  4. Advanced Accounting GPA Policy: Accounting majors must have a 2.5 GPA in all ACCT 3000 and ACCT 4000 level courses taken at UNT Dallas or their equivalent taken at other colleges and universities. If this GPA is not met, the student will be required to retake the most recent Accounting course.
