Admissions
An acceptance rate of 84% puts University of North Texas at Dallas on the accessible end — a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. 5,029 students applied in the most recent cycle — a mid-sized pool drawn mostly from the surrounding region. A 11% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. 6% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.

Completion is middling: 42% finish inside six years. Retention of 65% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 17% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The part-time picture is harder: 53% return, against 65% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,914 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $7,586 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $4,713 at the $0–30k band to $16,040 at $110k+. 74% of students receive grant aid, averaging $9,024 — common but not automatic. 32% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

| $0–30k | $4,713 |
| $30–48k | $5,743 |
| $48–75k | $7,725 |
