Animal Control

The North Texas region is home to a diverse ecosystem and it is not out of the ordinary for wildlife to occasionally appear on campus.  If you see wildlife that may be in danger or may pose a danger to the UNT community, you should quickly notify the appropriate offices on campus.

  • If you or someone else is in need of immediate medical assistance or in a life-threatening situation, dial 911.  
  • Contact Facilities Work Control at 940-565-2700 if you spot an animal or critter on campus that is in danger or may pose a threat to the campus community.

Learn more about Texas wildlife by visiting the website of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
