Refund Information

DISBURSEMENT FROM FINANCIAL AID PROCEEDS

The Student Financial Services office processes refunds from student accounts. Financial Aid disbursements will be sent out within a week after your aid has been disbursed. You can check myLaw.untdallas.edu to see if you are receiving a refund and if it has been processed.

Refund Options

The University of North Texas at Dallas has partnered with BankMobile (previously Higher One®) to process student refunds for all UNT Dallas students. This partnership allows for more efficient processing of refunds.  Refunds sent to BankMobile will be processed according to the refunding method the student has elected.

In order to minimize delays, students should log into the UNT Dallas refunding preference website by CLICKING HERE and make a refund method selection. Failure to select an option will delay your refund.

• Direct Deposit (ACH) – If you choose this option, you will need to enter your existing bank routing and account numbers, your refund will be deposited into this account.  Typically this takes 2-3 days for the money to become available in your account from the date your refund is processed. 

• Paper Check - If you choose this option, a paper check will be mailed to you.  Please note that it may take up to 10 days from the date of disbursement for you to receive your refund from the date your refund is processed.  Make sure that your current mailing address is up-to-date in the student center to prevent additional delays of your initial refund.

• Vibe Debit Card - If you choose this option, a debit MasterCard will be mailed to you.  You will immediately have access to a virtual debit card that you can use for on-line transactions until you receive your debit card in the mail (Please note: the virtual card may not be accepted for in-person transactions).  Typically your money will be available in this account the same day refunding is processed by the university.

  Students should choose the refund option that best fits their needs.  FDIC's "Money Smart" is a good resource to consult when deciding which option to choose. Please note that if you do not select a refunding option, any refunds due to you may be delayed.

  For New Students

  Students that are new to the university will receive a GREEN ENVELOPE sent to the mailing address listed on your student account after you have registered for at least 6 hours or have a credit balance on your account to be refunded. The envelope will contain a personal code to login to the UNT refunding preference website which can be accessed by CLICKING HERE. Follow the directions to choose 1 of the 3 options listed above to receive your refund. All options are free to students for refund processing (other fees may apply).

TUITION AND FEE REFUNDS

A student who drops a course or withdraws from the College of Law 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 and installment handling fees are non-refundable. Any financial obligation to UNT Dallas College of Law must be resolved before any refund is processed.

WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL

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 term's first class day is always the first official university day of classes for that specific term or session 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.

College of Law students should always check the Official Academic, Payment and Refund Calendar puiblished by the Law School Registrar for specific refund dates each term.
