Transfer Credit Requirements
Students transferring to UNM receive full credit for course
work completed with a minimum grade of "C" from
regionally accredited institutions provided UNM has equivalent
programs of study. (Transferable courses with grades of "D"
from New Mexico institutions are accepted.) UNM does not accept
classes that are technical/vocational or remedial in nature,
or are dogmatic religion courses. The University also does
not award credit for work or life experience, or credit earned
through a cooperative education program. UNM operates on a
semester credit calendar. Therefore, classes from quarter
system institutions will be recalculated to semester hours
(one quarter hour = .66 semester hour).
Evaluation of Credit
The evaluation of your transfer credit is part of the admission
application procedure. It is a two-step process:
- An Admissions Officer will evaluate your credits on a
course-by-course basis to determine general transferability
to the University. A transfer credit evaluation (TCE) is
then produced and mailed to you.
- You may also view your TCE online through LoboWeb.
Your college advisor will determine how your transferred credits
will apply toward your stated degree program.
Applications and Fees
Applications and fees are applicable for four consecutive
semesters. If you do not register for the semester requested
on your application and wish to postpone enrollment to a future
semester, you must notify the Office of Admissions.
If you do not enroll within that time period, a new application
and fee are required.
Social Security Numbers
Your Social Security Number will not be the primary University
identification number. It will not appear on your UNM Lobo indentification
card. UNM is required to collect your SSN in order to provide full access
to services such as financial aid, to ensure an accurate academic record,
and for record-keeping purposes. The University will protect the confidentiality
of your SSN as required by law. If you are unable to provide a Social Security
Number, the University will assign an alternative number to you. This will not
impact the admission decision.
