Welcome to Financial Aid

Reminder: the last day for summer enrolled students to submit a 2021-2022 FAFSA to us is June 20, 2022. Read the Complete Your FAFSA section on this page to link to the application.

Is your financial aid not disbursing?

Below are reasons why your aid might not be posting to your student account.

• Your current enrollment status does not match the enrollment status we used to award your financial aid.
  • Your original financial aid offer letter or email included the enrollment status we used to award your financial aid. If your enrollment status for the term does not match this enrollment status, please submit an Hours Adjustment Form.
• You are not meeting the financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements.
  • Your SAP status was determined at the end of your last term enrolled at UT Dallas. Students placed on financial aid suspension are notified via their UTD email.
• You have an outstanding financial aid To Do List item in Orion.
  • Required financial aid documents will appear in your To Do List in Orion.  The Office of Financial Aid also sends To Do List reminders to your UTD email.

How to Submit Documents

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.

Changes to Your Family’s Financial Situation

The UT Dallas Office of Financial Aid recognizes the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the burden it has placed on many college students and their families. If you or your parents have experienced a significant financial change, you may be eligible for a reconsideration of the financial aid offered to you.
