Parent (PLUS) Borrowers
Refunds from the Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) will be delivered to the parent borrower via either eRefund or by physical check. PLUS loan funds usually disburse by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to the student's university tuition and fee account. After paying current term charges (not including housing), refunds will be delivered to the parent borrower by paper check.
If PLUS funds are received by paper check at UNT, funds will not be applied to the student's account and will be mailed directly to the parent borrower. Parent(s) and/or the student will be responsible for paying charges at UNT.The University of North Texas and Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TG) have teamed up to provide you a Web-based way of applying for a Federal Stafford Loan called TG Loans By Web.
