Transfer Students

Thank you for considering the University of New Hampshire. You are a transfer student if you have matriculated 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 is 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. 

    •  

    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.

    *Nursing: We are not accepting transfer applications to UNH’s nursing program due to space limitations. The only exception is for those students who already hold an unencumbered RN license in the United States and wish to apply to the Registered Nurse-Baccalaureate Program (RNBP). Potential transfer students should also know that changing majors into the nursing program from another UNH major is exceptionally competitive.

    This information applies to new applicants to UNH only, it does not apply to currently enrolled UNH baccalaureate students wishing to change majors to nursing. If you are currently matriculated in a bachelor’s program at UNH and are interested in nursing, please consult the nursing department in Hewitt Hall, 603-862-2299, janed@unh.edu, and their website www.unh.edu/nursing.
