Early Start is a summer bridge program designed to assist incoming freshmen with successfully transitioning from high school to college. All incoming freshmen are eligible, though first-generation and low-income students are especially encouraged to apply. Students enroll in 6 credit-hours of coursework during UNT's 5W2 summer session and live alongside other participants in a designated residence hall.
