Application Procedure

The University of New Haven has a rolling admissions process for part-time students. That means that we do not have specific deadlines. Applications are accepted up until the start of the specific academic term.  However, we strongly recommend that you submit your application as early as possible to allow sufficient time for processing.

All new students must submit an online admission application.  When you get to the application menu you will see four application options. Select the "UNDERGRADUATE Part-Time, Accelerated or Visiting/Non-Degree Students" application. NOTE: When you click, it will open an application that says "Graduate & Adult Application for Admission" on the top. This is the correct application.

Select the   UNDERGRADUATE   Part-time, Accelerated or Visiting/Non-Degree Students Applications

• After completing the application you must be certain to click the "Submit" button on the BOTTOM of the "Final Step: Signature Page".  


• Submit official transcripts from all the colleges/universities that you have attended as well as an official copy of your high school transcript.  A satisfactory General Equivalency Diploma (GED) is acceptable in place of a high school diploma. (If you have completed more than 24 college credits you do not have to submit your high school transcript.) Transcripts should be sent to:
  
  

  University of New Haven, c/o University College (CAPS) Echlin Hall, 300 Boston Post Road, West Haven, CT 06516

NOTE:  Students applying to UNH as a Non-Degree/Visiting Student should select "Non-Degree" as their intended major. "Non-Degree/Visiting Students" do not have to submit official transcripts. However you may be required to submit copies of your college academic transcript(s) to verify that you have met any prerequisite requirements for your course(s), if applicable. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable for non-degree students. You can fax them to University College at (203) 932-7261 or mail them to us.

• Once your application has been received and processed, you will receive a letter and information packet from University College.  Instructions for registration will be included in the packet. 

• If you are applying for a degree program, you will receive an academic worksheet for your intended major with a preliminary transfer credit evaluation (TCE) once you have been accepted. The TCE will outline how many transfer credits you may be awarded. 

• Under separate cover you will also receive a letter from the Information Services Office and an email from matrixstudentsupport@newhaven.edu.  The letter and email will contain your User ID and Password and will give you access to the Matrix Student Information System for on-line course registration and on-line bill payment as well as access to your UNH email and the Blackboard Learning System. Further details and information will be included in the letter/email. 


• According to Connecticut State Law (Public Act 89-90) all students born on or after January 1, 1957 who are entering an institution of higher education must show proof of having received immunizations. You must have an "Immunization Form" completed by your physician and submitted to the UNH Health Services Office by the first day of the academic term.  Further "Part-Time Student Immunization Information" can be found on the Health Serices webpage.

FORMER UNH STUDENTS:

• Former UNH students who have not attended UNH within the past year must complete a new admission application in order to be reactivated. (Note: You may be required to resubmit your previous credentials if the university no longer has your old records on file). Please note that students who have attended UNH previously will still have the same User ID and password for accessing the Matrix Student Information System once you have been reactivated.
