Applications are processed by the Graduate School and then forwarded to the department if they meet all the previous departments' requirements.

The department is aware of the appointments that international students make in their countries to receive the proper documentation to attend UNT.

The CSE department will NOT advise or answer these questions. Information about an applicant will NOT be given out via telephone, so please email the CSE Graduate Coordinator at csegrad@unt.edu
