  • Have you taken advantage of the remote parking lots and shuttles yet? Shuttle service to both the North Remote Parking Lot (Frame Street and University Drive) and the Denton Bible Church Remote Parking Lot (2300 E. University Dr.) operates from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Due to construction at Hubbard Hall, the pick up/drop off location for the North Remote Lot has been moved to inside the U-shaped drive (commonly referred to as “Stonehenge”) outside the east first-floor entrance doors of the ACT building. Visit Remote Parking & Shuttles for more information.
  • Get your grub on! Dining options and hours have changed with the start of the fall semester. What else is new? Faculty and staff may now purchase a meal plan with payroll deduction. Bon appétit!
