General Application Process and Documents Required
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal Application to apply for all federal, state and institutional aid available through UNT. List the UNT Title IV school code in Section H. The number is 003594 . Apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Within approximately four weeks, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) and the financial aid office will receive your application information data. At that time, you will be notified by mail and through the my UNT portal of any additional information or documentation required to complete your file. Once your file is complete, you will be notified by mail and through the my UNT portal of your financial aid award status through a Financial Aid Notification letter.
New or transfer students who have applied for financial aid at another institution are responsible for requesting their financial aid information be sent by the federal processor to UNT. Financial aid awards do not transfer from one institution to another.
If applying for summer financial aid, a UNT Financial Aid Summer Application must be completed in addition to the previous academic year FAFSA or Renewal Application. The Summer Application must be completed on myUNT. The following documents are necessary when applying for financial aid. Not every document will be required of everyone.
