New students declare their major when applying for admission to UNT. Continuing students make an appointment with the CLASS Advising office to change their major; either by scheduling in Navigate or calling the CLASS Advising office at (940) 565-2051.
MRTS/CBCM students have two sets of advising teams. CLASS Advisors work for the College and will assist students with ALL degree requirements. Faculty Advisors teach in the major and will assist students with major/career advising needs.
Faculty Advisors
A degree audit is a document listing all requirements to complete a degree. Students can access their degree audit through MyUNT or by going to https:///mydegreeaudit.unt.edu. CLASS Advisors prepare an official degree audit at Orientation or after the first advising session. A video explaining how to read the degree audit can be found here: https://class.unt.edu/advising/ (Scroll down and click on the Online Degree Audit tab.)
Yes, you may take them together or in any order.
You need to see a College Liberal of Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) adviser during walk-in advising times.
An instructor/department can set a permission code for a class for a variety of reasons. The enrollment notes for the class will detail who to contact to get the permission code. Some classes may require an interview or application before receiving the code.
Students may take classes in transfer to apply to the degree. There are specific rules regarding transfer classes so students should always consult an advisor before enrolling. For core/elective classes, they should have them approved by a CLASS Advisor. For major classes, a faculty advisor in Media Arts has to approve them.
Either check the handout, catalog or other publications, OR go to the CLASS Advising Office.
It is in GAB Room 220.
If you are a transfer student, then you are required to attend orientation. All questions will be answered at orientation.
In your letter of acceptance to UNT, there was a memo detailing the schedule of orientations. You were specifically assigned a date and time. The instructions are in the letter.
Check with the CLASS Advising Office.
If this was not clear during orientation, then see the correct adviser about his or her decision. For example, if you have a question concerning a core class, see the CLASS Advising Office. If you have a question concerning an MRTS class, see a Media Arts adviser.
That question is for you to answer. Plan your enrollment needs by consulting your online audit through the Student Service Center at my.unt.edu or schedule an appointment to meet with your academic adviser.
Go to the CLASS Advising office and ask for a degree audit.
First, meet with a CLASS Advisor to talk about what you want to add. CLASS Advisors will add the desired program or connect you to the appropriate office to add the desired program.
Students should see a CLASS Advisor when they think they are close to completing requirements. An advisor will confirm remaining requirements and explain the graduation application process.
A graduation check is to be completed the semester preceding the one in which you plan to graduate (i.e.: file in Fall if you plan to graduate at the end of Spring). A graduation check reviews your degree plan and provides you with a list of courses that you still need to complete to graduate.
The deadline for filing for graduation is at the beginning of the semester in which you plan to graduate. The application is submitted to the CLASS Advising Office. If this is done on time, the application is free. If you miss the deadline, there is a $25 late fee.
