How we serve you
System IT keeps the UNT System running, whether you’re checking email, updating grades for more than 40,000 students, or maintaining payroll for 5,000 employees. With over 260 staff at various locations which provide 60 unique services, we’re maintaining UNT System’s technology infrastructure while supporting the hardware and software that students, faculty, and staff require.
We provide service for customers and programs at all UNT System institutions:

- University of North Texas at Dallas
- University of North Texas Health Science Center
Take a look at how we serve the people of the UNT System:
Students
System IT provides the services to help students become successful at the UNT System, starting with the recruiting and enrollment process. We receive and store applications, test scores, and transcripts before taking students through advising and registration. Students manage financial aid and housing online from any device through my.unt.edu.
System IT also makes life smoother for students by ensuring their demographic information is made available in computer systems used for housing, parking, dining services, scholarships, and financial aid to each campus, so students don’t have to duplicate information on multiple forms.
If a student experiences trouble with email, registering for classes, or any other issue, they can contact the helpdesk for their campus to receive assistance.
Top services provided to students are:
- myUNT: The UNT student academic and business portal.
- myDallas: The UNT Dallas student academic and business portal.
- myHSC: The UNTHSC student academic and business portal.
- Account Management System: Manage EUID account and password.
- EagleConnect: Access campus email.
- Canvas: Learning management system for online and blended courses.
Faculty
System IT provides the foundation for Canvas, the learning management system that allows faculty to conduct online classes and discussions with students. System IT also provides the infrastructure to record and monitor grades.
If faculty need help with grants, System IT has a system for keeping track of deadlines and applications.
Top services provided to faculty are:
- myHR - Employee Self Service: The UNT System faculty and staff business portal.
- Canvas: Learning management system for online and blended courses.
- SharePoint: Intranet platform for department websites.
Staff
System IT helps employees before their first day on the job and long after leaving.
Newly hired employees can complete new hire forms online. They can keep track of information such as vacation days, benefit signup, and salary level through the campus portal. Staff members also can get a UNT email address that stays with them after they’ve retired.
System IT also helps with the business tasks of UNT. Thanks to e-Pro software, purchase requests are submitted online instead of on paper forms previously routed from department to department. Such streamlined processes make work more efficient and less time-consuming.
System IT also hosts the software for payroll, donations, finance, budgeting, and document collaboration.
Top services provided to staff are:
- Human Resources payroll information systems
- Financial Information Systems
- SharePoint
- Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge
UNT System
System IT also provides the infrastructure that operates the computer hardware, servers, and telephone systems for all System entities. System IT handles the technology for emergency alerts, which quickly informs the UNT community about campus emergencies or closings.
The department also serves as the main point of contact for computer security for every system institution. If you suspect you have received a phishing email or hacking attempt, contact them right away so they can begin incident response procedures.
