Welcome, admitted JD students!

We are very happy you have decided to join us.  Assistant Dean for Admissions Robin Ingli, Associate Director of Admissions Patricia Morris are committed to helping you. 

Here you will find the important deadlines and procedures you must follow to secure your seat in the next entering JD class.  There are separate procedures for admitted Graduate Program students.

Deadlines and procedures

April 15, 2013 ♦ First Seat Deposit
$300 nonrefundable seat deposit is due. For admissions issued in April, refer to deadline date on letter of admission.

June 3, 2013 ♦ Second Seat Deposit
$300 nonrefundable seat deposit is due.

To secure your seat in the Fall 2016 entering class, you are required to pay a deposit of $600 in two installments. Your seat deposit is nonrefundable and it will be applied toward your tuition upon your enrollment.  Payment may be made online by EFT or credit card; or, by mail, money order or check. You can make your payment online.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot process VISA credit cards via our online payment program. We do accept American Express, Mastercard and Discover.

Complete your FAFSA. U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents are eligible for financial aid, that may consist of U.S. government backed Stafford and Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study, or need-based grants. Your FAFSA will be used to determine your full financial aid package. The FAFSA is available online after January 1, 2013.

The Financial Aid Office will begin preparing Financial Aid Award Letters by the end of February once they receive the results of your FAFSA.  Once you receive the Award Letter, you should sign it and return to the Financial Aid Office and complete the additional loan paperwork online.

Student loans will be certified by the Financial Aid Office beginning in late July.

International Students

International students must complete and return the Financial Supplemental Form. The FSF must be completed and received by the Admissions Office, with supporting financial documents and your first deposit of $300, before UNH Law can issue an I–20. A copy of your passport, including your photograph page, must be provided when you submit your Financial Supplemental Form.

New Hampshire Domicile Discount

JD students who have been awarded the New Hampshire domicile tuition discount must complete and return a Certificate of New Hampshire Domicile. This form must be completed and received by the Admissions Office no later than July 15, 2013.  If the form is not received by July 15, 2013, you will forfeit the resident tuition waiver.

Please Request an Official Transcript.

As required by the American Bar Association, your offer of admission is contingent upon our receipt of an official undergraduate transcript verifying completion of your baccalaureate degree. The transcript provided by LSDAS is a photocopy and is not official. Please make arrangements to have your official undergraduate transcript mailed directly to us from your undergraduate institution upon completion of your undergraduate degree. You may also want to request an official copy for your own records. Our mailing address is: UNH School of Law Admissions Office, 2 White Street, Concord, NH 03301.

Orientation/Mentoring

UNH Law provides an extensive orientation program for all incoming students. Our Student Mentor program assigns an experienced student to all 1Ls to help with both the transition to law school and throughout the first year of studies. Student Mentors are happy to answer a range of questions, from getting settled in Concord to understanding law school assignments and exams.

Orientation details, and a comprehensive schedule, will be available this summer on the Events page in the Student Life section. Orientation dates can be found on the Academic Calendar.

Student Services provides an UNH School of Law community password-protected current housing list online.
