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. PD&T adheres to UNH’s scheduled holidays and closures. For a current list of UNH holidays and closures visit unh.edu/hr/holidays.  

Enrollment Requirements 
Professional Development & Training programs are 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 midnight, the day before a program is scheduled to take place. (The only exceptions are the UNH Coding Boot Camp and UNH Data Analytics Boot Camp, which require a more detailed application and admission process). 

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. (The only exceptions are the UNH Coding Boot Camp and UNH Data Analytics Boot Camp, which in addition to having mandatory attendance and participation, also have periodic graded assessments and projects.) 

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. 

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: 

The University of New Hampshire seeks excellence through diversity among its administrators, faculty, staff and students. We are committed to enhancing and sustaining an educational community that is inclusive and equitable, and cherish these values as being inextricably linked to our core mission. We are a public institution with a long-standing commitment to equal employment and educational opportunity for all qualified persons.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or marital status. This applies to admission to, access to, treatment within, or employment in UNH programs or activities.

A transfer to another open workshop can be processed at no charge five or more days from the program start date. No refunds are available less than five calendar days in advance of the program, and transfer requests will incur a $25 administrative fee.

Conferences: Professional Development & Training will issue refunds minus a $50 administrative fee if written notice is provided fourteen or more calendar days in advance of the program start date. A transfer to another open workshop can be processed at no charge fourteen or more days from the program start date.

UNH Professional Development & Training reserves the right to cancel any program due to insufficient enrollment no later than three business days prior to the start date. Cancellations or rescheduling of sessions due to inclement weather or instructor emergency may also occur. In these cases, PD&T makes every effort to notify participants by email as soon as the decision has been made. Within three business days, PD&T will also notify participants by phone using their 'day-of contact information' provided during checkout. 

Available discounts will be noted on individual course pages, under “Potential Discount(s)”.  

• UNH Alumni Discount 
  • ​Members of the University of New Hampshire/Durham alumni community are eligible for a 10% discount off UNH Professional Development & Training workshops and conferences.* Use the code UNH-Alum in the “Apply a Discount” field when registering online. 
  • Your registration will be finalized upon confirmation of alumni status. For questions about discount eligibility, call (603) 862-7380. USNH employees who are also UNH alumni may use one code - the tuition benefit discount OR the UNH alumni discount. 
  • ​Discount does not apply towards courses offered through external program partners.

If you are a benefits-eligible USNH employee, your tuition benefit will cover approximately 47% of the fee (the total tuition amount minus the cost of meals, handouts, and facilities) of PD&T non-credit offerings. The benefit may exclude some special programs and/or online noncredit offerings*. 

If you wish to use your USNH tuition benefit towards one or more Professional Development & Training (PD&T) offerings, the process is as follows:

1) Log in to your WISE account to submit a request for the tuition benefit. Please do this the same day you register for the course*. Be sure to select Univ of NewHampshire-Noncredit in the USNH Institution of Course field, and then select the “Semester/Term” for the course you will be registering for. 

2) Register for the PD&T offering through the training.unh.edu website, and in the “Apply a Discount” field, enter the code USNH. Your tuition will be automatically re-calculated to include the employee discount. 

3) Continue to checkout. If you are paying for the balance with personal funds, you may pay by credit card or select “Invoice in Full” to receive an invoice to pay by check. If your department is paying for the remainder of the balance by internal transfer, please select “Invoice in Full”. Once you receive your invoice, please contact our main office to provide your FOAPAL details. We are unable to accept pCards or encumbrances for internal purchases.

*More information on completing your WISE form: 

If you indicated the course was during work hours, the request is routed to your supervisor and Human Resources for approval. If registering for multiple courses during work hours, please note you are required to submit a separate tuition benefit request for each course in WISE. Once approved, your request will be reflected in your WISE account. If your WISE tuition benefit request is approved, you will receive a 'WISE transaction number'; please enter this at checkout. If your tuition benefit request is not approved or you did not submit a request in WISE, your discount will be voided and you will be responsible for paying the full amount.
