Short Term Loans For Tuition and Fees
Introduction
The University of Texas at Dallas offers short term loans to students in need of assistance to pay for tuition and fees. Students may only borrow up to the full cost of tuition and fees for the term for a charge of 1% of their total tuition and fee balance. As of Fall 2009, there is no interest charged on short term loans loans. The tuition and fees short term loan program will not cover library fines, parking and traffic tickets, health insurance fees (International Students), meal plans and late fees. The short term loan will not be available as a payment plan after Census Day.
For the Fall & Spring semesters, loans are due 60 days from Census Day. For the Summer semester, loans are due 30 days from Census Day. Please check the academic calendar for the exact date of Census Day each semester.
To apply for a short term loan, please visit the Campus Finances section of your Orion Self Service Center.
If payment for a short term loan is received after the stated due date, a late fee of $30 per month, up to a $90 maximum, will be assessed. Any credits posted to a student's account (e.g. financial aid, health insurance waiver, credit after dropping a class, etc.) would first be applied towards paying off the Short Term Loan and any remaining credit balance would be refunded to the student.
Students with outstanding Short Term Loans will have holds placed on their account. Students with past due Short Term Loans will not be eligible for another Short Term Loan until all loans are repaid. Past due loans will be referred to a collection agency and will be subject to collection agency fees.
