Each college at UNH holds its own Admitted Student Visit Day (ASVD), along with other smaller admitted student events.

Please note that these events fill quickly, so don't wait to sign up! Visit the Admitted Student Visit Day web page for event details and registration. Can't make it to Admitted Student Day? We have plenty of other options for visiting our campus this spring, including student-led campus tours and alternate admitted student events for each college!

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 so much more.
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 mid-spring. In the meantime, visit the orientation web page for additional details and event information.
