The Application Process: A Step-by-Step Guide to Applying

Graduate admission to UNT Dallas is a shared process involving the Office of Graduate Admissions and the graduate faculty of the University. Each academic department has a designated program coordinator who serves as a liaison between the department and the admissions office and provides detailed information about program entry requirements.

There are two steps to apply for admission to a graduate program.

  1. Primary application:  The Apply Texas Application. (Generates your UNT Dallas ID# once downloaded.)
  2. Supplemental program application:  The Graduate School General Application Form. (Must use Google Chrome browser.)
    • Academic programs that need to complete the supplemental form:
      • MBA
      • Master of Management
      • Criminal Justice
      • Public Leadership
      • Clinical School Counseling
      • Clinical Mental Health Counseling
      • Educational Leadership
      • Curriculum & Instruction
      • Certification Only - Alternative Teacher Certification (post baccalaureate)
      • Certification Only - Principal Certification (post-master's)
      • Certification Only - Counseling Completion (LPC or School Counseling)
      • Certificate (Graduate) - College and Career Readiness (post baccalaureate)

Do not complete this form if you are pursuing a non-specific post-baccalaureate program (second bachelor's degree or undergraduate non-degree status).

Instructions to Applicants:

  1. Check the Degree Program Requirements & Deadlines page.  Gather those requirements prior to starting this application.  Some required documents must be attached to the Graduate School General Application Form prior to submission.
  2. Complete the Graduate School General Application Form. Submit.
    • When you submit the application form, you will have the opportunity to print or email a copy.
  3. When the Graduate Admissions Office receives the application form and assigns you the UNT Dallas ID# that was generated by your Apply Texas application, you will begin to receive emails from the following email addresses:

Letters of Recommendation:  If you were required to list references on the Graduate School General Application Form, they will be automatically emailed once the Graduate Admissions Office receives and completes your application form.

Please notify those that you select to submit recommendations on your behalf that you have done so; and let them know that they will be receiving an email from GradSchool@untdallas.edu with the subject:  Applicant Recommendation Request Form.

 

NOTE:  To Education and Teacher/Certification programs:  Post Admit Process

Texas Education Agency (TEA) requirements state that UNT Dallas must report newly admitted students in the Educator Certification Online System (ECOS) within 7 days after the university offers admission and the new student accepts admission.

IF the Program Coordinator offers you admission to your desired academic program, you will receive an email from GradSchool@untdallas.edu notifying you of your next step - accept or decline the offer of admission and complete the Code of Ethics Form.

Step 1:  Read and sign the Code of Ethics Form and save to your computer or device.

Step 2:  Click in the email to open the Program Admission Letter & Confirmation Form.  Complete the required fields, attach the Code of Ethics form, sign, and submit.

  • When you submit the application form, you will have the opportunity to print or email a copy.
