At UNT, we understand the importance of getting the most out of your transfer credits to earn your bachelor’s degree. UNT makes transferring easy!
Transfer of Credit and Articulation Agreements
Statewide credit transfer, fields of study and articulation agreements provide pathways for students to transfer seamlessly to UNT with course credit that applies to UNT degree requirements.
We offer a variety of articulation agreements with several community colleges and educational partners to help you move forward with a documented path to graduation. These agreements guarantee transfer of specific courses between institutions and minimize duplication of coursework, saving you time and money as you earn your degree.
