The purpose of this handbook is to give physics graduate students an overview of their rights and responsibilities while they are here at UNH. Sources within the department for further information are the Graduate Advisor (for physics questions) and the Physics Administrative Assistant (for paperwork).
The most important office outside the department is the Graduate School Office on the first floor of Thompson Hall (T-Hall). The Graduate School can offer help on general (i.e. non-physics) questions. Their phone number is +1-603-862-3000. The graduate catalog is the definitive resource for UNH rules, such as time limits. It is also the authoritative source for the rules covering the Physics M.S. and Ph.D. programs. While we have included some of those rules in this document, we recommend checking with the Graduate School. The Graduate School also provides a lot of information for graduate students. UNH has a Graduate Student Senate, which can be an useful resource.
International students will find the International Student Office to be their best resource for questions or problems related to their foreign status (e.g. Visas).
