UNM students now have access to LoboWeb to browse the new online Schedule of Classes. They will begin using more of the University’s newest technology when they register for fall classes starting in mid-April.
LoboWeb for Students is one part of the STAC (Student and Academic) Project, and went live on April 3. More services will be available on LoboWeb, including pre-registration for Fall 2006 classes. Students planning to attend summer classes will register with the present system through I-TEL-UNM. Students planning to register for fall classes will use the new processes, LoboWeb or LoboPhone (telephone).
General information about and links related to registration is available at countdown.unm.edu. Students should check this site every few days for updates.
The UNM portal, http://my.unm.edu, provides students with a single place to register for summer or fall classes or both, although the process for these two terms will be different.
Both registration processes are available from the Portal’s Student Life tab at my.unm.edu. Self-help (FastInfo, written instructions, etc.) will be available for the new process for fall registration.
Students who have not used the UNM portal or taken a WebCT-based class, need to ensure they have a Net ID and password to access the portal. See countdown.unm.edu for more information.
What's Changed?
Some of the major changes:
· LoboWeb uses the word “term” instead of “semester.”
· LoboWeb will not allow registration for class times that “overlap.”
· LoboWeb will not allow students to register for more than one section of the same course.
· LoboWeb will “enforce” pre-requisites for all 100- and 200-level courses and selected upper-level courses.
· LoboWeb will enforce co-requisites for all courses.
· Class searches by criteria such as campus, subject, time-of-day, etc., will be available.
· LoboWeb has information for all UNM campuses, online, and Extended University.
When the implementation is complete, students will be able to use LoboWeb for much of their secure UNM business such as, viewing their individual class schedules, searching course descriptions, viewing registration status, and holds.
In the future, students will be able to make online payments, check their Bursar accounts, check their grades, and conduct degree audits via the secure self-service modules.
UNM faculty and staff advisors involved in class registration activities who do not already have a UNM NetID will need one to access some business functions. For faculty, this includes viewing class lists, class calendars, active teaching assignments, and submitting Fall 2006 grades. Advisors need NetIDs to view and update student information and perform degree audits.
Information about LoboWeb is updated regularly at countdown.unm.edu.
