How to send scores

Not stated on the school’s site

UNH asks enrolled students for any test results (for research); its pages do not say how to submit scores for the application.

School’s words: “If you took a standardized test, you will be required to submit your test results after you enroll strictly for university research purposes, regardless of whether you opted in or out of our test-optional policy.”
