UNION CIRCLE CONSTRUCTION

Starting May 12, the City of Denton will begin construction on Union Circle near the University Union as part of a voter-approved bond project for road improvements. This will limit access to Union Circle Garage through the summer and fall, and campus shuttle stops in the area will be relocated.

To help ease the impact on those who use Union Circle Garage for hourly parking, Transportation Services will add more pay-to-park spots in Lots 4, 8, 24 and 34.

For further updates, monitor UNT Transportation's news page or follow their information on Facebook, Instagram or X.

FIND YOUR ONLINE COMMUNITY

The new Online Student Peer Mentoring program offers a great way to connect with UNT’s online student community!

Apply for a chance to be matched with a peer mentor, get support and make the most of your UNT experience. Complete three meetings with your mentor this semester to earn an Online Student Experience Honor Cord for commencement.

CALLING ALL EAGLES

Help UNT improve support, policies and practices by taking the HEDS Sexual Assault Campus Climate Survey. Your anonymous feedback will help inform efforts to prevent unwanted sexual contact and sexual assault on campus. The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete and is open to all.
