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 or the Registrar's Office at (940) 565-2111.
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 semester or summer term.
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.

All applicants new to the University of North Texas must pay a $40 (U.S. residents and permanent resident aliens) or $75 (all others, i.e., international students) non-refundable admission application fee.
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 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 sixth 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 term 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 semester may be denied credit for the work done that semester.
See Schedule of Classes for procedures and policies concerning installment payment of tuition.
Credit card payments (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover) may be made by calling the ASSIST Voice Response System at (940) 565-3701 or through the web site (essc.unt.edu/saucs). Tuition and fee payments also may be made by personal check, money order, cashier's check, or cash.
Bills are not mailed for registration. Account balances and schedule information may be obtained by calling ASSIST at (940) 565-3701 or going to WebBills for students (essc.unt.edu/saucs).
Cash payments are accepted only at Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services 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 and in the 2003-2004 Tuition, Fees and Other Charges brochure available at Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services.
Undergraduate students who attempt 45 or more semester credit hours beyond the minimum number of hours required for completion of their degree program may be charged additional tuition amounts. Students initially enrolled prior to the 1999 fall semester are exempt.
Rules and regulations for determining residence status are specified under Title 3 of the Texas Education Code and are available in the Office of Admissions and the Office of the Registrar. In general, students must 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" in this section 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 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 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 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 semester application is made. Such requests must be made prior to the 12th class day in long semesters, the 4th class day in the summer terms, 2nd class day in the mini-mesters. Requests for retroactive refunds cannot be honored. Additional information and applications are available at Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services. 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, fees for student ID 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 semester (4th class day in the summer terms; 2nd class day in the mini-mesters). 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.
To calculate the refund for a class dropped, take the fee paid for the original hours and subtract the fee shown in the 2003-2004 Tuition, Fees and Other Charges brochure for the new number of hours. The difference between the two is the amount credited to the student account. Refunds for dropped classes are processed after the sixth class week in the long semesters and after the second class week in the summer semesters. Note: If all classes for the semester are dropped, see "Schedule of Withdrawal Refunds" in this section.
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 semester and are mandated by the state legislature. The 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 at essc.unt.edu/saucs and in the 2003-2004 Tuition, Fees and Other Charges brochure 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 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 a transfer, graduation or withdrawal from school must request refund of the property damage deposit; the refund is not automatic. If not claimed within four years after the last enrollment date, the deposit is nonrefundable and the proceeds are used to fund scholarships. Request for refund of this deposit should be made to Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services.

Section 54.0065 of the Texas Education Code provides up to a $1,000 tuition rebate to students meeting the following conditions. The student:
1. must have enrolled for the first time in an institution of higher education in the fall 1997 semester or later;
2. must be requesting a rebate for work related to a first baccalaureate degree received from a Texas public university;

4. must have attempted no more than 3 hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree under the catalog under which the student will graduate.
Hours attempted include transfer credits, courses that are dropped after the official census date, for-credit developmental courses, optional internship and cooperative education courses and repeated courses. Courses dropped for reasons that are determined by the institution to be totally beyond the control of the student shall not be counted.
Any student with more than 3 hours of F, W, WF, NP or I is ineligible to receive the $1,000 tuition rebate.
For additional information concerning tuition rebates, contact the Registrar's Office or your academic adviser.
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 Board of Regents of UNT.
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 or similar sight order 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, 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, www.unt.edu/finaid, or call (940) 565-2302.
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. The best way to apply is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students whose application files are completed by the following priority dates are ensured first consideration for awards. Application data is received electronically from the 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.
Priority Dates:
Fall/spring semester: June 1
Spring semester only: October 1
Summer sessions: April 1
A UNT summer application is required for summer financial aid. This application is available online (www.unt.edu/finaid), or at Student Financial Aid and Scholarships beginning 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 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 (Federal Perkins or Federal 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 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 for most programs;
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 reasonable academic progress;
9. have a valid Social Security Number; and
10. have a high school diploma or a GED (general equivalency diploma).
Note: Transient students and summer visiting students are not eligible for financial aid.
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 Repayments. 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 must maintain reasonable academic progress to be eligible for financial aid programs. Minimum standards must be achieved by the end of any given enrollment period at UNT. Reasonable academic progress is defined in both quantitative and qualitative measures. The quantitative measure requires an undergraduate to:
a. complete all course degree requirements within a maximum of 186 semester credit hours of enrollment; andb. complete a minimum number of hours by the end of each academic year based on each student's registered hours.
Using the following chart to determine the number of hours that must be completed, the student should locate the total number of registered hours. The student must then complete, pass and earn credit in the number of hours listed below.
Number of current registered hours | Minimum number of current earned hours and pass/fail hours
1 | 1
2 | 2
3-5 | 3
6-11 | 6
12-15 | 9
16-19 | 12
20-23 | 15
24+ | 18
Full-time (12 or more hours) | 8 or more hours
3/4-time (9-11 hours) | 6-7 hours
1/2-time (6-8 hours) | 4-5 hours
All academic requirements are effective whether or not financial aid has ever been applied for or received. For students not meeting reasonable academic progress at the end of an enrollment period, the reasonable academic progress will be reevaluated at the end of the next semester attended at UNT to determine if the student will be eligible for financial aid.
The qualitative measure requires an undergraduate to maintain the minimum cumulative UNT grade point average. The minimum cumulative grade point average is 2.0 for undergraduate students.
Financial aid recipients must notify Student Financial Aid and Scholarships before dropping courses or withdrawing. Current award year or future aid eligibility may be affected. 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.
My Financial Aid is the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships self-service web application that allows interactive access to financial aid information. Most of the financial process can now be completed online, which increases efficiency, understanding, and student control.
