Calendar & Closures 
Professional Development & Training programs do not adhere to UNH’s semester-based academic calendar since PD&T programs are offered throughout the year and can span multiple semesters or terms. 

Enrollment Requirements 
Professional Development & Training programs are generally 'open enrollment' - available to the public without academic or professional prerequisites, and do not involve a formal admission process. As space allows, enrollment is generally open until noon ET the day before a program is scheduled to take place. Programs offered in partnership with external program providers may adhere to different admission guidelines. 

Attendance 
Student attendance is mandatory for all Professional Development & Training programs. If a student does not attend the required number of program sessions (as determined by the program instructor) a student may not receive CEUs for the program. 

Academic Progress 
Professional Development & Training students are evaluated on a Complete/Incomplete basis. “Complete” criteria includes a student attendance for, and participation in, all aspects of the program. “Incomplete” criteria describes a student who does not attend, and or participate in, some or all aspects of the program. Students who successfully complete a program will receive a letter of completion that is also archived by Professional Development & Training’s registrar. Programs offered in partnership with external program providers may adhere to different attendance and completion guidelines.

Student Conduct 
Students participating in any program organized by Professional Development & Training must abide by the University of New Hampshire’s Student Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities (unh.edu/student-life/student-rights-rules-responsibilities). Failure to abide by these guidelines will result in immediate removal from a program without the student receiving credit for participation, or receiving a refund. 

Schedule of Fees
Enrollment, material, and certificate fees vary for all Professional Development & Training programs. All program prices listed include tuition, supplies, and fees, unless otherwise specified in the program description.

Prior Learning 
Professional Development & Training does not grant credit or equivalency for any programs not administered by PD&T. Information about continuing education units is described on each program-specific webpage. CEUs are issued to PD&T open-enrollment students at no additional cost as long as they have completed the course requirements successfully. 

Nondiscrimination Policy 
All Professional Development & Training programs are held in accordance with the University’s Statement of Nondiscrimination which is as follows:
