Advising Hold
UNM-Los Alamos provides mandatory advising for degree-seeking students. If you are a degree-seeking student, you must meet with and academic advisor before you can register.
New non-degree students should not have an advising hold on their account until you have accumulated more than 30 credit hours in non-degree status. Please contact Student Services to inquire about releasing the hold.
Academic advisors are available to ALL students regardless of their enrollment status to help with course selection, academic career questions, and transfer information.
Bursar Hold
Your student account from previous semesters must be paid in full before you are allowed to register or request transcripts. For more information or questions, contact the Cashier at 505-663-3416.
The Enrollment Cancellation deadline is a date set by UNM, and prescribed by state statute, by which a student must make a financial commitment by accepting financial responsibility for current term charges and paying their entire prior semester balance or be dropped from their current term courses.
Students who fail to pay their full tuition and fee charges by 5:00 p.m. on the disenrollment date for each semester will have their registration canceled and be removed from all courses. In order to avoid cancellation, students must pay tuition charges in full, or make adequate financial arrangements with the UNM Los Alamos Cashier. Payment plans may also be set up on LoboWeb. Students with canceled registration who wish to be enrolled at UNM-Los Alamos must re-register.
The student will then be required to make full payment or must complete financial arrangements for all university charges. A non-refundable $30 late registration fee will be charged. It will be the student’s responsibility to monitor their payment balance on LoboWeb or with the UNM-Los Alamos Cashier. LoboWeb provides 24-hour access to financial accounts. Please review the drop or withdraw deadlines in the UNM-Los Alamos academic calendar.
Students can view their Enrollment Cancellation Balance over LoboWeb, in the Registration & Records menu. Payment of this balance must be received by the Cashier Department by 5:00 PM on the stated deadline. Payment options are available. Failure to make the required payment will result in the student being dropped from all their current semester courses.
Please note that students registering after the Enrollment Cancellation deadline who do not drop by published refund deadline will be responsible for payment of all tuition and fees. Student Accounting generates bursar account billing statements, answers account inquiries from students, staff and retirees, and processes financial aid refunds.
- The tuition payment deadline (Enrollment Cancellation) will now take place TWO WEEKS into the semester.
- To avoid cancellation, your balance must be equal to or less than $650.00 and a minimum $100.00 payment must be made.
- Check your Enrollment Cancellation Balance over LoboWeb in the Registration & Records menu and watch for our emails during the first two weeks of the semester.
- You will incur service charges and a Bursar Hold will be placed on your account if you do not pay your billed balance by the bill due date or set up a payment plan.
- If you are not planning to attend UNM-LA, you must drop your courses by the published refund deadlines or you will be responsible for 100% of your tuition and fees charges.
