UNH Online Student Resources

Please note that the UNH term calendar operates on a different schedule from the traditional semester model, running in 8-week terms.

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) provides services to students who have permanent or temporary disabilities, including students with physical or learning disabilities and students with health issues (mental or physical) which impact their UNH experience. We seek to create a welcoming, universally accessible environment where all students are able to participate in the myriad aspects of the UNH experience. Students have the right (and responsibility) to self-disclose and make use of the services available. To begin this process, students are encouraged to contact SAS to discuss what services, resources, and accommodations exist. The choice –to use or not –is yours. Make an informed choice. We invite you to connect with us to learn about the options available. If at any time you cannot access forms or pages on this site and need to request an accessible format, please email SAS.office@unh.edu for assistance.

If there's anything that UNH loves, it's acronyms. Here is a list of common acronyms you'll hear in the community. As a general rule of thumb, if there's a way to pronounce the acronym as a word (like PACS or MUB or COLA), you should do so. Additional acronyms you’ll hear in the graduate community include: GSS (Graduate Student Senate), ABUGS (Advisory Board for Underrepresented Graduate Students), 3MT (3-Minute Thesis), GRC (Graduate Research Conference), DYF (Dissertation Year Fellowship), STAF (Summer Teaching Assistant Fellowship), and RCR (Responsible Conduct of Research).
