While this information is intended to be comprehensive, tuition, fees, and room and board are subject to increase or decrease without notice by action of the Texas Legislature and/or the Board of Regents of UNT. Students are responsible for any additional amounts due UNT resulting from post audits and corrections, including all fees and waivers (i.e. registration assessing errors, changing from off-campus to on-campus classes, invalid employment waivers, etc.). For current information on tuition and fees, visit the Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services web site (essc.unt.edu/saucs). Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services is open from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. See essc.unt.edu/saucs for current tuition and fees.
Students are responsible for payment of the following charges.
The UNT Board of Regents has been granted the authority, within established guidelines, to set graduate tuition rates by program.

Please visit the Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services web site (essc.unt.edu/saucs) for the most current tuition and fee rates.

Visit the Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services web site (essc.unt.edu/saucs) for current fees.
Student service fees are assessed in proportion to the number of semester credit hours for which a student registers to cover the cost of student services that directly involve or benefit students, including, but not limited to, recreational activities, artist and lecture series, cultural entertainment series, debating and oratorical activities and student government.
A fixed student union fee is collected from each enrolled student for the purpose of operating, maintaining, improving and equipping the University Union. Activities financed by the student union fee are limited to those in which the entire student body is eligible to participate.
The technology use fee is collected in proportion to the number of credit hours for which a student registers to defray costs associated with the addition of instructional equipment in classrooms and student computer laboratories, development of the degree audit system and instruction-related activities in the Computing Center.
The library use fee is collected in proportion to the number of credit hours for which a student registers to support the development and maintenance of library collections and to provide expanded operating hours and other services to meet student needs.
The fixed medical services fee is used solely to provide medical services to students enrolled at the university.
A fixed international education fee is collected from each enrolled student to be used in support of an international education financial aid fund. This fund allows an equal opportunity for all students to participate in student exchange and study abroad programs.
A fixed publication fee is collected from each enrolled student to defray costs associated with publication and distribution of schedules of classes, catalogs and other publications available to all students.
A fixed recreational facility fee is collected from each enrolled student for the purpose of constructing and operating the Recreational Facility on campus.
The transportation fee supports the shuttle bus system that transports students to, and around, various locations on campus.
The undergraduate advising fee supports the advising process for undergraduate students.
A fixed international student fee is charged to all non-immigrant visa students for each term in which they enroll in UNT. The fee is billed with tuition and other fees and is in addition to totals listed above.
Each student who enrolls pays a property damage deposit that is refundable on request upon final withdrawal or graduation. If not claimed within four years after last enrollment date, the deposit is non-refundable. Refund request forms are available at Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services.
Instructional fees fall into three fee categories: course fees, laboratory fees and special service fees. Please note that for billing purposes, these fee categories are grouped together and billed as one instructional fee.
Instructional fees are due at the time of registration or the payment deadline for early registered students. These fees are refundable according to the university refund policy. If a student desires to know what portion of an instructional fee falls into each category listed below, they may contact Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services at (940) 565-3225.
Course fees are charged to cover consumable supplies, syllabi, tests, salaries and wages of employees who assist in the preparation, distribution and supply of classroom materials and some equipment purchases related directly to student participation in the classroom or laboratory. Course fees can, in some instances, save students money by bulk purchasing of goods and services. These fees are set at the minimum cost of services that all students in the department or division receive.
Laboratory fees are only applicable to courses that require students to register for a laboratory section. Laboratory fees are collected to cover the cost of materials and supplies used by students in the laboratory. The laboratory fee may not be less than $2 nor more than $30 for any one term/semester or summer session.
Special service fees are collected to help offset the cost of materials and services a student is eligible to receive while enrolled in a course. These fees are directly related to classroom, laboratory or practicum activity and may cover the wages of employees who assist in the instructional process such as models, tutors, proctors or laboratory assistants.
The chart below shows the typical breakdown of course fees charged by UNT. Fees are subject to change. Visit essc.unt.edu/saucs/tuition.htm for current information.

The Texas Legislature has the authority to modify or eliminate installment payment of tuition at each regular or called legislative session.
UNT provides for the payment of tuition and fees during the fall and spring terms/semesters through the following alternatives:
1. full payment of tuition and fees upon registration or by the payment deadline for early registration; or
2. one-half payment of tuition and fees upon registration, or by the payment deadline for early registration, with separate one-fourth payments prior to the start of the 6th and 11th class weeks. Note: All course-related or optional fees are paid with the initial installment payment.
Tuition and fees must be paid in full for each summer session upon registration or by the payment deadline for early registration. Tuition payment by installment is not offered during the summer.
Handling fee: $12.50
NOTE: All instructional fees and optional fees are paid with the initial installment payment including the non-refundable handling fee of $12.50. Students who choose the installment plan option recognize they are in a contractual relationship and accept the terms of the installment plan contract.
A student who fails to make payment of tuition and fees (including any incidental fees) by the due date may be prohibited from registering for classes until full payment is made. A student who fails to make payment prior to the end of the term/semester may be denied credit for the work done that term/semester.
See Schedule of Classes for procedures and policies concerning installment payment of tuition.
Credit card payments (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) and check payment may be made through self-service at my.unt.edu. Tuition and fee payments may be made by personal check, money order, cashier’s check or cash. Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services requires the student identification number to be recorded on all check and money order payments made in person.
Bills are not mailed for registration. Account balances and schedule information may be obtained through self-service at my.unt.edu.
Cash payments are accepted only at Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services, located in the Eagle Student Services Center. Please do not mail cash payments.
Tuition covers undergraduate and graduate work. It and the various fees provide limited health services and admission to university-sponsored fine arts and athletic events. Instructional fees, materials fees and private instruction fees are additional. Students must purchase their own textbooks and supplies.
Fees charged for late registration, duplication of records, graduation and regalia, late filing for graduation, replacement diplomas and miscellaneous items are noted at essc.unt.edu/saucs.
Rules and regulations for determining residence status are specified under Title 3 of the Texas Education Code and are available at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, College for Texans web site at www.collegefortexans.com. In general, students must domicile and physically reside in Texas for the 12-month period immediately preceding their initial registration in an educational institution in Texas. Other factors may be considered for residency determination for tuition.
Students who are not legal residents of Texas must pay nonresident tuition, including the statutory tuition charges and standard university fees approved by the Board of Regents. Admission requirements for nonresidents are the same as for resident students.
Certain residency exceptions do not affect actual residency status but do allow for a nonresident tuition exemption. Refer to “Tuition and Fee Waivers” below for further information.
The student is responsible for knowing residence status and for registering under the proper status. Any questions concerning residence must be discussed with the proper authority in the Office of Admissions and/or Registrar’s Office prior to registration.
Any student erroneously classified as a resident will be reclassified and will be required to pay all out-of-state tuition due. Attempts to evade nonresident fees may subject the student to the statute penalty and to possible disciplinary action.
A student who is at any time classified as a nonresident retains nonresident status until reclassification as a resident is applied for and is officially approved by the Registrar.
Students who are classified as residents but become nonresidents by virtue of any change of domicile must notify the Registrar of such change immediately. Students who believe they have been erroneously classified have the opportunity for appeal. The appeal is to be made to the authority by whom the original classification was assigned, either in the Office of Admissions or in the Registrar’s Office.
Several exemptions and waivers are available to qualifying students. Brief descriptions of these are listed below. Waiver refunds must be requested during the term semester application is made. Such requests must be made prior to the 12th class day in long terms/semesters, the 4th class day in summer sessions (except 3W1) and the 2nd class day in 3W1 (three-week one). Requests for retroactive refunds cannot be honored. Information regarding waivers and exemptions is available at Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services or at essc.unt.edu/saucs/payment.htm. Posted waivers are subject to post audit and correction.

A student who drops a course or withdraws from the university within certain time periods may be entitled to a partial refund of tuition and fees. These refunds are calculated according to the category and time schedule listed below. Delinquent payment fees, late registration charges, publication fees and installment handling fees are non-refundable. Any financial obligation to UNT must be resolved before any refunds will be made.
Refunds are made for any course dropped through the 12th class day for the long term/semester, corresponding dates are set for summer terms/sessions. See the Academic Calendar for specific dates. The semester’s first class day is always the first official university day of classes and not the first day of an individual’s class.
Refunds for dropped classes are processed after midsemester. Note: If all classes for the term/semester are dropped, see “Schedule of Withdrawal Refunds.”
Students applying for financial aid are required to notify Student Financial Aid and Scholarships before dropping any class to learn how it will affect current or future financial aid eligibility.
Withdrawal refunds are determined by the number of enrolled semester credit hours at the time of withdrawal. Withdrawal percentages are applied to the total amount of tuition and fees as prescribed by state law, not the amount paid. The withdrawal schedule and percentages of refund shown below pertain to total withdrawal from the term/semester and are mandated by the state legislature. The term/semester’s first class day is always the first official university day of classes and not the first day the individual attends class. A withdrawal refund is based on the day of withdrawal, regardless of the date the class first meets.
Additional information may be found online at essc.unt.edu/saucs or by contacting Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services.
The withdrawal schedule and percentage of a pro-rata refund pertain to total withdrawal from the term/semester and are mandated by federal law. Please contact Student Financial Aid and Scholarships regarding pro-rata refund schedules and percentages.
A student who does not return to the university because of graduation or withdrawal from school will receive a refund of the property damage deposit. Students who transfer to another institution or stop attending UNT must request a refund of the property damage deposit. If not claimed within four years after the last enrollment date, the deposit is non-refundable and the proceeds are used to fund scholarships and student union activities.
Request for a refund of this deposit should be made to Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services.
Delinquent payment fees, late registration charges, publication fees and installment handling fee are non-refundable.

UNT is a state-assisted institution subject to state laws. Extension of credit is prohibited and all financial obligations to the university must be paid when due. Tuition, fees, and room and board are subject to change by action of the Texas Legislature or the UNT Board of Regents.
Students are responsible for any additional amounts due UNT resulting from auditing and correction of records after registration fees have been paid including all registration assessment errors, change from off-campus to on-campus classes, invalid employment waivers, etc.
Checks issued by a third party in payment of a student’s tuition, fees or other charges made by UNT should be made payable to the student rather than solely to the university or jointly to the student and UNT. Arrangements may be made with Student Financial Aid and Scholarships in cases where cash amounts should not be made available to the student.
A returned check is defined as any check, similar sight order, or electronic bank draft returned to the university unpaid due to no fault of the bank or the university.
Upon receipt of a returned check, notification is mailed to the issuing party or the individual in whose behalf the check was issued. The address on the check and/or the address in the official university records is used. The check is payable on or before 10 working days from the date of the notice. Only cash, cashier’s check or money order is accepted for payment of the returned check and service charge ($25 per check).
A student may be withdrawn immediately from the university if payment is not made within the stated time period. DO NOT, however, stop attending classes unless you receive official notification of your withdrawal. Notification of withdrawal is made to the address on the check and/or the address in the official university records.
After the check and service charge are paid in full, a student may request reinstatement. This process must be initiated in person within five days from the date of withdrawal, and a $40 reinstatement fee is charged. A student may not be reinstated more than once per academic year.
An appeal is possible if the student believes the university has prejudicially applied this return check policy. Notice of such intention must be given in writing to the Dean of Students Office within five days of the withdrawal date.
Check issuing privileges are suspended while any returned check and/or service charge are outstanding.
If the university receives three or more returned checks during an academic year, the check-issuing privileges of the individual are revoked.
If all attempts to collect a returned check have failed, a student may be dismissed from UNT and civil or criminal legal action may be taken in accordance with Texas state law (Sections 31.06 and 32.41 of the Texas Penal Code).
A student who has not already done so will be withdrawn from UNT on the date the returned stop-payment check is received by UNT. A returned check service charge ($25 per check) will be assessed. Tuition refund charges are computed by normal refund policy.
If a student wishes to be withdrawn, the Registrar’s Office should always be contacted as soon as possible.
UNT provides several methods of assisting students in financing their education. Applications and complete descriptions of all programs, requirements and qualifications are available at Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, Eagle Student Services Center, or visit my.unt.edu or call (940) 565-2302.
Fellowships and assistantships are awarded annually by almost all departments of the university to qualified graduate students. The number awarded annually depends upon departmental needs for the services of such appointees. Compensation varies with the type of services rendered by the appointee, the amount of time required for performance of the duties, and individual academic qualifications and experience. Appointments and awards ordinarily are made by the departments early in the spring, to take effect at the beginning of the next academic year.
Qualified graduate students and prospective students should communicate directly with the chair of the major department to obtain information and applications. No fellowship or assistantship appointment is regarded as final until the applicant has obtained admission to the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies.
The Toulouse School of Graduate Studies annually awards a number of generous fellowships to new doctoral and master’s students. Eligibility for these fellowships is limited to students nominated by academic departments and programs from among new students beginning their doctoral or master’s degree course work in the fall term/semester. In 2005–2006, the school was able to award 17 doctoral fellowships and 21 master’s fellowships. Departmental nominations are normally due in the graduate school at the end of February each year.
The Doctoral Fellowships provide three years of support (with departmental assistance) for full-time study in pursuit of a doctoral degree. The fellowships provide $20,000 for the first year of a doctoral student’s graduate study. Departments receiving fellowships for their students guarantee that students will be supported for at least two succeeding full academic years, provided they maintain satisfactory progress toward the doctoral degree sought. Departmental support is equivalent to that provided other similarly situated students for teaching or research assistantships/fellowships or other appropriate professional work, except that departments also guarantee support through the summer sessions.
The Master’s Fellowships provide one year of support for full-time study in pursuit of a master’s degree. The fellowships are in the amount of $10,000 for the first year of a master’s student’s full-time graduate study. Departments are encouraged to supplement the Master’s Fellowships in whatever ways their resources allow.
Most graduate scholarships at UNT are awarded and administered by either the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies or the individual departments, schools and colleges. However, Student Financial Aid and Scholarships also offers a limited number of awards to graduate students.
UNT also participates in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Almost all scholarships are awarded on the basis of a student’s academic qualifications.
Out-of-state and international students who are recipients of university competitive academic scholarships in the amount of $1,000 or more may also receive a waiver of out-of-state tuition.
Applications and a brochure listing graduate scholarships are available on the second floor of the Eagle Student Services Center in Student Financial Aid and Scholarships. The application deadline for universitywide scholarships awarded by the University Scholarship Committee is March 31, unless otherwise noted. Applications for departmental scholarships, as well as deadline information, are available from the individual departments and schools of the university.
For additional requirements for fellowships, assistantships and scholarships, see the graduate studies web site: www.gradschool.unt.edu.

The application period begins January 1 of each year for the following academic year (fall/spring/summer). The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal Application is available each January for the upcoming academic year and should be completed as early as possible. Students may apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students whose application files are completed by the priority dates are ensured first consideration for awards. Application data is received electronically from the Central Processing System (Federal Student Aid Programs) through which applications are processed. It includes the data from the FAFSA or Renewal Application. The application data must reach our office before a file can be processed.
A separate UNT summer application must be completed for summer financial aid. This application is available online (my.unt.edu), or at Student Financial Aid and Scholarships in February for the following summer sessions. The FAFSA for the year preceding the summer is also required.
Before any assistance is granted (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Student Loan or Federal Stafford Loan), general eligibility and program requirements must be met. To be eligible for financial aid you must:
1. establish eligibility by completing and filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal Application;
2. not be in default on any Title IV loan (Perkins or Stafford), or owe a refund or repayment on educational funds received at any institution;
3. be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen;
4. be registered for the draft with the Selective Service if you are a male at least 18 years old born after December 31, 1959 (most males between the ages of 18 and 25, including permanent residents and other eligible noncitizens, are required to register with Selective Service);
5. enroll in and maintain at least a half-time class load;
6. use all funds received through financial aid for educational purposes;
7. be accepted for admission by the university and enrolled in a degree program;
8. be making satisfactory academic progress;

1. Students who withdraw from all classes must go to Student Financial Aid and Scholarships for official clearance before leaving the university.
2. Refunds and Payments. If you officially withdraw, cease attendance, or are administratively withdrawn from UNT, any refund of tuition and fees and other university charges will be assessed for return to programs from which you (or your parents if they received a Federal Parent Loan) were originally paid. An additional “repayment” calculation will be performed to determine if you must repay a portion of the assistance paid directly to you for living expenses.
Student Financial Aid and Scholarships personnel will apply the federally mandated formula for the return of financial aid funds. Funds will be returned to the programs from which the money was paid to you in the following order:
In addition, it is possible you will owe a repayment of unearned financial aid funds if you cease enrollment prior to the 60 percent completion point of any enrollment period for which you received financial aid funds. The completion point is based on the total number of class days in an enrollment period.
3. Official transcripts are not issued to any student who has an unpaid account or owes a defaulted federal student loan received from any university.
4. Federal and state regulations require that each student maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible for financial aid programs. Minimum standards must be achieved by the end of any given enrollment period at UNT. Satisfactory academic progress is defined in both quantitative and qualitative measures. The quantitative measure requires an undergraduate to complete a minimum number of required course hours each term/semester of enrollment as defined below.
| Registered | Completed |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3–5 | 3 |
| 6–11 | 6 |
| 12–15 | 9 |
| 16–19 | 12 |
The qualitative measure requires a graduate student to maintain a 3.0 grade point average in all enrolled hours including undergraduate courses. Enrollment hours for loan deferment and financial aid eligibility may differ from those published in this catalog. Also see “Enrollment Certification” in the Enrollment section of this catalog. Financial aid recipients must notify Student Financial Aid and Scholarships before dropping courses or withdrawing. Current term/semester, current year or future aid eligibility may be affected.
Students in an academic program under the graduate career (major or concentration) are required to enroll in at least 4 graduate hours per term/semester to be considered for financial aid.
5. Refer to the Financial Aid brochure for enrollment hour requirements. Full-time, three-quarter-time and half-time enrollment may be defined differently by the Registrar’s Office.
You may review additional and specific financial aid and scholarship information at my.unt.edu.
