Parking:

Visitor parking is available in various locations on campus, but requires a visitor parking permit during weekday hours. Visitor permits are allowed in any area designated on the visitor pass issued from the Parking Office (at the Highland Street Garage), the Gateway Information Booth on North Texas Boulevard or the Information Booth on Avenue C. (See these locations on the map below.)

Parking Information Locations

Two parking garages are located on Ave. A between Maple and Highland streets, and on Welch street, east of the University Union building. Both are approximately the same distance to the College of Music building. Rates for the parking garage are $2.00 per hour or $10.00 per day. For the Friday session, some may find the parking garage more convenient (for special accommodations, please see the UNT Service Officer at the information booth located at the Gateway Center or on Avenue C at Chestnut).

Please allow ample time for parking and travel to the Music Building, since the UNT campus can be quite congested.

A number of public transit opportunties are available in Denton, including commuter rail that connects with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (A-train), an in-Denton bus system, and a UNT Campus Shuttle system.
