How to Register: Continuing Education Students

Are you in pursuit of professional advancement, a personal goal, a career change, applying to graduate school, or fulfilling your love of learning?

UNH Manchester offers classes to help you achieve the success you desire. Credit courses may be applied toward a future degree program.  If you haven't been admitted to a UNH Manchester degree program, you would be considered a continuing education or non-degree student. Continuing education or non-degree students are limited to register for no more than 11 credits (usually two four-credit courses).

The eligibility requirements for enrolling in credit-bearing courses include:

  • A high school diploma or equivalent.
  • Demonstrated successful academic performance.
  • Successful completion of all course prerequisites.
  • Not currently under disciplinary sanctions from UNH/UNH Manchester, another college or university, or court-ordered probation or other sanctions.

*The University reserves the right to restrict registration to those who can demonstrate the completion of the above requirements and to bar registration or withdraw a student who upon request fails to provide proper documentation or who demonstrates unacceptable performance once enrolled.

All UNH alumni are eligible for a 10% tuition waiver for courses at UNH Manchester. These courses are not eligible to be used toward a degree program and the 10% tuition waiver can only be used for a maximum of two credit bearing courses per academic year.

New Hampshire residents who are age 65 or older and are not enrolled in a degree program are eligible to take a maximum of two credit-bearing courses* per academic year, tuition-free. Students are responsible for all other costs of attendance, including fees.

More Information

Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

If you would like to give authorized access to your UNH financial and/or academic student records, you must complete a FERPA Waiver Release Form.

The Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act or FERPA (the Buckley Amendment) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.  The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA defines students’ rights broadly, giving the student the right to control to whom their education record is released. Broadly, FERPA:

  • Establishes the rights of students to inspect and review their education records, 
  • Provides students the right to control the release of education records to third parties without the permission of the student
  • Provides guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through formal and informal hearings. 
  • Provides students the right to file complaints with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the Act.

The University System's FERPA-related policies are in the Students Right, Rules, and Responsibilities published each fall by the University.

RETURN FROM ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
 

Manchester students that wish to return from an Academic Suspension must complete a Reactivation from Academic Suspension or Leave of Absence Form. The form will be reviewed by the UNH Manchester Director of Academic Advising for UNH Manchester students. Students must provide a statement explaining why they believe they can successfully complete a UNH degree program and specific steps they will take to ensure future academic success. If approved, the student will be reinstated into the major they left and will receive confirmation from the Office of the Registrar. If the student no longer qualifies for the major they left, their request for return will be reviewed by the UNH Manchester Director of Academic Advising for reactivation into the Undeclared major.

Return from Academic Suspension Deadline
The Reactivation from Academic Suspension or Leave of Absence form must be submitted no later than 2 weeks before the semester of return begins.

Students who would like to be advised on their decision may contact the Academic Advising Office. Students taking a leave for health reasons should contact Health and Wellness in Durham.

A leave of absence may impact student loan deferment and/or loan repayment. Remember to contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss your financial aid status.

A student will not be granted transfer credit for academic work taken during the Leave of Absence. Students who wish to attend another institution or otherwise do not wish to continue their education at UNH should withdraw.

Under the Student Exchange Program of the New Hampshire College and University Council, UNH Manchester students may be eligible to enroll for one course per semester, one semester of courses, or a full year of coursework at a member school on a space-available basis. The NHCUC exchange allows matriculating undergraduates to use educational resources that are not available at the home campus and are considered appropriate for their degree programs. This exchange will be used only when academic reasons or other special circumstances warrant it. Schools in the NHCUC consortium include:

Colby-Sawyer College, Franklin Pierce University, Granite State College, Hellenic American University, Keene State College, New England College (including the Institute of Art and Design), Plymouth State University, Rivier University, St. Anselm College, Southern New Hampshire University and the University of New Hampshire (including UNH Manchester).

Students will remain as degree candidates and continue to pay normal UNH tuition and fees, but must make their own room and board arrangements if they plan to spend a full semester at another consortium school. For more information and application forms, students should contact the UNH Manchester Associate Registrar at (603) 641-4164 or doreen.palmer@unh.edu.
