Registration
I am being asked to enter a code. How do I get my code?
If you are on academic alert or probation you will be required to meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss your schedule and obtain a code to register. If you are trying to register for an internship or special problems course, you can stop by BA 123 to obtain your code.
I can't register for upper level business courses.
Students classified as BUND (Business Undecided) or PACC (Pre-Accounting) are blocked from enrolling in upper level (3000-4000 level) business courses. If you are (or will be) eligible for upper level business courses for the next semester, you must meet with an advisor
prior to registration to have the block removed.
I am getting a message that says "Maximum Term Unit Load Exceeded".
If you get this message, you have tried to register for more than the maximum number of hours allowed for that term. An advisor can approve an overload if you meet the qualifications listed in the UNT catalog under Student Load.
What do I do if the class I am trying to register for is full?
The Advising Office cannot add you to courses that are full. You can always check with individual departments to see if a waiting list is being offered.
Are evening, Internet, or Saturday classes available?
Evening, Internet, and Saturday classes are available by several departments campus-wide.
