We can’t wait to welcome everyone to campus! Move-In Weekend starts at 8 a.m. Friday, Aug. 7. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
|
-
Take extra care when traveling around Denton this month, and keep an eye out especially around one-way streets. It can take a while to get familiar with Denton traffic patterns.
-
Try to get most shopping done early Friday, Saturday or Sunday mornings this weekend to take advantage of tax-free shopping before crowds descend on local retailers.
|
|
| |
|
-
If you’re uncomfortable driving, or need transportation, remember that you can ride DCTA UNT campus shuttles and Denton Connect buses for free with a valid UNT student ID.
|
New students, take your time getting settled and used to your new home. Welcome to the Mean Green Family!
