JOIN THE PARENT ASSOCIATION Established by parents for parents, the UNT Parent Association supports positive relationships between parents, students and the university. The organization boasts more than 1,500 members, and is a great resource for family members looking for ways to get involved at UNT. The Parent Association is a proud supporter of student scholarships, with a significant portion of each membership fee going to help students.

Parent Association Meetings The Parent Association meets twice a year to discuss official business, plan for future events and determine the executive board.

Finals Goodie Boxes To encourage students during finals, the Association bands together twice a year to make goodie boxes. Goodie boxes are made on campus and delivered to each student whose parent is an Association member.

Volunteer Opportunities Current UNT parents are encouraged to help incoming UNT families. Parent Association members volunteer at Parent Orientation and Summer Send-Off Parties.
