Program Dates and Costs
Most students from North American colleges and universities will be able to transfer their existing financial aid arrangements to the program. Academic credits earned through the University of New Hampshire are transferable to home institutions in most cases. Please contact the EcoQuest Admissions Director at eco.quest@unh.edu or submit a request online with any further questions concerning financial aid and academic credit transfer.
Impact of COVID-19
The New Zealand government has begun a staged reopening of borders to international visitors. There will be a cohort of 5,000 international students allowed to enter in time for (US) Fall 2022 semester studies. We are very hopeful that EcoQuest Fall 22 students will be among them. At this stage, there is no requirement for fully vaccinated visitors who have a negative test to isolate or quarantine on entry.
