Help your student explore
college options in New Hampshire
If your student is considering attending college, determining the best path for working toward a two-year or four-year degree can be overwhelming. But the process has become easier.
Flexible credit transfer
 The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) and University System of New Hampshire (USNH) now provide course credit transfer opportunities that allow students a wide range of options in working toward a degree. Students can begin their education at a two-year CCSNH college and then transfer their course credits and continue their education at a four-year USNH college or university. Students must achieve a course grade of a "C" or higher for course credits to be eligible for transfer.
We invite you to check out the High School Students section to learn about how to plan for college and to discover the advantages of starting college at an CCSNH college and transferring credits to a USNH college. Encourage your student to explore two-year and four-year college opportunities and the benefits of transferring credits from one college to another to develop a college plan that best meets your student's needs.
