NEXT STEPS: Apply to UNT. There is no separate admissions process for the College of Visual Arts and Design. Once you are admitted to UNT, it is university policy that all new/transfer students attend UNT Orientation. During Orientation, your academic advisor will review your transcripts, ask you about your goals and plans, and go over specific recommendations based on these things. If you have circumstances that prevent your attendance at Orientation, please contact the Transfer Orientation Office, unt.transfer@unt.edu.
A portfolio for any CVAD program is not accepted from incoming new or transfer students. An entry portfolio will be created from work completed in CVAD courses.
