Refunds and Repayments
See Tuition and Fee Information for withdrawal and drop refund information.
If a student officially or unofficially withdraws, ceases attendance, or is administratively withdrawn from UNT, he or she will owe a repayment of the financial aid funds to the program(s) from which they (or their parents) were awarded (thus owing a debt to the university). Federal regulations require post-secondary institutions to calculate the amount of Title IV funds (aid) earned during the term from which the student withdrew. Factors considered in the calculation include: date of withdrawal, the total amount of Title IV aid eligibility, tuition and fee charges, room and board charges (if applicable), and class attendance. Please view Student Financial Aid and Scholarship's policy on withdrawing from the University by visiting http://financialaid.unt.edu/withdrawing-university.
Note: Official transcripts are not released to any student who has an unpaid account or has defaulted on loans received from any university.
