SCRAPPY'S FINALS COUNTDOWN

Soar through finals week! Find the complete schedule of events on the official Finals Countdown website, your go-to guide for everything Scrappy has in store to help you conquer your exams.

Be sure you know the time and location of your final exams, as they may differ from your regular class schedule and take a moment to review UNT’s exam policies to learn more about Pre-Finals Days, Reading Day and rescheduling a final (if needed).

EAGLE ALERT POST-TEST

UNT’s Eagle Alert system sent a test message to students, faculty, staff and UNT System staff on Friday, April 19. Because the Eagle Alert system is intended to communicate vital, urgent information in potentially life-threatening situations, the university maintains strict criteria for initiating an alert.

If you are on or near campus and receive an Eagle Alert, it is crucial that you pay attention to the message. Learn about Eagle Alert and check your contact information at my.unt.edu. We suggest saving an Eagle Alert contact in your phone, so you'll know the source of the call (940-369-8097) or text message (89361).

FACILITIES SURVEY

The UNT Facilities team needs your help.

Take this survey and provide your feedback about construction maps used in their social media so they can determine which elements are easiest for students to understand. Your response will improve how they communicate future information. Thank you for helping our hardworking Facilities crew!

SHARE YOUR RESEARCH

Students may submit poster abstracts for University Research Day, where students and faculty share their research and connect with one another over ideas that are shaping the broader research landscape.

If you have high-impact, innovative and educational research, submit your abstract poster proposal by Friday, May 31; applicants will be notified if they are selected by mid June.
