   WELCOME HOME   
We are so excited that all of our Eagles will soon be returning to campus! Mean Green Move-In begins Friday, Aug. 9, and continues throughout the weekend and into First Flight Week. As you prepare for the big move, don’t forget to check out the move-in guide for helpful tips and important information. Housing and Residence Life staff also will be around to help you settle in. 
If you’re not new to UNT, when you see our newest Eagles navigating campus, be sure to welcome them or share useful tips about the best study spots, dining options or where to find important services! A friendly face and a bit of guidance can help them feel right at home.
Class of 2028, we’ll see you soon!
