Tuition and Fee Refunds
A student who drops a course or withdraws from the university within a certain time period 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 refund will be made.

Withdrawal Refunds
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 the percentage of refunds 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 of an individual's class. A withdrawal refund is based on the day of withdrawal, regardless of the date the class first meets

Class Drop Refunds
Refunds are made for any course dropped through the 12th class day for the long semester, through the 2nd class day in a 3-week session and through the 4th class day in a summer session. 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 this Tuition and Fee Register for the new number of hours. The difference between the two is the amount credited to the student account.  NOTE: If all classes for the semester are dropped, see the Withdrawal Refund schedule above.
