Admitted students will have the option to select and attend one course offered by UNH’s college divisions. After registering for the course you plan to shadow, you will receive a confirmation email with your check-in time, and agenda items of the visit. You are welcome to choose a course from any college division you would like to explore. Due to high demand, students may register for only one course to shadow.
**Please note that registration is limited and must be made no later than a week in advance of the program.
During the Shadow days, students are given the chance to:
- Attend a UNH class
- Enjoy a meal in Holloway Commons
- Experience campus life as a future Wildcat
- Meet with an Admissions Counselor (optional)
You will have the option to select from a variety of listed courses to shadow.
Class Cancellations and Schedule Changes
The Shadow a Wildcat team will contact the admitted student if a scheduled class is cancelled, shortened, or otherwise affected for any reason, including inclement weather. If a class does not take place as planned, we will offer an alternate campus visit experience, which may or may not occur on the originally scheduled date. Every effort will be made to provide advance notice of any changes whenever possible.
Inclement Weather and University Curtailment
Please note that tours and programs will not be offered if the University curtails or cancels operations. Families are encouraged to call the UNH Storm Line at (603) 862-0000 to confirm University operations when weather conditions are uncertain. For your safety, and the safety of our staff and students, we recommend considering an alternate visit date if travel conditions are unsafe. The University also reserves the right to delay or cancel tours or programs with limited notice if conditions are deemed unsafe for visitors, staff, or students.
As an admitted student, you are invited to see virtually what being a Wildcat is all about! You will be connected with a current Wildcat to learn more about UNH and ask questions about academic and social life on campus. You are welcome to sign up for one of the dates listed below. We will do our best to connect you with a student based on your admitted major and shared area of interest, and if we can’t, we will match you with another student who has similar interests as you.
