About
Family Weekend is the first big event of the year for students and their families. A variety of activities make Family Weekend a special time for students to share their new environment with friends, parents, and family members. Whether you live near or far, we want you to join your UNT family for a weekend of fun!
Due to restrictions in place for gatherings, this year's Family Weekend program will be online. In addition to many online program options, we have organized some events for students that live on-campus to participate in on their own. From online trivia or game nights to adventure hunts on campus, we hope that there is something for everyone this Family Weekend!
All events are open to registered participants. Most events have passwords for the security of the program. Event passwords will be sent to registered participants the Wednesday before Family Weekend begins. Check your Family Weekend confirmation email for more information!
