Address Change

If you move, you must report your change of address to the IELI Main Office (MARQ 145) within 10 days of moving. If you are a new student and you didn’t know your permanent address when you filled out your registration forms, please go to the IELI Main Office and fill out an “Address Maintenance” form with your new address.

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 (CVS, Jack in the Box, Subway, Chipotle) from UNT’s campus or in your closed car on campus.

Insurance Waiver

Students who are eligible for the Health Insurance Waiver for Fall II 2015 must turn in the signed waiver form and proof of insurance by Friday, October 30 to Alissa’s office, MARQ 105A. Please speak with Alissa if you have any questions.

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 won’t 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 doesn’t mean there aren’t assignments due for class.
