Withdrawal Considerations
If a student withdraws from a course/courses, their tuition may be adjusted. Please review Student Accounting's page for important dates: https://sfs.unt.edu/tuition-adjustments.
Withdrawing from a session may impact a student's federal financial aid eligibility, which means that a student may owe back a portion of the financial aid that they received upon withdrawal. Information about withdrawing with financial aid is located here: https://financialaid.unt.edu/withdrawing
