Official Withdrawal from UNT Dallas

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terms/semesters or the equivalent dates for summer sessions, the grade of W is recorded for each course in which a withdrawn student was enrolled. After the sixth week of classes for fall or spring terms/semesters or the equivalent dates for summer sessions, a withdrawn student receives grades of “W” only for those courses in which there were passing grades at the time of withdrawal.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 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 Withdrawal from UNT Dallas

 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offered over an entire period, the institution must assume, for Title IV purposes, that the student has unofficially withdrawn, unless the institution can document that the student completed the enrollment period.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.

Time Frame for the Return of Title IV Program Funds

The following rules apply when completing a Return cal­culation for a student subject to verification.

1.  UNT Dallas will return any unearned Title IV funds it is responsible for returning within 45 calendar days of the date UNT determined the student withdrew, and offer any Post-withdrawal disbursement of loan funds within 30 calendar days of that date.
2. UNT Dallas will disburse any Title IV grant funds a student is due as part of a Post-withdrawal disbursement within 45 days of the date UNT Dallas determined the student withdrew, and disburse any loan funds a student accepts within 180 calendar days of that date.
3. Unless a student subject to verification has provided all required verification documents in time for UNT Dallas to meet the Return deadlines, UNT Dallas includes as Aid Disbursed or Aid That Could Have Been Disbursed in the Return calcula­tion.
4. If it is determined that a student who failed to provide all required verification documents in time for UNT Dallas to meet the Return deadline and later provides those documents prior to the applicable verifica­tion deadline, UNT Dallas must perform a new Return calcula­tion on all of the aid the student qualified for based on the completed verification documents and make the appropriate adjustments.
5. To give a Pell grant to a student, UNT Dallas must have a valid output document (one with an official EFC computed from correct data) while the student is still enrolled for the award year or in the time frame the student qualifies for a late disbursement under 34 CFR 668.164(g)(4)(i).
6. For students selected for verification (both ED-selected and/or school-selected), UNTD must have verification documents, and for Pell recipients a valid output document, no later than 120 calendar days after the last day of enrollment, UNTD may set earlier deadlines for the campus-based and loan programs.
