educational process. Anyone can report alleged misconduct to the Dean of Students Office by calling 940.565.2039, emailing conduct.dos@unt.edu, or visiting the office in the University Union, suite 409. Anyone who has experienced dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, or sexual violence can contact the Dean of Students Office (940.565.2039), the Title IX Coordinator (940.565.2711), or the UNT Police Department (940.565.3000) to file a report.

Assistance, support, and referrals to other support agencies are available regardless of any request for disciplinary action. A student who has been impacted by dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, or sexual violence can receive assistance through the UNT Survivor Advocate. The Survivor Advocate can be reached by calling 940.565.2648, emailing SurvivorAdvocate@unt.edu, or visiting the office in the University Union, Suite 411.

The Code of Student Conduct can be found on the Dean of Students website at deanofstudents.unt.edu/conduct.
