Lock Out Services

Our Housing staff will check the key out under your name. Make sure to bring back the loaner key to the Housing Office once you are all set and before the office closes.
  • If you are unable to come to the Housing Office, please call us at (603) 862-2120. Let-ins are provided by UNH Housing and UNH Police Support Services. Each campus resident is allowed one complementary let-in during the academic year. Beginning the second let-in, the resident will be charged $25 per let-in via their UNH student account. 

Call Housing at (603) 862-2120 and follow the prompt to be transferred to the after-hour lockout services dispatch. You must wait by your room and provide some form of ID. If you left your ID in your room it can be shown once your door is unlocked.
