Equity and Diversity


UNT System Equal Opportunity Statement

The University of North Texas at Dallas does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, genetic information, or veteran status in its application and admission processes, educational programs and activities, university facilities, or employment policies, procedures, and processes.

Harassment

UNT Dallas does not tolerate the harassment of students, employees, candidates for positions at the University, and visitors. Harassment is defined as an unwelcome action directed at a person or group of persons because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation that adversely affects a term, condition, or privilege of the work or educational environment. Such behavior is prohibited by University policy and may be considered a violation of the Code of Conduct. For more information, see the University’s policy prohibiting harassment (5.001) at: www.untdallas.edu/hr/upol.

Disability Services

UNT Dallas provides reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities in accordance with state and federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Disability Services Office assists qualified students with disabilities in determining and coordinating appropriate reasonable accommodations and/or auxiliary aids and services, to the extent necessary, for qualified prospective, newly admitted or currently enrolled students. Students with disabilities can register for services with the Disability Services Office after being accepted to UNT Dallas and registering for classes. In order to register for services, students must contact the Assistant Director of Disability Services to set up an intake appointment.

Students requesting a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) must provide current supporting documentation from their physician, educational diagnostician, licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or other qualified professional to the Disability Services Office. Submitted documentation will be reviewed to determine whether the student meets the criteria for disabled as defined by the ADA, and therefore is entitled to reasonable accommodation. For more information, see the University’s policy on disability accommodation for students (7.004) at: www.untdallas.edu/hr/upol.

Students with questions or concerns and those wishing to request an accommodation should call the Disability Services Office at 972-338-1777. Individuals who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind or speech-disabled may contact the Disability Services Office by using Relay Texas.  To contact Relay TX dial 7-1-1.
