Welcome to UNT! Freshman Orientation 2018

WELCOME CLASS OF 2022

Congratulations!

On behalf of the administration, faculty, and staff, welcome to University of North Texas and the class of 2022! We are proud that you have chosen to become a member of our growing UNT family! In order to assist you with your transition to UNT, all new undergraduate students are required to attend an orientation session. Orientation is designed to help students and families become acclimated to the university. During orientation, you will have the chance to meet with faculty and staff, meet your new classmates, connect with current students, learn about university resources, and receive academic advising in preparation for registering for classes. You will leave orientation understanding our university's spirit and traditions, as well as what to expect as you embark on your college experience.

Using Your Freshman Booklet

Your Freshman Booklet is your guide to what should be done before arriving on campus for the fall semester. Your first step in becoming a UNT student is attending orientation, but there are many tasks that you need to complete before and after orientation in order to be prepared for Mean Green Move-In Weekend! Our hope is that you use this book as a guide for what to do next. If you have questions along the way, call our office at 940-565-4198 and we'd be happy to help!

Part of our responsibility is to help you shape your college experience in a way that sets you up for success. You are an important member of our university community and we want to make sure you, too, feel like an integral member of it.

Disability Accommodations

Students who intend to register with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) under the terms of ADA/504, or who request accommodations during their orientation session, should check the appropriate boxes on their orientation registration materials.

Early College High School Graduates

Although students who graduate from an Early College High School (ECHS) can enter the university with a significant number of transfer credits, UNT requires these graduates to participate in a freshman orientation program. We believe this best sets you up for success at the University of North Texas. Because your needs are slightly different, we encourage you to attend a special meeting prior to the orientation welcome to help better prepare you for your orientation experience. This meeting will take place on the first day of your orientation, before the official welcome. We encourage you to check in to orientation and then attend this meeting. The location of the meeting will be available to you at check-in.
