Transfer Students Admissions Guidelines

Admission Requirements

The minimum requirement for admission to UNM is a "C" average (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) in all transferable college work attempted. Individual colleges or programs may require a higher average for acceptance of transfers. Check the UNM Catalog for specific requirements.

1. Completed application.
2. $20 non-refundable application fee.
3. Official transcripts from all colleges attended.

If you have fewer than 26 transferable hours, you are considered a transferring freshman. You must, therefore, submit high school credentials and also meet freshman admission requirements.
