What's different

Requirements for international applicants

These are the added requirements for international applicants. Your deadlines are on the first-year or transfer  pages.

Transcripts

Submit official high school transcripts or your GED, with English translations. A service such as WES or CED can provide them.

Transfer applicants: also submit official transcripts from every college you attended, so we can evaluate your credits.

English proficiency

Required if English is not your first language. Scores must be sent directly from the testing agency. UNH’s TOEFL CEEB code is 3918.

  • TOEFL iBT: 4.5 (tests taken January 2026 or later)
  • IELTS: 6.5 overall

Additional documentation

  • Include a photocopy of the biographic page of your passport.
  • SAT and ACT scores are optional, unless your school gives narrative evaluations instead of grades.
  • No interviews are required. Offers of admission are conditional on verification of your senior-year achievement.

Application fee

The application fee is $65 for non-resident applicants, including international applicants. You pay it when you submit the Common App.
