Admitted students, let’s get started

This is where your UNH adventure begins! Follow these steps to make it official, connect with your new community, and start preparing for the friends, experiences, and opportunities that will define your next big chapter. 

Enrollment steps

From admitted to enrolled

Follow this simple six-step checklist to say, “I’m in,” set yourself up for success, and get ready for an unforgettable first year. 

01

Activate your UNH accounts

Set up your UNH email and MyUNH account so you can access important updates, class info, and campus resources right away.

02

Submit your enrollment deposit

Enrolling in May or June? Pay your enrollment deposit. Enrolling mid-July or later, or starting in spring? Complete the enrollment verification form instead.

03

Register for Admitted Student Day

Meet current and future Wildcats, faculty, and staff, and learn about your academic program. Space is limited.

04

Sign up for orientation

First-year students: watch for your New Student Orientation invitation after depositing. Transfer students: your advisor will email you directly with next steps.

05

Send your final transcripts

Have your school send official final transcripts directly to UNH Manchester Admissions (unhm.admissions@unh.edu)

06

Connect with fellow Wildcats

Follow @UNHStudents on Instagram to meet your classmates, ask questions, and get a sneak peek at Wildcat life.

A few more things to take care of

The checklist above covers the essentials. Depending on your situation, a few other items may apply to you.

01
Withdraw/Refund Information

After the enrollment deposit deadline, deposits are non-refundable. Please contact Admissions at admissions@unh.edu for questions.

02
Deferral Information
Open icon icon to open the summary

Deferrals may be requested for up to one year. If you were originally admitted for fall, please use this Fall Deferral Request form. If you were originally admitted for spring, please use this Spring Deferral Request form. Should you have any questions, please contact Admissions at admissions@unh.edu or (603) 862-1360.

  • With few exceptions, UNH will not approve deferral requests for students to complete college coursework elsewhere or for a post-graduate year.
  • If you know you will be deferring your admission, you do not need to send in an enrollment deposit now; however, if there is a chance your plans may change, an enrollment deposit must be received by May 1 to guarantee fall semester entry.
  • If a deferral is approved, a form to reinstate admission for the future semester will be sent with the approval letter. Please follow the instructions provided on that form.
  • Students who defer for a year must remember to complete the FAFSA by March 1 of the year they will be enrolling to be considered for need-based financial aid.
  • Students who defer for only one semester will have their financial aid package modified accordingly.

Incoming student health requirements (immunization records)

Various documents and immunizations are required for attendance at UNH — this is required, not optional.

Learn more about required health forms

Missing records may result in a registration hold that blocks course registration and schedule changes. Questions: Health and Wellness, (603) 862-9355.

Enroll or waive the UNH Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP)

All full-time degree students must have health insurance as a condition of enrollment. You'll receive an email with directions to enroll or waive through the Wellfleet portal using your UNH login.

If you do not waive the SHBP, your account will be charged automatically. Questions: Health and Wellness, (603) 862-9355.
