A student may withdraw from UNT Dallas at any time prior to two weeks before the first day of final examinations for fall or spring terms/semesters or the equivalent dates for summer sessions by making a request in the Registrar’s Office.
For withdrawals processed prior to the end of the sixth week of classes for fall or spring terms/semesters or the equivalent dates for summer sessions, the grade of W is recorded for each course in which a withdrawn student was enrolled. After the sixth week of classes for fall or spring terms/semesters or the equivalent dates for summer sessions, a withdrawn student receives grades of “W” only for those courses in which there were passing grades at the time of withdrawal.
Students called to active military service during a semester in which they are enrolled may be entitled to a refund of tuition and fees if they withdraw or the student may be entitled to receive a final grade or incomplete grade in courses. Students should contact the Registrar’s Office to determine their options. Official dates and deadlines for withdrawing are specified in the UNT Dallas Annual Academic Calendar.
Notice: Students receiving financial aid also must contact the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships before dropping a class or withdrawing. Students receiving financial aid may be required to go through an exit interview with a financial aid counselor before they are permitted to withdraw.
Unofficial withdrawals encompass all other withdrawals where official notification is not provided to UNT Dallas. When a recipient of Title IV grant or loan assistance unofficially withdraws from an institution, after having begun class attendance during a payment period or period of enrollment, the institution must determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned up to the date of withdrawal. For these unofficial withdrawals, commonly known as dropouts, the withdrawal date is the midpoint of the payment period or the equivalent date for summer sessions of enrollment, as applicable, or the last date of an academically related activity in which the student participated.
If a student who began attendance, does not officially withdraw, and subsequently fails to earn a passing grade in at least one course offered over an entire period, the institution must assume, for Title IV purposes, that the student has unofficially withdrawn, unless the institution can document that the student completed the enrollment period.
If a student receives Title IV grant or loan assistance and does not begin attendance
in a payment period or period of enrollment, the student is considered to be ineligible
for any Title IV aid.
Unofficially withdrawing from classes may affect your future eligibility for financial
aid such as satisfactory academic progress.
A student is considered a withdrawal from programs offered in a session of enrollment during the summer term when the student ceases attendance at any point prior to completing the payment period unless the school obtains written confirmation from the student at the time of the withdrawal the student will attend a session that begins later in the same payment period. This confirmation must be obtained at the time of the withdrawal even if the student has registered for subsequent courses.
If a student has accepted Title IV aid by the date of the withdrawal, but the aid has not disbursed, the student may be eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. Under the circumstances, a R2T4 calculation must be performed to determine whether the student is actually eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. UNT Dallas must make this determination within 30 calendar days after the student withdraws.
The following conditions apply when processing a post-withdrawal disbursement:
