All courses taken while on exchange are pre-approved prior to leaving UNH.
Course Approval
The?UNH NSE Course Planning?Form, which every student is required to complete before their exchange, denotes how many credits will be accepted and the specific requirement each course satisfies.? Visit the?UNH Transfer Course Database?for U.S. courses that have been accepted as Discovery courses by UNH in the past.??
The following UNH policies apply to all exchange students:
Grades
Grades of?"C"?or better will be accepted in transfer from NSE and NHCUC member exchange institutions.??“C-“ or "D" will not transfer.?Students exchanging to campuses on the Quarter or Trimester system must fully understand the implications of transferring courses from Quarter to Semester school to UNH. Exchange is only approved when the student can exchange for two or more quarters, and courses MUST be at least 4 credits each.
Credits
For a full explanation of all UNH transfer credit policies, please refer to the UNH Study?Away USA agreement and the?UNH Registrar's Office.
Plan on satisfying the?University Writing Requirement (UWR)?while at UNH.? Given the difficulty of documenting Writing Intensive (WI) methods at other campuses, it is advised that students take WI courses at UNH before or after your exchange, to ensure that you meet graduation requirements.
Some UNH majors require that major courses taken on exchange be only from campuses that have certain accreditations. Please check with your academic advisor or major department for accreditation requirements or recommendations. Here are a few examples:
- CEPS majors should speak with an?academic advisor about?ABET?requirements.
- RMP majors should search for campuses accredited by the?NRPA.
- Paul College students must check that their HOST school is accredited by?AACSB.
Registration in EXCH 595 maintains UNH full-time student status for financial aid, registration after exchange, and on-campus housing upon return (if requested).
