The Wellness Center is licensed by the State of New Hampshire as an Educational Health Facility and is here to provide medical and mental health care for campus students.

As a way to provide the best care possible and ensure the health and safety of the campus community, all residential students, full time undergraduate campus students, international students, and full time graduate campus students taking classes on the Manchester campus must provide the following medical record requirements prior to the start of classes on campus.

For the Spring '26 semester, all requirements are due November 20, 2026.

• A health history form (including consent for treatment while on campus)
• Accurate immunization records
• Tuberculosis screen and any needed tuberculosis test results

To submit your Medical Requirements, complete the following steps:

• Click on Patient Portal/Medical Records
• Follow instructions to enter all required immunizations, complete required online forms and upload any needed corroborating documentation.

Immunization Requirements:
All residential students, all undergraduate campus students, all international students and all full-time graduate day campus students taking classes on the Manchester campus must provide complete and accurate immunization records. Students are required to provide proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), hepatitis b series, meningitis (ACWY), tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (TDaP, as well as the DTAP series), and two doses of the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine or proof of having had the disease. When appropriate, titers demonstrating immunity will be accepted.

Students are required to provide this information prior to the start of their first term taking courses or residing on campus. Failure to fulfill this requirement will result in the student’s inability to participate in academic, residential or co-curricular experiences.

There are a few additional steps to take to prepare for the spring semester:

Be on the lookout for your Academic Advisor reaching out to you, introducing themselves, getting to know you, and working on schedules together! You may also see a New Student Inventory survey sent via email to help us obtain some important information. If you have any questions, we are always available by email at academicadvising@snhu.edu.

If you are choosing to live on campus, sign the Housing License Agreement to be placed into on-campus housing. To sign the Housing License Agreement, please follow these steps:

• Log-in using your MySNHU email and password to enter the Residence Life portal.
• Click on "Access MyHousing Director" from the top of the page.
• Click on "Applications and Housing Agreements" on the banner when you reach your MyHousing home page. A drop-down menu will appear, and you will select the “2025-2026 Housing License – Incoming Student Application” from the list.

If you are planning to transfer AP exam scores or Dual Enrollment credits to SNHU, please follow the guidelines below:

• AP exam scores of 3 or higher may be eligible to transfer to SNHU for college credit. Students must request an official score report from the College Board in order to apply AP exam scores towards their SNHU degree. Score reports can be sent via the College Board website.
• Dual Enrollment credits (college level courses completed in high school) may also be transferred to SNHU. Students must request an official transcript from the college or university which awarded the course credits. Students should work with the Registrar’s Office at each school and follow the institution’s process for requesting official transcripts. Please note that if you have completed Dual Enrollment credits through SNHU, your courses are already part of your student record and a transcript does not need to be requested.

Official transcripts can be sent electronically or by mail using the addresses below:
Electronic delivery: cocedocs@snhu.edu
Mail delivery: Southern New Hampshire University, 2500 North River Road, Manchester NH 03106

Our goal at student financial services is to make the financial aid process as easy as possible. We partner with students and supporters to identify, educate and offer the best financial resources available so that you can remain focused on your college experience.

Your financial aid offer is determined by the information you and your family provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A financial aid offer may consist of:

• Scholarships or grants (do not need to be repaid)
• Federal student loans (must be repaid)
• Federal work-study (must be earned)

To accept an offered Federal Direct Student Loan, you will need to complete Entrance Loan Counseling and sign a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note, both of which can be done online at studentaid.gov. If you have not yet applied for Federal Financial Aid, please do so by visiting fafsa.gov. SNHU’s school code is 002580.

Upon reviewing your financial aid offer, you may decide to reduce or decline your federal student loans. Please complete a loan change request form to reduce or decline these loans.

To learn more about payment options, please contact our office. We can guide you on how to pay your bill and/or enroll in an interest free payment plan. Payment plans will be made available in your Student Account Center once your bill is finalized.

Please note: Bills will be available December 2, 2025 and payment for your full first semester tuition balance is due by January 2, 2026. You can view your bill in your Student Account Center via the my.snhu.edu portal.

Your options to receive the refund include:

• Deposit the funds into a current personal bank account
