Conditional UNM Admission
- Conditional UNM Admission is for students interested in earning an UNDERGRADUATE degree at UNM after finishing CELAC (not available for graduate students). Conditional UNM Admission requires you to complete the UNM undergraduate application at the same time as the CELAC application. If accepted for Conditional UNM Admission, you will be sent a one-year I-20 form from CELAC and a conditional acceptance letter from the UNM Admissions Office. You can begin your academic studies only after attaining the required UNM English proficiency level. At that time, you will be issued a new academic I-20 from UNM for five years.
- Please note that this application process takes more time and has an earlier deadline.
