Academic Support
The Academic Support Center
The Academic Support Center (ASC) offers a range of services to supplement UNM–LA’s academic programs. ASC organizes and hosts homework/study groups, review sessions, and workshops, while offering additional course resources and various types of extra help and free tutoring (drop-in, by appointment, and online). Services cover a wide range of academic subjects, and special arrangements can be made for those subjects not currently covered. The ASC is located next to the Student Center, on the top floor of Building 2. For more information, tutor schedules, and access to online tutoring, visit the ASC homepage.
Bookstore
UNM–Los Alamos has partnered with MBS Direct, an online textbook vendor, to supply all required books for our programs. It is the student’s responsibility to order their own textbooks. The online vendor will make textbooks available for purchase six (6) weeks prior to the start of classes.
Required and optional books for Lower Division, and Community Education classes are listed. Students may purchase their textbooks using a credit card or can charge them to their UNM–LA student account by visiting the Cashier and obtaining a book voucher. Students may access MBS by clicking on the “Ordering Books” link on the UNM–LA web page or visiting https://bookstore.unm.edu.
Learning Resource Center
The Learning Resource Center, located in Building 7, houses the Library, Testing Center, Career Center, Adult Learning Center and workforce/business partnership offices. The newly-remodeled UNM–Los Alamos Library provides multiple state-of-the art collaborative spaces as well as individual study spaces, computing facilities, electronic and traditional research resources, wireless internet, printing, and qualified support staff. It is open to the public.
A loft, upstairs from the main floor of the library, is a pleasant, airy space, which houses a distinctive Southwest Collection and provides a quiet area for study and instruction. The library team is friendly, knowledgeable, and very dedicated to helping library patrons with their information needs.
Changing art and book exhibits in the library contribute to an aesthetically pleasing environment for all library visitors. For more information, visit the library website.
