ASLP Student Resources:
Learning to operate in a new and unfamiliar environment is challenging, especially if you don't know who to ask or where to go for help. Here are some resources that will help you make a smooth transition to life as an ASLP student.
Please contact UNT Student Financial Services (940-565-3225 or sfs@unt.edu) for complete information on tuition and fees details.
Caring is an integral part of the UNT mission statement because it's one of the most important things we do as an institution. We show #UNTcares through the personal investment made by faculty and staff in the success of each student as well as the broader UNT and Denton communities.
ASLP offers several graduate assistantships each term. These include Teaching Assistants, Research Assistants, and Graduate Services Assistants. Follow the links below to submit your application.
NOTE: Appointment to a graduate assistant position DOES NOT automatically qualify for in-state tuition. There are several qualifications that must be met for a non-Texas resident to receive in-state tuition. Please contact UNT Student Financial Services (940-565-3225 or sfs@unt.edu) for more information on tuition waivers.
