Distributed/Residential Course Rotations
Distributed courses are offered in a specific sequence of course and events for each cohort. Courses are offered as supported by enrollments and may change as determined by the program.
For students whose cohort started in the Fall (Cohorts 24, 25, 26), click below to view
For students whose cohort started in the Summer, click below to view
Note: Students must meet with their major professor before Summer to see if they must take Tools Courses
Degree Plan
Students must file a degree plan within the first 12 hours of course work and after admission to the program. Once filed with the Graduate School, an electronic copy of your approved degree plan will be emailed to you for documentation and reference purposes. Any deviations from your approved degree plan will require an official degree plan change. Contact your major advisor or LT-PHD@unt.edu if you have questions or need assistance with filing your degree plan.
AGF Roles and Responsibilities
To better understand how you should expect to work with your Associate Graduate Faculty (AGF), please review the following document: AGF Roles and Responsibilities
Financial Aid
Students should visit http://financialaid.unt.edu/ for details on Financial Aid and the application process.
Canvas
- Instructure Canvas is the official learning management system (LMS), however, it may not be the only one you encounter in Learning Technologies. Because part of our purview as a department is learning about, using, and studying a variety learning management systems, you may have courses in different systems ranging from Moodle to Schoology over the course of your time in the program.
- The link for you to access Canvas is https://unt.instructure.com and your courses should automatically populate as your instructors make them active. You will login with your EUID and password.
- Coursework will often be submitted through Canvas, though some instructors will ask you to send by email or through another system.
- There is a Guide and Help built into the left-hand menu within Canvas for everyday questions. If you need additional help, first email UNT’s Center for Learning, Experimentation, Application, and Research (CLEAR) at clearhelp@unt.edu or call 940-565-2708. If you are still stuck, contact your instructor.
Advising
- If you have questions about your degree plan, courses are canceled and you need to substitute for a semester, issues the Registrar cannot address, or other major challenges that require advising, please contact your major advisor or LT-PHD@unt.edu if you have questions or need assistance.
- Always contact your instructor and try to resolve course issues with them first.
- We cannot address course content or requirements.
- If you require an Incomplete due to medical or other serious issues, always start with your instructor who should request it. You will need to fill out a form and have it signed by the appropriate parties.
Graduation
