Late Arrival

Fall 2023 Late Arrival Requests are no longer accepted. This page will be updated for Spring 2024 prior to December 2023. 

The standard UNT arrival deadline for Fall 2023 is Wednesday, August 16th, 2023. We strongly recommend that you plan to arrive before August 16th, 2023 to find housing, finalize enrollment and payments, complete required TB testing (if applicable) and orient yourself with Denton prior to the start of classes on August 21st, 2023. If you cannot arrive prior to August 16th, 2023, you may be eligible for a late arrival. You can request permission to arrive after August 16th via iNorthTX. Please note: the late arrival request will not be available prior to August 1st to allow enough time for you to secure your earliest visa appointment. Please make every effort to secure your visa and flights to the United States prior to August 16th and only request a late arrival if absolutely necessary. The late arrival request is no longer available as of 8/28/2023.
