Important Next Steps


Make it official! Login to your application portal to submit your enrollment deposit.

To learn about orientation and important next steps after you submit your enrollment, please visit UNH's New Student Programs website.

Full-time undergraduate first-year and transfer students will be required to live on campus in university housing per UNH's 2-year Live-On Requirement to foster a sense of belonging to the university community where students will be supported academically, personally and socially. 

Students who wish to request an exemption from UNH's Live-On Requirement, will need to submit an exemption request to UNH's Housing and Residential Life Office. By confirming your enrollment, you have read and agree to abide by the Live-On Requirement established for new undergraduate students.

To learn more about how to apply for housing, visit UNH's Housing & Residential Life website.

Requests for deferrals may be submitted to UNH using this form. Should you have any questions, please contact Admissions at admissions@unh.edu or (603) 862-1360.

  • With few exceptions, UNH will not approve deferral requests for students to complete college coursework elsewhere or for a post-graduate year.
  • If you know you will be deferring your admission, you do not need to send in an enrollment deposit now; however, if there is a chance your plans may change, an enrollment deposit must be received by May 1 to guarantee fall semester entry.
  • If a deferral is approved, a form to reinstate admission for the future semester will be sent with the approval letter. Please follow the instructions provided on that form.
  • Students who defer for a year must remember to complete the FAFSA by March 1 of the year they will be enrolling to be considered for need-based financial aid.
  • Students who defer for only one semester will have their financial aid package modified accordingly.

 

After the enrollment deposit deadline, deposits are non-refundable. Please contact Admissions at admissions@unh.edu for questions.
