STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS

Remember to log in to the Eagle Scholarship Portal to submit your application(s)! Various scholarship opportunities for specific classifications and majors have upcoming deadlines, so don’t miss the chance to maximize the awards you could receive.

Begin with the portal guide to familiarize yourself with the process. Then learn more about UNT scholarships and requirements before applying.

PASS OR NO PASS

The last day to change an undergraduate course to pass/no pass for the spring full term is Friday, Feb. 23. These hours are not used in calculating grade point averages but count as full credit.

Graduate students may only declare pass/no pass options for undergraduate courses that are not part of their graduate degree requirement. Undergraduate students in good standing may schedule one course a semester on the pass/no pass option, while seniors may select more than one during their final semester.

Read more about the pass/no pass option requirements to see if you qualify.

CMHT CAREER EXPO

If you’re a College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism major looking for internship or job opportunities, save the date for the CMHT Career Expo from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 29, in the University Union Emerald Ballroom 314.

Dress in professional business attire to make a good impression. Select employers will invite student candidates to individual interviews from 2 to 4 p.m. after the Expo.

SCRAPPY'S SIGHTS

How well do you know UNT’s Denton campus?

Spanning almost 1,000 acres, UNT has one of the top five largest campus grounds in Texas. This week, we want to see if trekking across campus is paying off — do you know which building this bird bath fountain sits in front of? Send an email with the correct location to be entered into a random drawing for a UNT T-shirt. The answer will be revealed in a future UNT Weekly issue!
