Tuition Adjustments

UNT tuition and fee adjustments are administered according to campus policy and Texas Education Code (TEC) 54.006, Refund or Adjustment of Tuition and Mandatory Fees for Dropped courses and Student Withdrawals.  Tuition adjustments on a student account may be the result of either a drop or withdrawal from courses.  

• A drop occurs when a student removes a course from their schedule but remains enrolled in other courses during the same academic session. 
• A withdrawal occurs when a student removes all courses in an academic session, even if they remain enrolled in another concurrent or future session. 

How do I know what session I am enrolled in?

Go to myUNT and click "Enrollment" and then "View My Classes."  Here you can see the "Start/End Dates" for each course as highlighted in the example pictures above.  Here is the guide to the sessions:

Tuition Adjustments for Drops

A student that drops courses or withdraw from the semester may be required to return all or a portion of their accepted financial aid.  Return of finaincal aid can result in owing funds to UNT, the government, or both. Students that financial aid recipients should contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office  to discuss the financial aid impact of dropping from courses or withdrawing from the academic session.

If you are considering withdrawal from UNT, please contact your Academic Advisor and a Financial Aid counselor so your decision will be based on a clear understanding of the consequences of withdrawing from all courses.

Drop and Withdrawal Screenshot Examples

A drop is when a student drops a course but remains enrolled in other courses in that same session.  See the example below:

This student wants to drop SGNL 1010.  Since they will still be enrolled in another Regular session course, this is considered a drop.

Same in this example. This student wants to drop CJUS 2100 but still remain enrolled in the same session, so this would be considered a drop.

See the withdrawal example below: 

This student wants to drop HIST 2610.  Since that course is the only one in the session, this is considered a withdrawal.

In this example, the student is dropping all courses in the same session, therefore it is considered a withdrawal.
