STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
Dallas County Community College District and University of North Texas hereby enter into the following agreement governing the matriculation of Dallas County Community College District students to the University of North Texas. This contract shall commence on September 1, 2000. And shall continue until such time as either or both institutions wish to terminate it. This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of students’ transfer from Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) (including all of the following DCCCD campuses: Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Eastfield, El Centro, Mountain View, North Lake, and Richland) to the University of North Texas (UNT) (including the UNT System Center at Dallas).
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
In order to facilitate and improve the transfer process for our mutual students, DCCCD and UNT hereby enter into the following agreement:
DCCCD students who follow the recommended program of study – the common core and transfer curriculum, and who meet all other admissions requirements shall be eligible for admission to UNT. Transfer students must meet the same standards and criteria for admission to a major degree sequence as a native UNT student.
UNT and DCCCD will jointly develop Transfer Guides and a Course Equivalency Guide, utilizing both UNT and DCCCD numbers for all majors offered at UNT. Students may access all transfer guides by visiting UNT. This web site will be maintained by the UNT Articulation Coordinator. By creating these guides UNT and DCCCD assure students that courses listed in these guides are freely transferable between UNT and DCCCD.
Representatives from UNT and the DCCCD will meet or make contact during August of each year to update course equivalencies, transfer guides and transfer admission information to be used the subsequent academic year.
A student transferring to UNT under this agreement shall have acceptance of academic credit hours earned at DCCCD, with the following condition that the curricular and general conditions be met:
- Transfer students will receive academic credit for transferable college level courses only completed with a grade of "D" or better. Remedial and developmental courses will not be accepted in transfer. Courses transferred with grades of, "D" to UNT may not apply toward certain majors.
- The student must have a G.P.A. of: 2.50 if transferring below 30 hours, 2.25 with 30-44 hours, and 2.0 with 45+ hours (some majors may require a higher G.P.A. for admission.)
- Students must complete 31 credit hours in residence at UNT; 24 of the last 30 hours must be taken at UNT and 42 hours must be upper-division.
