Each year, UNT welcomes more than 3,500 transfer students — more than any other institution in the state. We are proud to offer these students many resources to accommodate their unique admissions needs. 

Future transfer students should begin preparing for their college move by consulting the UNT Transfer Center, which helps students make a successful transition to college life at UNT by connecting them to a peer mentor and other campus resources. The center is located in the University Union, Room 320.

Undergraduate Advising can offer other helpful resources for transfer students.
