Dear UNT Community,

The university is currently experiencing an outage with its main telephone number. Callers to 940-565-2000 will receive an operator error.
All other telephone numbers are operational at this time. The UNT One Stop and campus operator teams can be reached at 940-487-9439. For assistance with areas within the UNT One Stop (Student Accounting, Financial Aid & Scholarships, Admissions, Money Management Center and Registrar), please visit Scrappy Says or stop by the UNT One Stop in Denton on the 2nd floor of the Eagle Student Services Center, or the UNT One Stop at Frisco Landing.

UNT will share an update when service to the main telephone number is restored.

Outstanding. Opportunity. Tier One.
