SUCCEED AT UNT: FIND SUPPORT

As we near the end of the semester, we want to make sure you’re getting all the help you need to finish this term at the top of your game.

Find Support within your UNT community by:

Learning about Counseling and Testing Services
Scheduling a tutoring session with The Learning Center
Becoming financially responsible with help from the Student Money Management Center
Receiving legal guidance from Student Legal Services
Visiting the UNT Food Pantry
Connecting with UNT alumni through Mean Green Mentors
Reviewing student support services at Frisco
Checking out resources for students taking online courses

Watch David’s video to see how they took advantage of campus resources for support. While this concludes our series on the seven keys to succeed at UNT, we want to remind you that no matter where your journey takes you, you’ll always be part of the Mean Green Family!

EAGLE ALERT TEST

A UNT Eagle Alert system test is scheduled for Friday, April 19. The system notifies the UNT community about ongoing emergency situations and university closings by sending text and voice messages by phone and displaying a full-screen alert on campus computers and presentation screens.

UNT students should check their contact information and update if needed at my.unt.edu ("profile" tile) to ensure they receive the test messages and future alerts.

MONEY MONTH

Grow your financial knowledge! Money-management events are taking place throughout April at all UNT campuses — in-person and online. Each time you attend a Money Month event, you are entered into a weekly drawing for a Barbie-themed Stanley tumbler.

Also hosted by Student Money Management is a new online Financial Fitness Boot Camp. Explore modules on finances, budgeting and saving — students who complete the welcome and farewell course surveys will be entered into a drawing for a special Money Month gift. This series will close on Tuesday, April 30.

SPOT SURVEYS

Check your inbox! SPOT course evaluations for Spring 2024 are now open. Surveys were sent on April 15 to your official UNT email account. Complete each class survey with your honest feedback to help instructors and university departments continuously improve courses.
