Failure to Respond to a Reasonable Directive of University Official
All students are expected to comply with a reasonable directive of a UNTD official, including campus police, the Director of Student Affairs, and any UNTD instructor, administrator or employee acting in the performance of their official duties. Refusal of any person while on institutional property to comply with an order from authorized officials to leave such premises or cease behavior that violates the Code is prohibited.
It is the responsibility of each student to answer promptly all written notices from UNTD faculty and staff. Failure to respond in a timely manner will be construed as a waiver of the student’s right to respond and, in appropriate circumstances, may result in disciplinary action on the part of the institution.
Campus Carry (SB-11)
In the 2015 session, the Texas Legislature passed and Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law legislation commonly known as “campus carry.” It allows those with concealed handgun licenses to carry their guns on the campuses of public universities in Texas, beginning Aug. 1, 2016.
UNT Dallas is preparing to implement and comply with this new law, which allows for each university to develop policies that take into account the specific safety considerations of its campus. View a copy of the UNT Dallas policy.
