Tiny house construction on west side

Students from the College of Architecture, Planning and Public Affairs are building tiny houses as their senior design projects on Davis Street, between Greek Row Boulevard and UTA Boulevard. How small? One house is only 360 square feet, and the largest is 390 square feet. In their coursework, faculty and students are calling the structures "micro houses." LEARN MORE.

Be prepared for UT Share downtime this coming weekend

The UT Share PeopleSoft applications for Human Resources and Finance are moving to a new hardware and network environment. Those applications will not be available starting at 5 p.m. Friday, April 7, through Monday, April 10.

Complete any critical tasks—cash advances, expense reports, requisitions, vouchers, etc...—or outstanding approvals as early as possible to ensure a minimal impact to your department.

Hyperion Budgeting will be available during this time.

A message will be sent when UT Share is relaunched with a new web address. Update browser bookmarks, favorites, and links. You also may be required to create an exception to your browser’s pop-up blocker.

The new environment has improvements for system performance, reliability, and disaster recovery.

Email batraining@uta.edu for questions or concerns.
