Welcome to the College of Science Advising Center!
The College of Science Advising Center supports undergraduate students as they navigate
their academic careers. We help with everything from explaining and interpreting degree
requirements to identifying resources to support students' academic journey.
The COS Advising Center will be closed for Winter Break beginning Tuesday, Dec. 23,
2025 and will reopen on Monday, Jan. 5, 2026. Emails received during this time will
be answered in the order received upon our reopening. Click here for helpful resources.
Future Students: If you are a prospective or future student, click here to schedule an appointment.
REMINDER: All students in their first semester at UNT, as well as students who are
on academic alert or probation, are required to meet with an advisor prior to registration.
Incoming first-time-in-college and transfer students are required to attend New Student Orientation to meet with an advisor and register for courses.
