Undergraduate Advising

Current Undergraduate College of Music Students

 

Welcome to Our Advising Page!

The College of Music Undergraduate Advising Office offers academic advising to all undergraduate students interested in majoring or minoring in music at UNT. By working with an advisor, students learn about the many resources available to all UNT students. Advisors help students make informed decisions regarding their degree progress and educational planning.

Graduate students should seek academic advising through the UNT College of Music Office of Graduate Studies.

Prospective student questions may be directed to CollegeofMusic@unt.edu.

We are happy to meet with students however they feel most comfortable. Virtual and in-person drop-ins are available, as well as individual appointments scheduled ahead of time. To sign in for an in-person drop-in or appointment, please stop by Chilton 211 between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM Monday through Friday and sign in at the kiosk located on the front desk.

Scheduled appointments—both in-person and online—and online drop-ins are available via the Navigate app.
