What it Means to be a College Student

a. Welcome, class of 2016, to the first few days of your college experience!

Now that you are in college, you will find that your experiences will be different than they were in high school. In college, you are responsible for your education - taking notes, keeping up with your assignments, communicating with your professors, and attending class. Find advice from current students and alumni below.

Advicefromcurrentstudentsandalumni

Don’t let the title of the class fool you. Some of the most seemingly interesting classes can be the most difficult or really boring and some of the most seemingly tedious classes can be quite easy and maybe even fun!

Irae, Sociology

Read your textbooks! They hold valuable test answers and are too expensive to be used just as dust collectors.

Ashley, Psychology

Put your schedule in your phone. That way you never plan things during class.

Precious, Sociology

Get involved on campus. What you do outside the classroom is just as important as what you do inside it.

Ri’chard, Sociology

Don’t be afraid to ask questions because most of the time the answers could be the solution to our problems.

Morganne, Kinesiology

Once in college, get involved with the university! UNT has tons of organizations and programs to choose from.

Valeria, Undecided

No more tardy bells, hall passes, or detention. Going to school is entirely your choice now. Choose wisely.

Brittany, Social Work

Going to class should be your number one priority (even those pesky 8 am’s). Getting involved should be your second priority; everyone needs a home away from home.

Katie, Interdisciplinary Studies

Always ask for help no matter how embarrassed or helpless you may feel. At UNT, there is always someone there to listen or help you out!

Anna, Sociology

Who you know is just as important as what you know. A major factor in your college experience is networking.

Taelor, Advertising

Don’t get caught up having too much fun. Make sure your priorities are straight; you came here to receive an education so put that first. Take advantage of ALL of the resources and opportunities here on campus. Explore and Learn! UNT is giving you the green light: Now GO!

Kolbi, Interdisciplinary Studies

It’s easier to start with a high GPA and let it fall a little as the classes get harder than to start low and work your way up.

Mikey, Biochemistry

College is where you will establish who you want to become so keep an open mind, be authentic and have fun.

Sarah, Development and Family Studies

Did you know? U.S. News &World Report 2012 ranked the Graduate Counseling Program from the Department of Counseling and Higher Education 12th nationwide and 1st in Texas; this was the 10th time the program was ranked 1st in Texas and in the top 20 nationally.

b. How to be a successful college student…The principle purpose of this orientation is to prepare you for the intellectual, cultural, and social climate of UNT. Therefore, over the next few days you will receive information that will help you register for classes, learn about campus resources, and get involved in student life. But for now, let’s fast-forward to the first day of the semester.

You’re sitting in the classroom. You don’t know anyone and you don’t know a thing about calculus… Now what? At some point, people might notice a dazed look in your eyes and begin to offer you advice--some will be good, and some, like the following, is just bad advice:

– “In college, professors don’t take roll; you don’t have to go to class.” – “There’s no need to do homework since it’s never graded.”– “Taking notes is useless; the material is all in the textbook anyway.”

So, what we have for you are some tips—some good advice—that the Learning Center (Union 323) has put together to help prepare you for a successful college experience.

The Learning Center’sTips For Greatness

• Attend & participate in EVERY class

• Visit professors during office hours

• Refer often to your course syllabus

• Ask questions

• Use a planner

• Attend campus events & join organizations

• Prepare thoroughly for exams & assignments (DON’T CRAM!)

• Start a study group

• Use your campus resources

c. New Vocabulary (I have no idea what these things mean!)As you begin your college career, you will hear people use words that don’t make any sense to you or you aren’t exactly sure what they mean. Every institution has its own vocabulary, especially a university.

Work together to define these new terms that you will encounter in college.

Catalog – This on-line resource has degree plan requirements, course descriptions, and course pre-requisites listed.

Census Dates –The census date is when a student’s enrollment is considered official. Various offices may use this information (i.e. Financial Aid, International Admissions, Athletics, etc.) to verify enrollment. At UNT, a student can drop a class online before the census date without instructor approval and no grade will be assigned. After the census date, the student must get instructor approval (signed drop slip) to drop a course and a grade of W or WF is recorded for the course. Fall 2012 census date: ______________

Classification –This is a way the university identifies you by completed credit hours (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior).

Concurrent Enrollment – Requires pre-approval from your advisor when you take classes at two different colleges at the same time.

Early Reg – A time period during which you can select your courses for the following semester. The dates for this event are listed in the Schedule of Classes.

Greenbook or Bluebook – A blank book used in taking college examinations with a green or blue cover. This book can be purchased at the UNT bookstore along with Scantrons.

Overload – You must see your advisor for approval if you are interested in taking more than 19 hours in a semester.

Online Classes – You may need to contact the department where the course is offered to determine how to access your online classes.

Reading Day – The day before final exams begin each semester. No classes meet this day to give you time to study for exams.

Scantron – Papers on which students mark answers to academic test questions.

Withdraw from semester– When you choose to remove yourself from all of your classes. Requires permission from the Registrar’s Office.

W –A W will show up in place of a grade on your transcript when you drop a class between the census date and the last day to drop with an automatic W. See your advisor before dropping a class.

WF – A WF will be recorded on your transcript when you drop a class that you are failing after the last day to drop with an automatic W. This negatively affects your grade point average. See your advisor before dropping a class.

SAP – An abbreviation for Satisfactory Academic Progress. You must meet at least the minimum standards for SAP by the end of any given enrollment period at UNT to maintain financial aid eligibility. See Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.

Building Your Degree

a. What is a Bachelor's Degree?A bachelor’s degree shows you have completed coursework and met the requirements of a specialized curriculum. Your degree is completed when you have met all of the requirements, taken the right courses in the correct sequence, earned enough semester credit hours and earned the appropriate grades. Navigating your way through college means learning the basics needed to understand and progress through your academic career.

• Credit hoursEvery course you take is measured by units called credit hours. In most cases, credit hours represent the number of hours each week you are expected to attend each specific class. Most courses are three credit hours, so taking a 15 hour course load means you are in class 15 hours per week. Courses may range from one to six credit hours.

Realistically, you will need to study at least two hours outside of class for every hour you are in class. That means a three credit hour course will require about six hours of work (reading, studying, and related activities) outside the classroom, totaling nine hours of commitment per week. If you are taking 15 credit hours per semester, you will need to set aside at least 40 to 45 hours of total time per week for your academic work (15 hours in class plus 30 hours outside of class). The average course load of 15 hours requires as much time commitment as a full-time job.

• The Elements of a Bachelor’s Degree (minimum 120 credit hours, depending on major): a. 42 credit hours of university core requirements b. Major requirements (varies by major) c. Minor requirements (varies by major) d. Electives

• Examples of Bachelor’s degrees a. Bachelor of Arts (BA) b. Bachelor of Science (BS) c. Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) d. Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) e. Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) f. Bachelor of Music (BM) g. Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET)

b. University Core CurriculumThe university core is a set of general education courses that you must complete before you can earn a degree from UNT. The university core curriculum encourages you to explore the natural and cultural environment in which you live and to gain an appreciation of your role as a responsible global citizen. Core classes develop your critical thinking skills through writing, reading, speaking, experiential learning, community outreach, and research. The core curriculum is designed to cultivate an enthusiasm for learning and an intellectual capacity that you will use throughout your life.

In addition, the university core provides the opportunity to explore many areas of study such as:

British Literature Music Appreciation Environmental SciencePublic Speaking World History Gender Across CulturesEthics and Moral Issues Exploring Diversity through Social Action

Did you know? UNT has more than 400 student organizations, including 144 academic groups and honor societies. 5

c. What is Your Major?Isn’t that the big question? It is okay if you are still trying to decide on a major. UNT has many resources designed to help you through this process. Pages 31-40 provide a number of resources. If you have decided on a major, your requirements are designed to first introduce you to that area of study and then to help you specialize as you work your way through advanced courses.

d. Minors and Electives

Minors• Minors are like “mini-majors.” They typically require you to complete 18 to 21 credit hours.

• Some majors require a minor.

Electives

• Electives are any credit hours necessary to reach the minimum number of total credit hours required for your degree after all other requirements have been satisfied.

• Advanced electives may be required in order to meet the university advanced credit hour requirement. UNT requires a minimum of 42 advanced hours in order to graduate.

- Free Electives 1000-4000 level classes- Advanced Electives 3000-4000 level classes

Please visit with your advisor about minors and electives. The situation will be different for every student.

e. Types of CoursesAll UNT courses are coded using a three or four letter subject abbreviation and a four digit number. An example is US History to 1865, which is coded as HIST 2610

Different types of courses at UNT:

• Blended course – A course that uses both physical classroom and online instruction.

• Corequisite (Coreq) – A course that must be taken at the same time as another course.

• Internet course – A course in which instruction and assignments are solely online.

• Laboratory (Lab) – An application of the information that you learn in class and meets at a separate time.

• Lecture course – A course held in a physical classroom space.

• NextGeneration (NGEN) – A course that integrates experiential learning in addition to the physical classroom and online instruction.

• Prerequisite (Prereq) – A course that must be completed in order to move on to the next course.

• Recitation – A separate class meeting used to cover coursework and answer questions.

• Restricted course – A course that is restricted so only certain students may enroll in that course. Examples: TAMS, Honors College, majors only, Study Abroad.

Degree Progression/Timely GraduationTimely graduation for UNT means graduating with your bachelor’s degree in four calendar years with no more than 30 attempted hours beyond the hours required for your specific degree. Additionally, if you graduate with no more than three attempted hours beyond your stated degree hours, you may receive money back (see Tuition Rebate on page 22).

By using an efficient timeline, you can spare the expense of additional costs, requirements, mandates, and/or fees. Your undergraduate catalog, online schedule of classes, and advising staff will help you create and review your timely graduation plan.

Why am I thinking about graduation now?There is a process to graduation and that process starts today! You should be thinking about the big picture from your first day at orientation to your graduation day. Please visit your advising office for the best route for your academic goals. Advisors can help you obtain your official degree plan, apply for graduation and with all the steps in between.

a. Degree Audit/Degree Plan

Timely graduation includes knowing degree requirements, how to sequence classes, and departmental policies such as admission or exit criteria. To guide you through your major, request an official degree audit/degree plan from your advisor. The audit/plan shows all requirements necessary for your degree. You should get an updated audit/plan each semester and chart your progress. You can view an unofficial interactive audit at my.unt.edu (see detailed information below).

b. Student CenterThe Student Center is the hub of all of your academic and financial information.

• Available at my.unt.edu• Information available

o Your current schedule

o Future course offerings

o Account balance

o Financial aid

o Holds

o Your specific enrollment appointment dates

o Interactive Audit

Did you know? The 300-member Green Brigade Marching Band was named “Best Damned Band in the Land” by the Bleacher Report, May 2011. 15

c. Interactive AuditThe interactive audit, found in your Student Center, is a tool you will use before meeting with your advisor and registering for courses. Your interactive audit will show you:• Degree requirements• University GPA• How courses you take will apply to

your degree requirements• “What if” degree audits, if you are

considering changing your major

Lastly, as you visit with your academic advisor, he/she will update your degree requirements and those changes are reflected automatically in your Interactive Audit.

Using this tool in collaboration with your academic advisor will help you make the most of your time, money and course selection while attending UNT. For more information about the Interactive Audit, please contact your academic advising office to schedule an appointment.

d. Academic Classification

Your classification is based on the number of hours you have earned.

Classifications Freshman 0-29 hours Sophomore 30-59 hours Junior 60-89 hours Senior 90 hours and above

For Example:

Early Registration: Students may register early according to their current classification (not what it will be after the semester is over!)

Point to Ponder: Most degrees are approximately 120 semester credit hours. How many credit hours should you take each semester to be done in four years?

Freshman Year Sophomore Year (what classes will you take?)

Fall (15 Hours) Spring (15 Hours) Fall (15 Hours) Spring (15 Hours)

English Composition English Composition U. S. History

Did you know? UNT has more than 1,300 students in its Honors College, which is the largest in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.16

e. Academic Status

i. Grade Point Average What is your Grade Point Average (GPA)?Your GPA is the average of all points earned for all the classes you have taken. You will have a UNT GPA (CGPA) averaging only UNT classes and an overall GPA averaging UNT and transfer work. Please be mindful that the GPA impacts honors, financial aid, graduation, and your status as a UNT student. Please be sure to check your UNT & OVERALL GPA each semester so you know where you stand.

Grade point value:

A = 4 points per credit hourB = 3 points per credit hourC = 2 points per credit hourD = 1 point per credit hourF/WF = 0 points per credit hour

1. Multiply hours attempted by grade value earned for each class2. Total your number of Grade Points3. Divide total points by total of all your attempted hours4. That’s your GPA!* Use the same formula to calculate all GPAs.

Here’s an example…Olivia made 1 A, 2 Bs, and 2 Cs her first semester at UNT.

ii. Types of GPAsDuring your college career, you will find reference to several different GPAs, such as:

• Semester GPA - The GPA you earned only for the courses you took at UNT for the specific semester

• UNT GPA (CGPA) - Your cumulative GPA for all of the hours you have attempted at UNT (determines academic status). Does NOT include transfer work

• Overall GPA - A combination of your UNT and transfer GPA (graduation GPA)

• Major GPA - GPA required in your major. Can either be a premajor GPA requirement to enter the program and/or to graduate from the program

Careful! F’s are still attempted hours and count heavily against you!Credit hours earned by AP, CLEP, IB, and/or Credit by Examination do not average into your GPAW—or drop passing, do not count against youWF—is the same grade as an F (more on this later)

iii. Semester HoursRemember that your UNT GPA determines if you receive semester honors. Honors are awarded for fall and spring semester only.

• President’s List – Earn 4.0 semester GPA in a minimum of 12 hours of graded coursework in residence at UNT

• Dean’s List – Earn at least a 3.5 semester GPA in a minimum of 12 hours of graded coursework in residence at UNT

iv. Graduate with HonorsTo graduate with honors, you must start now. Your overall GPA (UNT and transfer hours combined) must meet specific requirements:

• 3.500 to 3.699 – cum laude

• 3.700 to 3.899 – magna cum laude

• 3.900 to 4.000 – summa cum laude

v. Academic StandingThe university will keep track of your UNT CGPA and semester GPA to determine your academic standing.

**The minimum cumulative UNT grade point average (UNT CGPA) a student must achieve to remain in good standing is 1.8 in the first enrollment period, 2.0 for all subsequent semesters.

Graduating with Honors is not the same as graduating through the Honors College.

vi. Exercise: GPA Calculation and Status

During your first college semester, you earned these grades:

Fill in the blanks with the answers:

1. How many grade points did you earn in each class? ______________________________________________________________

2. How many total grade points did you earn for the semester? ______________________________________________________

3. How many total hours did you attempt? _____________________________________________________________________________

4. Now calculate your new CGPA. CGPA = (Grade Points) ________ ÷ (Attempted Hours) ________ = Semester GPA ________

5. What is your academic status? ____________________________________________________________________________________

f. Drops, Withdrawals and Incompletes

Things do not always go as planned. There are policies in place for those unplanned moments during a semester.

i. What is the difference between dropping a class and withdrawing from the semester?

Dropping means you remove or “drop” one or more courses from your schedule, but that you are still enrolled in at least one course at UNT.

Withdrawing means you drop all courses and are no longer enrolled in the University.

ii. Six-Drop Rule

You are only allowed to drop a total of six courses during your entire college career. This includes any transfer courses taken at a Texas public university or community college. This does not apply to courses dropped prior to the 12th class day (census date) or courses dropped with a grade of WF and do not apply if the student withdraws for the term or session.

19

iii. To Drop or Not to Drop? Before dropping, ask yourself these questions:

• When are the drop deadlines? What are the procedures? (www.unt.edu/registration)

• Have I met with my advisor and instructor?• Have I utilized any of the academic resources?• How far behind am I on my assignments and assigned readings?• What kind of grades have I earned so far on assignments? On quizzes? On

exams?• How many more chances do I have to earn a grade in this particular

course?• How has my attendance been in this particular course?• What is my status with International Admissions?• Might I lose my financial aid eligibility if I drop this class?• Is this a pre-requisite or a co-requisite?• Will I earn a “W” or a “WF”? (ask your instructor)• How many times have I taken this course at UNT?• How many courses have I dropped?

Talk to your instructor and academic advisor; they are there to support your success. Consider what changes you can make yourself to improve your academic performance.

iv. Add/Drop Period and Deadlines Once you have made the decision to drop, you need to be aware of the deadlines posted on the Academic/Registration Calendar on the Registrar’s Office website (www.unt.edu/registration) for each of the following periods in which you can change your schedule.

The date you drop or withdraw may determine if you receive a grade of “W” or “WF.” Here are the three periods that determine your grade of “W” or “WF.”

Add/Drop Period: First week of the semester.Can be done online or in person at the Registrar’s Office. Does NOT require instructor approval.

Automatic W Period: NOT ON-LINE You must gain written permission from the instructor on an Official Drop Slip. You then take the Drop Slip to the Registrar’s office.An automatic “W” is awarded during this period regardless of your grade in the class. A “W” will not affect your grade point average.

W or WF Period: NOT ON-LINE This is the final opportunity to drop a course.You must gain written permission from the instructor on an Official Drop Slip. The Instructor must indicate on the form a grade of “W” or “WF.”A “W” will not affect your grade point average.A “WF” will have the same effect as an “F” for the class.

Always confirm your drop with a printout receipt from theRegistrar’s Office.

v. Incompletes

An “Incomplete” may be awarded in emergency situations, but only if approved by your instructor. The course must be 75%completed and you must be passing. The coursework must be completed within a year of granting the grade of “I” or will change to an “F” on your transcript.

vi. Exercise: Dropping, Withdrawing or Incomplete?

1. You failed your chemistry exam. This is the second exam and you barely made a “D” on your first test. You would like to earn above a “C” in the course, so you can get into medical school. This is the automatic “W” period. What do you do?

• Drop the course and retake a subsequent semester?• Keep going and hope that it gets better?• Stop going and give up all your dreams of med school?• Discuss with both your instructor and Pre-med counselor about the best option?

2. You are on your way to an exam and receive an emergency phone call that requires you to go back to your hometown for the remainder of the semester. What do you do?

• Go home and explain to the instructors when you return. Surely, they will understand?• Contact your friends in the classes and ask them to tell the instructor your situation?• Call the instructors and leave a voice message?• E-mail instructor about the situation?

g. Excess Hours/Excessive Undergraduate HoursAny student who has attempted more than 30 hours over the hours required on his or her degree plan will be subject to an additional excessive hour tuition rate. Please refer to www.unt.edu/tuition for current tuition and fee information.

The Excessive Undergraduate Hours Tuition applies only to hours taken at Texas public institutions.

h. Duplications and Repeated Courses

A student may take a course a second or subsequent time. The Registrar’s Office will process duplications at the request of the student, at the request of an academic advisor or upon review of the student’s record. Until a duplication is posted the Registrar’s Office includes a repeated course in the student’s cumulative record of hours attempted and grade points earned. The Registrar includes without exception any course repeated more than once in the student’s cumulative record or hours attempted and grade points earned. Departments may count the highest grade for departmental GPA requirements; however, the academic dean uses only the last grade recorded in certifying the student’s eligibility for graduation.

Undergraduate students classified as Texas residents or who pay Texas resident tuition rate who attempt certain courses more than twice at the University of North Texas are subject to an additional tuition rate of $75.00 per semester credit hour for the repeated course. This additional charge will be billed after the beginning of each semester. Please refer to the following link for more detail: http://essc.unt.edu/registrar/repeated.html

Please exhaust all possibilities to complete your course when thinking about dropping a class. It will possibly delay your graduation and waste

your time and money.

Caution!

Track your attempted hours. If you go above30 hours required for your degree plan, you mayhave to pay extra.

Did you know? UNT’s College of Music Jazz Studies program is known around the world for it’s innovative approach to teaching jazz. The One O’Clock Lab Band performs internationally and has received nominations for the Grammy Awards.

i. UNT’s Timely Graduation Tuition Program

At UNT, all full-time undergraduate students will pay the same amount for university tuition and fees in a fall or spring semester regardless of how many hours they take. (Students will be required to pay state tuition and fees on all hours including those above 12 hours, which averages about $50 per credit hour.) You are considered full-time once you register for 12 hours or more in a long semester.

To get on the “Fast Track” to graduating sooner and saving money, set a goal to graduate in four years. Talk to your advisor about what courses to take. Then, at registration, enroll in at least 15 hours a semester. Now you’re on the “Fast Track” to graduating on time!

Students are encouraged to think of 15 hours as their minimum course load. This makes sense because after all, it generally takes 15 hours a semester to graduate in four years. Visit www.unt.edu/tuition for more information!

j. Financial Benefit of Timely Graduation

Tuition RebateYou may be eligible for a $1000 rebate if you

• are a first-time enrollee in a Texas college/university and• are a Texas resident and• complete your bachelor’s degree having attempted no more than 3 attempted hours in excess of the minimum

number of semester hours required for that degree.

For additional information and to apply for the rebate during the semester of application for graduation, please contact the Registrar’s Office.

Estimated Annual Cost of AttendanceThe financial benefit of graduating on time can also be a difference of up to $60,000 for each year enrolled beyond four years: the cost of one year of attendance plus your possible first-year salary of $35,000.

attend summer sessions. • Full-time: 12 hours• Average course load: 15 hours• Maximum hours: 19 hours during fall and spring semesters and 18 hours

during the summer semester o Overload approval is needed if attempting to register for more

than 19 hours

6. Course Numbering• 1000: Freshman courses – lower level• 2000: Sophomore courses – lower level• 3000: Junior courses – advanced level• 4000: Senior courses – advanced level

7. Course Permission Code• Required to register for certain courses• Ensures all requirements have been met prior to enrolling• Contact the department offering the course to receive the permission

code • Some examples include courses restricted to students residing out-of-

state and courses restricted for certain majors

8. Pre-Advising Inventory• Fill out before meeting with your advisor• Will help your advisor assist you in course selections

Things to Consider

• What time of day do you do your best work?

• Is the course offered in different time formats? Remember many courses are scheduled 1, 2, or 3 times a week.

• In what type of environment do you work best? Is the course offered online? Remember this may not allow for face-to-face meetings.

• Would delaying a certain course this semester put you “off track” for your projected graduation date?

• Can you effectively use time between classes: reading your textbooks, studying for a test, or running errands?

• You need to create a balance between your academic and social lives—both are important pieces to your college experience.

• Students should successfully complete at least 30 credit hours each year to potentially fulfill all degree requirements in four years.

You can enroll in courses at another institution while attending UNT. Visit with your academic advisor about the concurrent enrollment option.
