What will orientation be like?
As an admitted first-year student, you'll choose among five two-day orientation sessions in June. Spending a night on campus is not a requirement for orientation, however most admitted students do opt for a night in the residence halls, allowing for more social opportunities with other students and a sneak peek into what it's like to live on campus.
Watch your email and portal for orientation registration info coming in early March. In the meantime, visit the orientation web page for additional details and event information.

How do I change my major?
If you have been admitted to one major, and want to switch to another, email the admissions office at admissions@unh.edu with your name, student ID number and the major you'd like to switch to. We'll review your request and let you know the outcome. Please note that some majors have competitive enrollment restrictions for first-year students. Learn more about changing majors and competitive majors.
When will I get my financial aid package?
With the recent announcement of FAFSA delays by the Department of Education, we now anticipate financial aid packages to be sent in April. We understand this delay could cause a disruption in your college planning process, so our counselors and financial aid team are here to help with any questions you might have. Additionally, we encourage you to visit our “navigating financial aid” site so you can have the tools and knowledge needed when your award is announced.

When can I register for spring tours?
Spring tours are now available for registration. We are currently offering general campus tours as well as academic tours for certain areas of study. Additionally, we offer many other specialized events specifically for admitted students. We strongly encourage attendance to one of these events to see what life is like as a Wildcat. At these events you can connect with future professors, meet new classmates, explore our beautiful campus and do so much more.
