UNT Printing

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 UNT’s campus (on the side of Hickory Street near CVS, Jack in the Box, Subway, etc.) or in your closed car on campus.

Idiom

(From) all walks of life: (From) all social, economic, and ethnic groups. It comes from the idea that everyone has their own path to walk in life and they are all different. "IELI has students from different countries, different cultures, and different living styles all coming together. They come from all walks of life."

UNT students are given a $10 printing credit per semester (16 weeks) for use at UNT libraries or computer lab on campus.
