Frequently Asked Questions: Short Term Loans

Short Term Loans

What is a short term loan?
UTD offers short term loans to students in need of assistance to pay for tuition and fees. Students may borrow the full cost of tuition and fees for the term at a simple 5% or 10% annual interest rate. The interest rate will depend upon the number of enrolled hours. For more information, please visit our Short Term Loan page.
How do I get a short term loan?
To apply for a Tuition and Fees Short Term Loan, please visit the Financial Aid Office. Once the loan paperwork has been filled out and approved by the Financial Aid Office, the loan and the application must be brought to the Bursar's Office. The student must present either a state-issued driver's license or a passport to the Bursar's Office with the loan paperwork. The loan will then be applied to the student's account to pay for tuition & fees for the semester.
Can my insurance be included in my short term loan?
Health Insurance premiums are non-deferrable as UT Dallas utilizes an outside provider. Please see the Student Health Insurance page for more details.
