North Texas Now! Program

Beginning with the Class of 2028 and beyond, the UNT NOW! program will no longer be offered to new students, and the dual credit partnership will be discontinued. Frisco ISD is actively partnering with Collin College to explore the development of a comparable program opportunity for future students. Additional details regarding the new partnership will be shared as they become available. For more information, please see the UNT Press Release.

Through North Texas NOW!, Frisco ISD juniors and seniors take a half-day of dual credit classes at the UNT campus in Frisco and then spend the remainder of the day at the home campus.

The collaborative, two-year, interdisciplinary, project-based learning experience is designed to help students see the relevance of course content as they apply it to solve real-world problems.

The North Texas NOW! program is a set pathway that focuses on the 42-semester-credit-hour Texas Core Curriculum. Core requirements are common to all public colleges and universities in Texas, and a completed Texas Core Curriculum is fully transferable between public higher education institutions in Texas.
