Transfer Students

Thank you for considering the University of New Hampshire. You are a transfer student if you have matriculated (enrolled in a degree program) at another college or accumulated more than 16 semester hours of college credit at any institution.

In reviewing your application, we will consider your entire academic history, as well as your personal experiences. The following criteria are considered most closely:

  • Trend in achievement, with your most recent academic record given the most weight. Although there is no specific GPA requirement, most admitted students have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.8 or above.
  • High school and college course selection as it relates to your intended major.
  • You must be in good standing at, and eligible to return to, the last institution of higher education you attended. If you have been suspended at another institution you are not able to apply to UNH during the period of your suspension. If you have been expelled from an institution, you must wait two years before being considered for admission to UNH; this applies to UNHM, our Manchester NH campus, as well.

    • While the University does not guarantee on-campus housing for transfer students, you may contact the Housing Office at (603) 862-2120 for information on the availability of on-campus housing and to place your name on the housing wait-list. We also have available lists for off-campus housing, including a roommate listing.

    Transfer students may apply for need-based financial aid; however, no merit-based scholarships are available.

    If you are currently in a University of New Hampshire associates degree program please follow the transfer student application requirements for:

    Thompson School two to four year transfer applicants
