Short-Term Loans
Short-term loans are available to students who are enrolled and meet the criteria below. The loans are awarded for the minimum amount of tuition and fees each semester. The loans are posted to the student account in order to make the first payment in the Fall or Spring or the entire payment in a summer semester.
Students must meet the following criteria in order to qualify for a loan:
- No outstanding blocks (Service Indicators preventing the student from receiving a Short Term Loan).
- No outstanding loans (Service Indicator showing loan default status).
- Students who have previously defaulted on a short-term loan that has been sent to a collection agency are not eligible to receive short-term loans.
Students can apply for short-term loans in person at Student Accounting on the Denton campus, located in Room 105 of the Eagle Student Services Center. Students may also apply for short-term loans in person at the UNT System Center in Dallas.
All loans must be repaid by the established due date in order to avoid collection costs. Unpaid loans are subject to being submitted to an outside collection agency.
The following fees are not covered by a short-term loan and must be paid before a short-term loan is awarded: Property Deposit, Late Registration Fee, Sponsored student fees, THEA fee, Credit by exam fee and Miscellaneous Fees (parking, health center, new student orientation fee).
Students will be placed on the installment plan before obtaining a Short Term Loan for the fall or spring semesters. Short Term Loans can be issued to pay the first installment amount if a student's anticipated aid is not enough to cover the first installment amount. Short Term Loans are issued for the first installment amount minus any anticipated aid amount. Interest on Short Term Loans is currently 5% APR and accrues daily.
Memorial Loans are available through the Student Money Management Center. A Memorial Loan is a resource to address unanticipated or emergency expenses. A one-time 1% origination fee is applied to the loan.
Students can apply online for a memorial loan at the following website http://www.unt.edu/moneymanagement . Once the loan is approved and processed, the student will receive an e-mail from the Student Money Management Center that the check is ready. The student will be instructed to go to the Student Money Management Center in Chestnut Hall, room 313 or to the UNT Dallas Campus.
