Deadlines

Who should apply for readmission?

  1. Students who have withdrawn from the University of New Hampshire.
  2. Students whose student type has been changed to “degree status discontinued” after missing the 6-semester window to apply for reinstatement post academic suspension or leave of absence or the 4-semester window to apply for reinstatement post disciplinary suspension.

If you have left UNH due to academic suspension, disciplinary suspension or a leave of absence, the process to return to UNH is outlined below.

How do I return to UNH if I was academically suspended?

If you are returning from academic suspension, you should complete the reinstatement form located on the Registrar’s website here.

Students that have been academically suspended retain access to UNH email and all other UNH accounts. Students that do not return within 6 semesters will lose access when their degree status will be discontinued.

How do I return if I left UNH after a disciplinary suspension?

Students seeking to reenroll for courses after a disciplinary suspension must complete and submit a Return from Suspension application. The Director of Community Standards will verify eligibility and review all evidence demonstrating any required conditions have been satisfied prior to approval and reinstatement. More information about the reinstatement process can be found online at www.unh.edu/conduct.

How do I return if I left UNH for a Leave of Absence?

Students who wish to return from a Leave of Absence should contact the Registrar’s office (registrar.records@unh.edu). You can learn more the Leave of Absence process, return information and contact information on the Registrar’s website.
