Õ¬ÄÐƵµÀ

When you choose Õ¬ÄÐƵµÀ, you get the flexibility of an anytime, anywhere education combined with the stability of an inclusive academic community eager to see you thrive. Whether you’re beginning your first degree or advancing in your career, we’re committed to your success as an online student, from start to finish.

Coursework: Assignments are due Thursday and Sunday

At SNHU, online classes have no set meeting times or live lectures. Instead, you’ll complete assignments on your own time within a structured format called a weekly module — giving you the flexibility you need and predictability you can count on. You'll access modules and coursework through Brightspace, our online learning platform. You can also use the Brightspace mobile app on your phone or tablet, as long as you have a desktop or laptop as your primary device.

Term Structure: Take 1 or 2 courses every 8-10 weeks

Instead of fall and spring semesters, our online terms are shorter and more frequent. That way, you can apply anytime, rather than rushing — or waiting — for fall or spring enrollment. We're ready when you are!

Taking 1 or 2 courses per term allows you to do more or less depending on what works for you. And — unlike online colleges that have flat-rate tuition — at SNHU, if you only take one course, you only pay for one course. That means you can take your time and get your degree at a pace that works for your life and your budget.

If all that sounds a little confusing at this point, don't worry — your academic advisor will guide you through it, helping you map out your degree plan and register for classes each term.

Student Services: We’re here to support your success

Everyone at SNHU — from your advisor and instructors to our librarians and career services staff — is here to help you reach your goals. Because we’ve been offering online learning since 1995, we’ve had time to develop best-in-class online support. Whether you need help with math, want to discuss your career path or are looking for support in balancing school and life, we’ve got you.

Õ¬ÄÐƵµÀ Community: Explore, participate and connect

You’re part of a community at SNHU because we know connection is an essential part of the college experience — for online students just as much as campus students. The Office of Student Involvement works hard to develop opportunities for you to participate, despite the distance. Here are just a few of the ways you can get involved.

Getting involved not only feeds your need to be part of a community but it’s a great way for you to “learn by doing” and gain new skills through experiential learning. While you may have opportunities for experiential learning built into your degree program, participating in activities based on your culture, career goals or other special interests can provide valuable, hands-on experience.

Graduation: Get the recognition you deserve

At SNHU, we truly believe that celebrating you, and everything you’ve achieved, is one of the most important parts of your academic journey. That's why we hold graduation ceremonies in person at the SNHU Arena near our picturesque campus in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Twice a year, online graduates travel by plane, car, bus and train to have their moment in the spotlight. It's also the perfect time to take a stroll across campus, snap a photo in front of the SNHU logo and visit the bookstore to pick up some alumni swag.

Can’t make it to New Hampshire? We still make sure you get the recognition you deserve at our virtual graduation ceremony — a 360-degree immersive experience for you and your family.
