Grayson College and the University of North Texas (UNT) have partnered to simplify
the transfer process and support students as they pursue their educational and career
goals.
The agreement, signed by Grayson College President Dr. Jeremy McMillen and UNT President
Dr. Harrison Keller, formalizes a shared commitment to student success and seamless
academic transition between the two institutions.
“This partnership with UNT allows Grayson College students to take the next step in
their academic journey with confidence, knowing their hard work here directly connects
to their future goals,” Dr. McMillen said. “Together, we’re helping students turn
their vision for the future into reality.”
Through the agreement, Grayson College students who complete an associate degree with
a GPA of 3.0 or higher and transfer to UNT are eligible for a $500 transfer bonus
award. The partnership also enhances engagement opportunities through the UNT Eagle
Bound Program, which provides advising, outreach and transfer support for students
preparing to continue their studies at UNT.
“As we advance our bold vision at UNT for pursuing excellence, innovation, and access
to a transformational education, we know this is only possible with partners like
Grayson College,” Dr. Keller said. “This partnership will expand educational and economic
opportunities for individual students and help provide the talent our North Texas
region needs.”
Grayson College and UNT share a mission centered on student achievement, workforce
readiness and educational access. By creating clear and intentional pathways, the
institutions aim to ensure that every student, whether entering the workforce or pursuing
advanced degrees, has the guidance, resources and support needed to succeed.
To kick off the transfer partnership, UNT will be hosting Transfer Express at Grayson
College Nov. 11. At this event, Grayson students can connect with UNT admissions counselors,
learn more about Eagle Bound, submit their admissions applications onsite, as well
as receive an application fee waiver.
This event as well as the partnership reflects Grayson College’s ongoing effort to
strengthen transfer and workforce pathways, ensuring that every student has a clear
next step after graduation.
