Here’s the application process for most universities:
Make sure you fill out your application completely and have someone check your work — it’s really important! And plan ahead so you don’t miss priority dates. If you have questions, ask your high school counselor or call the college admissions office.
Submit your UNT admission application by March 1 for the fall semester. Applications will still be accepted after this date, but will be subject to a late fee. Learn more about the UNT admissions process.

Students not meeting these requirements will be reviewed on an individual basis. Learn more about UNT admissions requirements.
Some universities require college entrance exams, and for some placement tests as part of the college application. The SAT and ACT are the most common entrance exams. However, at UNT and at many schools, these tests are optional. UNT uses unweighted GPA and class rank in assessing admissibility – check each school’s admissions requirements.
The CLEP and Advanced Placement (AP) tests enable you to get a jumpstart on your college course load, allowing you to finish school quicker and save money.
