If you have requested your scores sent to UNM, the Office of Admissions will receive an electronic copy within two weeks after you have taken the test and the scores will be entered into your file in the UNM Student database. This is approximately the same time you receive a copy of the results in the mail. If you did not request the results sent to UNM, you are responsible to supply a copy to the department you are seeking admission. It is very important to keep a personal copy of the results in a safe place for future reference.
