Where to Find Key UNT Resources: MyUNT, Canvas, Email, and More

Updated

The fastest route to UNT's core tools is the Quicklinks strip on the unt.edu homepage. It lists MyUNT, Canvas, Student Email, and the UNT Directory as direct links, so you can reach any of them in one click without hunting through menus. The same page also groups resources by audience (current students, faculty and staff, alumni, parents, community and visitors) and links to the libraries, calendar, news, campus map, and jobs.

Core Tools and Where They Live

Resource How to reach it What it's for
MyUNT Quicklinks on the homepage Your central portal for account and campus services
Canvas Quicklinks on the homepage Course sites and class materials
Student Email Quicklinks on the homepage Official university email
UNT Directory Quicklinks on the homepage Looking up people across the university
UNT Libraries Quicklinks / footer area Library services and resources
UNT Calendar Quicklinks / footer area Events and academic dates
UNT News Quicklinks / footer area University announcements
Campus Map Quicklinks / footer area Finding buildings and locations
Jobs at UNT Quicklinks / footer area Employment listings

All of these appear as labeled links on the homepage, so the exact placement may shift as the site updates, but the labels stay consistent.

Finding Information by Audience

The homepage's "Info For" section routes you to pages built for a specific group:

  • Current Students — day-to-day tools and student services
  • Faculty + Staff — workplace resources
  • Alumni + Friends — alumni connections and giving
  • Parents + Family — information for families supporting students
  • Community + Visitors — visiting campus and community engagement

If you're unsure where something belongs, start with the audience closest to you; these pages collect the links most relevant to that group in one place.

Searching Programs and Site Content

The homepage search box ("Find what you're looking for at UNT...") searches across the site. To browse academics instead, use the Academics menu, which organizes programs by:

  • Degree type — bachelor's, master's, doctorate, and certificates
  • Location — Denton, Frisco, and Online
  • Subject — from Arts or Design and Business & Industry to STEM, Health & Wellness, and more

UNT states it offers 116 bachelor's, 87 master's, and 39 doctoral degree programs, so filtering by degree type and subject is usually faster than searching by name.

Admissions and Visit Paths

The Admissions menu separates applicants into Freshman, Transfer, International, Graduate, and Non-Degree Seeking, each with its own page. Prospective students can also register for preview events: UNT Future Eagle Preview and UNT Grad Preview, both promoted on the homepage for Oct. 24, where attendees can meet faculty and staff, ask about admission and financial aid, and apply on the spot.

Common Stumbles

  • Bookmark the tools you use daily. MyUNT, Canvas, and email are one click from the homepage, but saving them avoids repeat navigation.
  • Use the audience pages when a tool isn't in Quicklinks. Some services live under "Info For" rather than the main strip.
  • Check the calendar for dates. Academic deadlines and events are listed there rather than on program pages.
