Financial Aid/Course Load Certification

Federal or state subsidized financial aid is not available if you are taking only University Extension courses. Students with no financial aid privileges at a college or university may qualify for various loan programs tailored to meet the needs of nontraditional students. The specific terms and time needed to process applications varies with the loan program. You may obtain more information from University Extension staff.

If you are receiving financial aid at another institution of higher education (other than UT Austin), University Extension will issue you a letter at your request certifying your registration in an extension course. You may include this with other documentation of courses in applying for financial aid, but University Extension cannot guarantee that this combination of documents will be accepted by relevant agencies. Extension courses do count for a UT Austin student’s course load certification if taken with dean’s approval. (UT Austin students please see our UT Austin Students policy.)

Students who are unable to pay the entire tuition at the time of registration may be eligible for a payment plan. Please contact our office for details.
