Communication to Students
University communications are sent to students through the following channels:
- Official notifications are sent to students by many departments and offices via a UNH email address that is assigned by the University. This is UNH’s official mode of communication to students.
- University mailings are sometimes sent to campus addresses. Students may receive mail at Granite Square Station in the MUB.
- Students register, view grades, bills, student accounts and financial aid through the Webcat.
- Usernames (IT IDs) are obtained through the login help section. Additional assistance is available through the UNH IT Service Desk (603) 862-2525.
Student ID numbers and Social Security Numbers
Students will receive randomly-generated numbers to be used as their student IDs. UNH also requires that students provide their social security numbers so that we may comply with federal tax regulations. The SSNs will be stored securely within our information system and accessed only for federal tax reporting or financial aid purposes. UNH will already have SSNs on file for students who have filed FAFSAs. Families who intend to claim educational tax credits should be sure that UNH has the student SSN on record.
Student Financial Responsibility Agreement
All students must sign the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement as a condition of registration. This ensures that students are aware of our
billing policies and processes. This must be done by the student through Webcat. Please see the below tutorial.

Account Changes
No action is required if the amount of your check is equal to the "Pay This Amount" balance shown on your bill and if you have no changes to request. Use the Account Change link to communicate with the appropriate department regarding changes to your tuition bill. Using the links on the form will ensure that your student account is properly charged and credited.
Please submit these requests well before payment due dates to ensure ample time for account adjustments. If you are informing us of a loan or scholarship not shown on your bill, please mail or fax backup documentation (e.g., copy of loan application or scholarship award letter).
Direct Deposit - Request Your Refund Online
Direct deposit of student refunds for financial aid and credit balances is now available through Webcat. Check your student account - if you have an actual credit balance (not a pending credit), you can enter your banking information and request your refund. It will be deposited into your bank account in a few business days. This option is open to active students who are financially cleared for the semester, with no account holds. Refunds resulting from Parent PLUS Loans will be mailed to parent borrowers in the form of paper checks. Please be aware that most refunds are not ordered automatically – you must initiate each refund request, even when a direct deposit is already set up. Please see the Refund Schedule for estimated receipt of funds.

Perkins Forms
Various forms for Perkins borrowers (such as Unemployment, Economic Hardship, Deferment, and Cancellation) are available via the Perkins Forms link. This connects to UNH's Perkins Loan servicer, Heartland ECSI's form page. Please scroll down to the bottom of ECSI's page to find the form that is appropriate for your needs as UNH is not currently listed in the "School Specific Forms" section.
