Refunds
To be eligible for a cancellation or refund of tuition charges, students must formally withdraw from the course under the University’s self-service on-line registration system. The date of online withdrawal determines the amount of the refund, if any, due the student.
Tuition may be refunded in full when a class is closed, full, canceled or when the university rejects the enrollment application. If a student chooses to drop or withdraw from a course, the following schedule applies:
Any refund amount is credited to the student’s UNH account or, if requested, may be credited to the student’s credit card account or issued directly as a check. No refunds are made for courses taken and subsequently waived.
Financial Aid
Financial aid award decisions are made after careful consideration of a student’s application for assistance. Eligibility for financial aid is based on financial need. Need is determined by subtracting the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), as determined by the federal needs analysis formula using the financial information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), from the Cost of Attendance. In calculating need, the Financial Aid Office attempts to consider all aspects of a student’s financial circumstances and attempt to meet the need for aid through a package of assistance, generally consisting of unsubsidized loans and, when applicable, merit-based awards; i.e., assistantships and fellowships. Need-based financial aid programs are available to matriculated students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens who are enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Merit-based programs are open to all matriculated students.
Non-Need-Based Programs (U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens only)
- Federal Direct UnsubsidizedStafford Loans – Eligible students may borrow up to $20,500 per academic year. Interest accrues while the student is in school and during periods of deferment. The federal government does not pay the interest. The student can make monthly or quarterly payments to the lender, or the student and the lender may agree that the student will not make interest payments and instead add the interest to the principal of the loan (capitalization).
