Advising Resources
Students who wish to receive credit for Advanced Placement exams from high school or the College Level Examination Program must have official scores sent directly from the College Board to UNH.
The Course Search lists all courses being offered in each semester and relevant information, including the days and time of the class and the modality.
To learn how to navigate the course search, watch this quick tutorial.
Degree Works is a degree evaluation and audit tool that allows students to view progress toward their degree completion by displaying completed, in progress, and outstanding requirements.

The Center for Academic Enrichment provides a math assessment to aid incoming students in math course selection. This tool is designed to help you assess your mathematical knowledge and skills and make choices that will facilitate your academic success.
Math assessments are free for UNH Manchester students and can be taken online both in a place and at a time that is most convenient for you! After completing the assessment, you will have an opportunity to compare your score to which math courses would be appropriate for you. You will also be provided individualized Prep and Learning Modules to improve your mathematical knowledge. After working in the modules, you will have the choice to re-take the assessment up to 3 times, if needed, to improve your score for up to six months.
Incoming students needing a quantitative reasoning course are strongly encouraged to take the math assessment. This tool will give you immediate access to free effective resources and guide you towards the best path for success in completing your quantitative reasoning requirement.
Students looking to enroll in MATH 425: Calculus I are required to take the math assessment unless they already meet the prerequisite for the course.
All new students need to activate their UNH accounts. For assistance, please call the UNH IT Help Desk at (603)862-2525 or visit their website at https://www.unh.edu/it/.
