Bad Weather Make sure your contact information is updated on Eagle Alert at my.unt.edu. When UNT is closed for bad weather, Eagle Alert will send you an email, a text message, or a phone call so that you will know immediately when UNT is closed for bad weather and you wont have to travel to campus.

If school is closed for bad weather, all students are responsible for keeping up with assignments on Blackboard. Just because the school is closed doesnt mean there arent assignments due for class.

Smoke-Free UNT UNT is a smoke-free campus. Absolutely no one is allowed to smoke on campus. This includes inside buildings, on sidewalks, or in parking lots. This means you cannot smoke outside of Marquis Hall between classes. You are allowed to smoke across the street from UNTs campus (beyond Mulberry Street) or in your closed car on campus.

(To) call it a night: To stop an activity for the rest of the night. It often implies the speaker wishes to go to sleep. Its good to use after working on something for a long time. Let's call it a night and meet back in Marquis Hall at 7:00 tomorrow morning to finish the project.
