Tuition & Fees - Policy & Rates Tuition and Fees Tuition and fees are established by a vote of the Board of Trustees. Approval normally occurs between April and July. The current academic year rates are published annually on the University’s Web site. Mandatory fees for all students include a Memorial Union fee, which funds the personnel, programs, and maintenance of the building; a health and counseling fee, which funds University Health Services and the Counseling Center; a recreation fee, which funds recreational sports facilities; a technology fee, which funds technology services and support for students and faculty; and a transportation fee, which funds transportation services on the Durham campus. The services and facilities are available to all and students are required to pay all mandatory fees charged regardless of actual usage of the programs and services. Mandatory fee charges are based on registration status—full- or part-time fees, depending on number of credit hours. Students enrolled in pre-designated evening-only programs do not pay the health and counseling fee. Students enrolled in 4 credits or less pay the technology fee only. 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 Webcat, a part of MyUNH (Blackboard), the student portal. E-mails are sent to students’ UNH-assigned e-mail address 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. Graduate tuition and fees apply to admitted graduate students enrolling for courses, graduate or undergraduate, at the University during the academic year. Admitted graduate students planning to enroll for UNH courses through weekend or executive programs during the summer session, or through the Center for Graduate and Professional Studies should consult the relevant publications for information regarding tuition and fees. To view the most current tuition rates and fees please visit the UNH Business Services Website. The Whittemore School of Business MBA programs have a different pricing structure. For their current rates and fees please visit the business services website (Under the MBA selection) for the most current figures. Mandatory Fees The University of New Hampshire assesses mandatory fees to support expenses associated with the participation in an academic community. Mandatory fees are defined as fees that all students are assessed as a prerequisite for registration unless specifically exempt. Mandatory fees are assessed because the services made available through such fees benefit the overall educational experience of the students, including academic, co-curricular, health-related, and recreational programs. It is recognized that not all students will use the benefits and privileges made available by fee-supported activities to an equal extent. The services and facilities supported by fees are available to all. The special circumstances of part-time and graduate students is reflected in the University’s fee structure. Fee Structure The mandatory fee includes:
Exceptions Students participating in a UNH Study Abroad Program or internship in the immediate geographic area (75-mile radius) for a semester are exempt from mandatory fees with the exception of the technology fee. All graduate students are exempt from the student activity and athletic fees. Graduate students enrolled in weekend/executive programs on the Durham campus are exempt from mandatory fees except the technology fee. Graduate students enrolled in evening-only programs, as approved by the provost and executive vice president for academic affairs or his/her designee, are exempt from the Health Services and Counseling fees. Doctoral students who have achieved candidacy may petition for a waiver of the mandatory student fees. A waiver will be granted under the following circumstances:
Authority Special Fees Continuing Enrollment Fee Students registered for Continuing Enrollment (GRAD 800) will pay a continuing enrollment fee. This fee will be waived for students who subsequently register for course credits or research within the semester. Master’s Continuing Research Fee Master’s students registered for Master’s Continuing Research (GRAD 900) will pay a continuing research fee plus full mandatory fees. Doctoral Research Fee Doctoral students in residence and registered for Doctoral Research (999) will pay a doctoral research fee plus full mandatory fees. Students who register for coursework in addition to Doctoral Research will pay the appropriate additional tuition charges up to the appropriate maximum tuition rate for full-time students. Doctoral candidates not in residence who are conducting their research away from the Durham campus may petition for a waiver of the mandatory fees. Differential TuitionStudents majoring in accounting, computer science, economics, and engineering will be charged a tuition differential. Students in these programs who are registered for Doctoral Research (999) or Masters-Continuing Research (GRAD 900) are considered full time and pay the full tuition differential. The current academic year rates are published annually. Other Charges and Fees Graduate students are charged full tuition plus the appropriate course charge for each credit beyond 16, if registered for more than 16 credits 30 days after the semester has begun. (No refund will be made if a student subsequently drops a course, reducing his or her course load to 16 or fewer credits.) Tuition waivers awarded with assistantships and scholarships do not cover charges for overload. Zero-Credit Seminars Seminars for 0 credits are billed as if they were for 1 credit. Charges for auditing a course are the same as those for taking it for credit. Late Fees A $25 late registration fee is charged to students who register after the last day scheduled for graduate registration. Late fees are also charged for changes in registration as follows: A $25 fee is charged for each course dropped after the third Friday of classes; a $25 fee is charged for each course added after the third Friday of classes. The late-add fee is charged in addition to the reinstatement fee when students register after the third week of classes. A change of section (within the same course) is accomplished by a “drop” of one section and an “add” of another section. The fee will not be assessed for the add portion of a late section change but the $25 drop fee will still apply for the drop portion of the late section change. Late fees are also charged on accounts remaining unpaid by mid-semester. Reinstatement Fee A $60 reinstatement fee is charged to any student who has his or her degree status discontinued and subsequently petitions to be reinstated during the same semester that the action to discontinue the degree status was taken. This fee will not be waived. Registration Fee Part-time students (i.e., those registering for 1 to 8 credits) pay a nonrefundable registration fee. Student Health Benefits Plan Health insurance is required as a condition of enrollment for full-time degree students at the University of New Hampshire beginning with the 2007-2008 academic year. Students will have the option of waiving this requirement if they present proof of adequate coverage; alternatively, students can acquire an affordable health benefits plan sponsored by the University. Information about the University’s Student Health Benefits Plan can be found at www.unh.edu/health-services/shbp/. Tuition and mandatory fees are refundable during the academic year in accordance with the calendar published by the Registrar’s Office (UNH Academic Calendar). Students receiving federal financial aid will have their refund calculated in accordance with the U.S. Department of Education regulations in effect at the time of their withdrawal. Specific details regarding the regulations are available in the UNH Financial Aid Office. Senior Tuition Waiver 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 (Summer/Fall/Spring) tuition-free. Students are responsible for all other costs of attendance, including fees. Prospective students who will be age 65 or older as of the first day of the semester, summer session, or term in which they wish to take a course can register starting two weeks prior to the first day of class on a space-available basis and must provide proof of age and New Hampshire residency. Waivers will only be granted at the time of registration (not retroactively). Non-credit courses, workshops, etc. are not covered by this tuition waiver. * Certain credit-bearing courses offered at UNH but
administered by other institutions – such as Isles of Shoals and Library
Science courses – are not covered by the tuition waiver. |
