Important Reminders
- Register early for summer classes!
- Check “My To Do List” on myUNT at 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.
- Awards can be “accepted” or “declined” on myUNT at myUNT.
- Grant funding is limited for the summer. Apply early!
- Maximum annual Stafford loan eligibility received during Fall/Spring always reduces or eliminates summer Stafford loan eligibility.
- Check our website regularly for news and important updates including UNT’s financial aid Priority Dates for Fall/Spring 2008-2009.

For Your Information
- If the total amount of your 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. Anticipated Aid is: (1) Scholarships the student has been awarded, and/or (2) financial aid the student has "Accepted" on my UNT. Anticipated aid does NOT include Work Study or Parent (PLUS) Loans. If the total of your Anticipated Aid does not cover your full balance, payment for the difference must be made on your student account to prevent your classes from being dropped. These payments can be made online on MyUNT.
- If you have registered for summer classes and decide not to attend, you MUST notify BOTH Student Financial Aid and Scholarships AND the Registrar's Office immediately. If you fail to officially withdraw, you may owe a repayment of your financial aid funds to the program(s) from which they were awarded (thus owing a debt to the university).
- If you participate in the eRefund process, Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services will electronically transmit refunds to your bank account. You should log onto myUNT to verify that your tuition and fees have been paid before your appropriate deadline.
- 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 the summer term, your aid eligibility will be re-evaluated. Please refer to Important Information to determine eligibility for specific academic programs with limited financial aid eligibility.
- If a scholarship check is sent directly to you, bring it to Student Financial Aid and Scholarships for posting and disbursement before the payment deadline of the summer session(s) in which you enroll.
Attendance and Withdrawal Information

- Students who fail to officially withdraw may owe a repayment of financial aid funds to the program(s) from which they were awarded (thus owing a debt to the university).
