Application Steps
Thank you for taking the first step by finding us online! The admissions process is quite simple and you’ll have support every step of the way. Your Enrollment Coach will support your questions and help you navigate the online system. Here is an overview of the admissions process:
- Step 1: Connect with your Enrollment Coach
- Step 2: Complete your Application
Select the "Albuquerque Campus Applications" tab. Then select the appropriate application type - Undergraduate Application or Graduate Application. When selecting your intended field of study, make sure to select the online program. Graduate applications may also have additional requirements such as GRE/GMAT test scores and letters of recommendation. - Step 3: Request your prior college official transcripts for review
The application process includes submitting official transcripts. Transcripts must be sent directly to The University of New Mexico, either by your previous school's Registrar, or a third-party transcript service such as Parchments. Paper transcripts are mailed to The UNM Office of Admissions, PO Box 4895, Albuquerque, NM 87196-4895. Electronic transcripts are sent to apply@unm.edu.

Your Enrollment Coach will help you prepare for your advisement meeting to ensure you have all your questions answered AND will make the introduction to you so that you will have a seamless experience. - Step 6: Schedule your courses
You will be guided to the best courses to begin your program based on your degree plan and the courses available in the first 8-week session. - Step 7: Complete New Student Orientation (for undergraduate students only)
