Payment/Disbursement of Financial Aid Funds

  • Payment of financial aid funds to undergraduate students will occur once you establish half-time (6 undergraduate hours) attendance.
  • Payment of financial aid funds to graduate students will occur once you establish half-time (4 graduate hours) attendance.
  • State and institutional grant funds will be disbursed in one disbursement on the 1st class day of the session in which you establish half-time attendance.
  • Federal grant payments will be made based on your annual limit and disbursed based on your summer enrollment status.
  • Loan funds will be disbursed in one disbursement. Our office will request the disbursement from the lender on the 1st class day of the session in which you establish half-time attendance.
  • Following the request of loan funds from the lender, you can expect actual disbursement of these funds to be posted into your tuition and fee account in 3-4 business days.
  • If you have been awarded your maximum Stafford loan eligibility during the Fall/Spring 2008-2009 terms, you will not be eligible for loan funds during the Summer 2009 term.

Attendance and Withdrawal Information

  • You must adhere to class attendance requirements as defined by the university if you enroll in Internet classes.
  • Dropping courses below half-time attendance prior to disbursement of financial aid may result in your becoming ineligible for all non-disbursed aid. Additionally, if class attendance is not established, you could be ineligible for disbursed aid and therefore owe a debt to the university.
  • If you register for summer classes and decide not to attend, you are REQUIRED to notify BOTH Student Financial Aid and Scholarships AND the Registrar's Office immediately to begin the withdrawal process.
  • If you withdraw from UNT prior to the 60% point of the summer term, you may owe a repayment of financial aid funds to the program(s) from which they were awarded (thus owing a debt to the university).
  • Failure to officially withdraw may result in the receipt of failing grades and you may owe a repayment of financial aid funds to the program(s) from which they were awarded (thus owing a debt to the university).
  • Students who receive failing grades (F's, WF's and/or NP's) in ALL classes while also receiving federal financial aid may owe a repayment of financial aid funds to the program(s) from which they were awarded (thus owing a debt to the university).
  • Withdrawing from classes or failing to complete and pass registered hours may affect your future eligibility for financial aid. You must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements to maintain eligibility for financial aid as defined by Student Financial Aid & Scholarships.
  • If you have outstanding charges from a previous award year, you must pay your balance before any current term funds will be posted to your tuition and fee account.

For Your Information

  • If the total amount of your Pending Aid (Anticipated Aid) does not cover your full tuition and fee balance, arrangements for the difference must be made in Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services to prevent your classes from being dropped regardless of whether your financial aid and scholarship proceeds are available by the payment deadline. Pending Aid is: (1) Scholarships you have been awarded, and/or (2) financial aid you have "Accepted" on myUNT. Pending Aid does NOT include Work Study or Parent (PLUS) Loans or Grad PLUS Loans that have been denied due to adverse credit history by the borrower's lender. The Parent (PLUS) Loan or Grad PLUS Loan will count toward Pending Aid if the Parent (PLUS) Loan borrower or Grad PLUS Loan borrower has completed Loans by Web, does not have an adverse credit history, and Student Financial Aid and Scholarships has received a credit approval from the borrower's lender.
  • Financial aid eligibility is based on your undergraduate or graduate career and academic program. If you graduate or are admitted to a graduate program prior to Summer 2009, your aid eligibility must be re-evaluated. It is your responsibility to notify Student Financial Aid and Scholarships at any point your academic program changes.  Please refer to Important Information to determine eligibility for graduate and post-baccalaureate academic programs.
  • Scholarship checks should be submitted to Student Financial Aid and Scholarships for posting and disbursement before the payment deadline of the summer session(s) in which you enroll.
  • Concurrent Enrollment Agreements are not processed during the summer term.
  • Questions regarding the refund process at UNT can be addressed with Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services in the Eagle Student Services Center or online here.

Reminders

  • Register early for summer classes!
  • Grant funding is limited for the summer. Apply early!
  • Check your “To Do List” on myUNT  and your EagleMail daily to verify and finalize any pending items. The later a student submits their FAFSA and/or Summer Application, the later their funds will be available. Students who file a late FAFSA application will be expected to pay their own expenses and wait until their funds arrive to be reimbursed.
  • Maximum annual Stafford loan eligibility received during Fall/Spring always reduces or eliminates summer Stafford loan eligibility.
  • Awards can be “accepted” or “declined” on myUNT.
  • Visit our office if you have questions about your summer aid eligibility.
  • Check our website regularly for news and important updates including UNT’s financial aid Priority Dates for Fall/Spring 2009-2010.
