Transfer Pathways

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!

Articulation Agreements and Transfer of Credit

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.

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.

Texas Community College Statewide Transfer

Transferring from a Texas public community or technical college to UNT is easy. Learn more about transferring your Texas’ statewide academic course credits, core curriculum courses and completed field of study curriculum transfers by talking with your community college or UNT academic advisor.

Transfer of the Texas Common Core Curriculum

Completion of any component area of the Texas Common Core Curriculum at any Texas public community colleges with a course from the Texas Academic Course Guide Manual (ACGM) will transfer and meet the corresponding component area of the UNT common core curriculum.

(Required by Texas Education Code, Chapter 61, Section 61.822)

Texas Field of Study Curricula

A Texas Field of Study Curriculum is a set of community college courses that will satisfy lower-division requirements of the designated bachelor’s degree at UNT. A field of study completed at a community college will transfer as a block and apply to a specified bachelor’s degree program. Additional lower-division courses are required for programs with college-wide course requirements, regardless of major. Review our Transfer Resources for a list of UNT degree programs with a Texas Field of Study.

Texas Common Course Number System

UNT accepts all successfully completed lower-division academic courses at a Texas public community or technical college that are identified by the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) and published in the lower-division Academic Course Guide Manual (ACGM). TCCNS courses with a direct equivalent to a UNT course are listed in the UNT Catalog and the TCCNS chart.
