Readmission Information

Deadlines

  • Fall semester: July 1
  • Spring semester: December 1

Process

Readmission applications are processed by UNH Manchester's Office of Admissions and decisions are made by the Dean’s Office in consultation with the Division of Student & Academic Affairs. For information regarding departmental prerequisites, contact UNH Manchester's Office of Admissions at 603-641-4150 or unhm.admissions@unh.edu.

Health Withdrawals

  • In addition to the reinstatement form, you must obtain a letter from your physician/therapist who has treated you since your withdrawal, indicating the extent of your readiness to resume studies, a description of the status of your condition, and any special needs you may require upon arrival to campus. Have the letter sent directly to UNH Health Services, Executive Director's Office, 4 Pettee Brook Lane, Durham, NH 03824
  • The physician/therapist's information will be reviewed by the Executive Director of Health Services, as well as your college's Associate Dean, as part of the readmission process. The Admissions Office will consult with the Executive Director of Health Services and your Dean before making a final decision regarding your admission.

Readmission after Academic Suspension

If you are returning from academic suspension, you should complete the reinstatement form

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.

Readmission after Academic Dismissal

Only under extraordinary circumstances will a student be readmitted after being academically dismissed (a second suspension is considered a dismissal). Consult with your former college dean PRIOR to submitting a readmission application.

Transcripts of Non-UNH Coursework

Coursework completed at other institutions will be evaluated for transfer credit upon receipt of an official transcript. The transcript must include final grades for all coursework completed, including coursework in progress at the time of application.

The deadline for filing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is March 1. Additional information is available at the Financial Aid website.
