1NOTE TO THE STUDENT
There are regulations governing the process of studying for graduate degrees (e.g., maximum registration, transfer of credits). These regulations are stated in the Graduate Catalog. It is the responsibility of the student to learn and observe them.

a. A student who is seeking the Master's degree must meet the requirements for admission to the Graduate School as outlined in the Graduate Catalog. Full admission to a program is contingent upon an acceptable score on the verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Pre?registration and registration are blocked for a second semester of enrollment unless an acceptable GRE score is presented to the graduate dean. (Refer to the current Graduate Catalog under Requirements for Admission to the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies.)

b. "A student who is admitted to non?degree or certification?only status has no assurance that work completed under this status will be applicable toward degree requirements should he or she subsequently be admitted to a degree program at the University of North Texas. A maximum of 12 semester hours earned prior to admission to a degree program may be counted toward degree requirements . . ." (Refer to the current Graduate Catalog under Requirements for Admission to the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies.)
