Common questions

Continuing education provides public access to higher education for individuals not formally admitted to a UNH degree program. Taking courses as a non-degree student is an excellent way to prepare for matriculation into a degree program, help advance or change careers, or study a topic of interest. For more helpful information, please visit: https://www.unh.edu/continuingeducation/. 

The UNH Nondegree Enrollment Hub is a web platform that allows you to easily search for and enroll in credit-bearing courses as a non-matriculated continuing education learner at UNH.

Only courses “pre-approved” for nondegree continuing education enrollment are available for search and enrollment on the Nondegree Enrollment Hub.  For a list of all UNH courses, visit UNH Course Search.
