Summer Financial Aid

If you plan to attend UT Dallas classes in the summer of 2019 and you want us to offer you financial aid you should submit the online summer financial aid application found on our forms page.  We use the results of the 2018-2019 FAFSA or TASFA to determine eligibility for summer financial aid.   While the priority date to apply for summer financial aid aid was March 31 we are still accepting and processing requests.

2019-2020 Financial Aid

We will being notifying continuing UT Dallas students of their eligibility for 2019-2020 financial aid beginning at the end of June.  The 2019-2020 FAFSA (used for Fall 2019, Spring 2020, and Summer 2020) is available online at fafsa.gov.   The priority dates for applying for UT Dallas financial aid programs are found on our deadlines page.

Enrollment Status

For financial aid purposes, your enrollment status (e.g. half-time, three quarters-time, full-time, etc.) is determined based upon the number of financial aid-eligible semester credit hours in which you enroll, as well as your academic level.

Census Date

The financial aid census date for the summer term was June 10.  This is the census date for the entire semester, including second session classes. The Office of the Registrar has different census dates than does the Office of Financial Aid. To be considered for financial aid eligibility you must have been registered for classes on our census date. To view other important academic dates, see the academic calendar.

Manage Your Money

Financial aid funds are disbursed in lump sums. This makes budgeting a critical part of most students’ lives. The federal government provides a great tool for creating a budget. Also, check out the Student Success Center’s Comet Cents program.

Important!

If you register for classes at another school at the same time you are attending UT Dallas:

• If you are eligible for the Federal Pell Grant program, you can receive this grant at only one school at a time.
• You must notify us if you are receiving federal or state grants or loans from another school while attending UT Dallas.
• UT Dallas will process financial aid for your registered UT Dallas classes. We do not process financial aid for classes taken at other schools.
• For academic requirements regarding the transferability of off-campus coursework, see your academic advisor.
