Math The Department of Mathematics will not place students into courses at or above the level of Calculus I (Math 1710) without prerequisite credit. Some examples of prerequisite credit include: scores of 3 or better on the Calculus AB or BC Advanced Placement Exam, a score of 5 or better on the higher-level IB mathematics exam, and credit in mathematics courses with Texas Common Course Numbers: Math 2312 or 2412. If you would like to take Calculus I as your initial course and do not have prior prerequisite credit, you will be required to take the placement assessment. If your major requires Calculus I, then you are strongly encouraged to take the placement assessment.

Doing this is important for students majoring in Math, Engineering, Science, Economics (BS) and who need to start with Calculus I (Math 1710) or a Business major who needs Business Calculus (Math 1190).

TRANSFER CENTER

It is impossible for a new transfer student to know all the ins and outs of college life at UNT, so the Transfer Center provides support to all transfer students during their transition period. The Transfer Center's main goal is to help students connect to important campus resources, ensuring a successful transition to UNT. The Transfer Center offers opportunities that promote involvement, including Tau Sigma National Honor Society, Transfer Programs, Transfer Communities and Meet Ups, and Welcome Week Programs.

TRANSFER TOOLKIT

Prior to attending orientation, all new transfer students are asked to complete online modules through Blackboard Learn called the Transfer Toolkit. These modules will help you explore personal interests and skills, and feel confident in your major selection. Although we realize that transfer students are entering UNT with some college experience, we want to make sure your transition to our university is seamless.

The Transfer Toolkit will be available to new transfer students beginning May 1.

Log on to Blackboard Learn at learn.unt.edu with your EUID (example: abc1234) and password. On the top menu bar, select "organizations" and then your Transfer Toolkit should be visible. It is recommended that you complete the Transfer Toolkit modules before your orientation session.
