Academic Advising
UNT Advising Definition: Academic advising is a collaborative partnership and developmental process that
assists students in defining, clarifying and achieving academic, personal, and career goals.
Mission of the Dean’s Office for Undergraduates and Student Advising: The office mission is to teach, assist
and empower students to define, clarify and achieve academic and personal goals through professional, caring
service.
Advisors will guide students in:
• Partnering and collaborating with advisors to develop a plan to accomplish their educational goals.
• Understanding and applying knowledge about their degree requirements to graduate in an efficient and
timely manner.
• Utilizing campus resources.
• Understanding the importance of deadlines, policies, procedures and accept their responsibility to uphold
them.
• Utilizing online resources and advising tools, such as Succeed at UNT.
• Succeeding at UNT by showing up, finding support, taking control, being prepared, getting involved, and
being persistent.
• Accepting and embracing their responsibilities as engaged citizens of UNT and the world.
Student’s Responsibilities (What you are expected to do):

Brochure 2014 – Page 2 Revised 5-6-14
Who are my Academic Advisors?
A complete list of academic advisors, academic counselors, faculty advisors, health professions advisors and
pre-law advisors are listed on our website at http://cas.unt.edu/advising/advisor-contacts.
Advisors in the College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences provides three distinct types of Academic Advisors for majors and
supplemental advising for Health Professions and Pre-Law:
Academic Counselors - the primary focus of Academic Counselors is to assist students who have not yet
chosen a major and are exploring their major and career options within the College of Arts and Sciences. They
are also involved with career counseling, teaching a career development course, and assisting in more complex
counseling situations. Academic Counselors serve as the primary advisors for General Studies, Integrative
Studies and Social Science majors.
Academic Advisors - work in conjunction with Departmental or Faculty Advisors, Academic Advisors assist
students with chosen majors in answering questions concerning General University Core and College of Arts
and Sciences requirements. They are available to review official degree audits with students, perform graduation
checks with students, and review all situations requiring Dean's Office Approval for Arts and Sciences
Undergraduate Students (such as Concurrent Enrollment, Overload, and Pass/No Pass Course Option
approvals).
Departmental/Faculty Advisors - work in conjunction with Academic Advisors, mentoring students in their
academic disciplines by helping them understand requirements in the major, career options with that major, and
start the process for obtaining an official degree audit.
Pre-Professional Advising
Health-Related Career Advising - Dentistry, Medicine, Optometry, Veterinary Medicine, Podiatry, Physician
Assistant, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Pharmacy and Occupational Therapy: Students interested in these
professions should schedule an appointment with the Assistant Director of Health Professions Programs in the
Office of Health Professions, located in the General Academic Building (GAB) room 220. Assistance will be
provided regarding entrance requirements, the application process, interview preparation and the required
recommendations for the professional school. (940-565-2051- www.cas.unt.edu/advising/health-professions)
Pre-Law/Legal Careers - Supplemental advising is available to all UNT students regarding law school
admissions and the pursuit of a legal career. Guidance is available from your first year at UNT through the law
school application process, and through selection of the right law school for you. (940-565-4413www.cas.unt.edu/advising/pre-law)
Degree Audit
A degree audit is an official document of the University that lists all the courses needed to complete a chosen
degree and shows how all the courses completed are applied toward the degree. Students should file for a
degree audit when certain of their major by making an appointment with the faculty advisor in the major
department. Transfer students will need to bring:
•
•
•
copies of evaluated transfer transcripts from the UNT Registrar’s Office
catalog descriptions of transfer courses
the initial Core Curriculum Transfer Evaluation Form/Audit (received at orientation)
After the degree audit advising session with the advisor, the degree audit request form is sent to the Dean’s
Office for Undergraduates and Student Advising (GAB 220) for preparation of the degree audit. The degree
audit will be mailed to the address listed in your my.unt.edu. Students can obtain an updated copy each
semester from GAB 220 or you can view your degree audit on-line at my.unt.edu. Academic Advisors in GAB
220 are available by appointment to assist students with questions that may arise as they chart their progress.

Important Things to Know
Eagle Express Tuition Plan
Tuition costs are a big part of planning for college – and a big concern. UNT offers you an innovative
solution to rising college costs with the Eagle Express plan. Eagle Express is more than a tuition plan,
it’s a plan for success.
•
•
•
UNT’s Eagle Express plan locks in your total academic costs for four years.
It pays to graduate on time. Save up to $3,000 in your last 15 hours (typically your last
semester) by graduating in four years, and if you qualify for the statewide on-time $1,000 tuition
rebate, you’ll save $4,000.
You’ll save time and money by knowing your academic costs up front, graduating on time and
earning a full-time salary sooner.
For more information, you can direct any questions you have to our toll-free information line at 844-2366855 or visit eagleexpress.unt.edu.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Students applying for financial aid will be monitored for satisfactory academic progress, including pace
of progression and academic performance. Please see a financial aid counselor and visit with your
academic advisor. Additional details are available at www.financialaid.unt.edu/sap.
Graduation Information
Graduation Check
Students should request an appointment for a graduation check with their advisor in the Dean’s Office
for Undergraduate and Student Advising during the semester prior to the semester planned for
graduation. While it is recommended that students set up an appointment with their advisor for a
graduation check, students may request a graduation check without scheduling an appointment. An
updated degree audit will be prepared after semester grades are posted and will be available for pickup in GAB 220 in time for students to make any necessary schedule revisions.
Graduation Application
The graduation application may be obtained at either the Registrar’s Office or the Dean’s Office for
Undergraduates and Student Advising (GAB 220), but must be returned to GAB 220. In order to apply
for graduation, students should:
• Submit graduation application by the deadline stated in the Schedule of Classes.
• Enroll for all courses stated on the degree audit within the course load guidelines.
• Complete the required English Composition courses with a grade of C or better.
• Must have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 on all attempted course work at UNT.
• Must have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 on all coursework attempted
(transfer and UNT combined).
• Not be concurrently enrolled at any other institution.

Other important academic policies are covered in the Advising Guidebook you received, and can be
