Making plans for summer 2014?
  
Please invite your student to consider attending classes at UNT. Summer session offers many advantages over regular long semesters:
  • Staying on track for an early or on-time graduation
  • Catching up if a student dropped or did not pass a class during fall or spring semesters
  • Completing pre-requisites for fall classes
  • Attending smaller classes with more one-on-one interaction with professors
  • Taking unique classes that are only offered at this time of year
  • Avoiding tuition and fee increases in future semesters
  • Participating in study abroad, internships, and fun student activities

Students should consult with their advisor or follow the registrar's webpage for more information about summer course offerings and registration deadlines.
