June 2025

June 24: Department and student organization table sign-ups are now open for Mean Green Fling, which is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Library Mall, South Lawn, North Green and University Union. You're invited to host a table at the event at no cost to promote your department or student organization to incoming and returning students for the fall. Space is limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also sign up as a volunteer to help with the event.

June 1: A new student resource has landed at UNT, UNT Go, an app designed to help students stay organized and connected to all things UNT — all in one place!

The app helps students stay organized with real-time class schedules, to-dos, Canvas notifications, daily dining hall menus, interactive campus maps, campus events, and key semester dates — all from their phones.

Launched June 1, UNT Go is now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Learn more and download now!

UNT Go is part of the UNT System’s family of new mobile apps and plugs in to the university's commitment to enhancing the student experience with digital tools supporting academic success and campus engagement. While the app’s current functionality is designed for student business, faculty and staff also can download UNT Go and use some of its current features, such as viewing campus maps and upcoming Athletics events, viewing daily dining hall menus, and purchasing parking permits.
