Priority Dates and Deadlines

Important Dates to Know Before You Begin

Apply early for financial aid. Awards are given to students who have the greatest financial need and have submitted all required documentation to our office. Below are the priority dates for submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA).

Please see FAFSA Simplification | University of North Texas for information regarding the 2024-2025 FAFSA.

To receive consideration for all available financial assistance and to determine your eligibility in a timely manner, submit all required forms to our office by the priority deadlines listed above.  Applications completed after the priority deadlines will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis and dependent on available funding.  If you do not apply by the priority deadline, we recommend submitting your financial aid application as soon as possible for aid consideration and to help ensure your financial aid is in place for your planned terms of enrollment.
