Ready for Summer 2008? Ready to
Grow?
WELCOME
and GREETINGS
from the Graduate School at the University of New Hampshire!
Ready to grow and learn this summer?
Well the Summer semester is rapidly
approaching with classes in Durham beginning on Tuesday, May 27,
2008. Please note that payment is due at the time
of registration. We trust that you are looking forward to an exciting and productive
Summer at UNH. On this site you will find information which should be
helpful in planning for the Summer semester. Registration information,
including the Course Schedule, can be found at the
Continuing Education website.
Center for Graduate &
Professional Studies (CGPS) Students: Please
visit the CGPS
Website for information specific to new and returning students in
these programs for the Summer semester.
Should you have any questions about your graduate status please contact
our office directly. If you have questions about the registration
process please contact the
Continuing
Education Office directly.
 ALL STUDENTS
(New and Returning)
Summer
Registration and Planning Your
Program:
When registering you can use the
Time and Room Schedule,
course descriptions and the
graduate registration page to help you find what you need.
-
For general registration
information visit the
Continuing Education Registration page.
-
Graduate courses are numbered 800-
or 900-level.
-
All summer matriculated graduate students must
be registered for coursework every summer, i.e., courses
in your program or Grad 800 continuing enrollment (after your 1st
semester) at UNH, until they complete their program of study. If
you have questions please contact our office at 603-862-3000 and
review our
policy on
continuous registration.
-
Up to 12 graduate credits can be
earned in 700-level courses provided such courses are outside the
student's major program. A petition for exception to academic policy
(available on-line or at the Graduate School) must be completed and
approved prior to registration in order to receive graduate credit
for a 700-level course. Undergraduate level courses taken by
graduate students are billed at the graduate rate. Such courses must
be taken for a letter grade.
-
A graduate student may petition to
take undergraduate courses on a pass/fail basis. Such a petition
must be approved by the end of the add period for the term in which
the course is to be taken. Again, any 700-level course approved for
graduate credit must be taken for a grade. Therefore, they can not
be taken using the pass/fail grading option.
-
Graduate credit cannot be earned
in courses below the 700-level.
-
If you are a new graduate student, you
are NOT eligible to enroll in GRAD 800. If you are not taking
course credits or research credits, you may wish to request that
your admission be deferred to a future term by contacting the
Graduate School’s Admission Office directly.
-
Although many graduate-level
courses are offered during the summer session, the University does
not guarantee that any particular course will be offered. The
availability of individual faculty members to supervise research or
to participate in qualifying examinations and final examinations or
defenses during the summer session varies from year to year. Course
information and registration materials may be obtained at
http://www.learn2.unh.edu/
-
Maximum Load During the Summer:
The maximum graduate load allowed is 12 credits for the entire
summer session. A student will be allowed to exceed this limit only
by petition with the recommendation of the student’s adviser,
graduate program coordinator, and the approval of the Dean of the
Graduate School.
Conduct
of Research and Scholarly Activity
As an institution of higher education that prides itself on extensive
research endeavors and the involvement of graduate students in research
projects, UNH has an obligation to teach and actively promote integrity
in research and scholarship. This
booklet
contains eight University policies that govern your research activities
at the University. It is your responsibility to be familiar with them
and to follow them. For more information on research conduct issues,
visit the
Research Conduct and Compliance homepage.
Online Access to UNH:
UNH offers students a variety of
online services. Using our Single Sign-on process students need just one
username and password to access the UNH portal through
MyUNH (Blackboard). From
MyUNH you can access Webcat (for
student services such as registering for classes, paying bills and
checking grades), UNH e-mail (your UNH email address used for all
official communication with UNH) and much more. UNH billing is
electronic only - bills are not sent through the mail. Students access
bills through Webcat and billing notifications are sent through the
UNH-assigned email address.
Please Note:
Your UNH Email address is the official address used for all
communication from UNH and you are responsible for checking this
account for email from University offices.
The key to Single Sign-On is your
username. Your Single Sign-on (MyUNH) username was created for you when
you first applied to UNH. For further information on acquiring your
username and setting your password, please visit our
MyUNH

Summer Student
Billing at UNH:
Tuition and fees are due by the
published deadline, and students are not considered registered until
they have paid. UNH no longer sends bills through the mail – students
receive bills through MyUNH (Blackboard). E-mails are sent to students’
UNH-assigned e-mail addresses when new bills are posted. Payment may be
made online or mailed – check, credit card, cash or wire is accepted.
Late fees may be assessed on balances remaining unpaid by mid-semester.
Here are the
summer tuition and fee rates. For more information on
