UNT Bridge Features
Q. What resources are available for navigating UNT Bridge?
As a UNT learner, a course called Navigating UNT Bridge is available and has been assigned to you as an optional course to complete under My Learning (Home Page). This five-minute tutorial will show you features that are available to you as a learner. .
Q. Are we graded on these courses?
For some courses, you will be required to meet a certain percentage to pass a course or program. Courses with pre-determined passing scores will have a notification in the course introduction.

The system will record your progress—even if you’re in the middle of a course. When you go back in to continue the course you will be taken to point in the course where you left off. Therefore, Learners, don’t have to re-do any work they’ve already done.
Q. Can I review content even if I’ve already completed the course or program?
Yes, simply click on the course to review the content.
