Starting Fall 2023, new 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. More information about the Live-On Requirement and exemptions can be found on the website here.

By submitting your enrollment deposit, you confirm that you have read and agree to abide by the Live-On Requirement established for new undergraduate students starting Fall 2023.
