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 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.
• Fall 2014 financial aid can only pay up to $200 of a prior semester balance.
• 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.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENT

I understand that my student account balance is my responsibility.  By enrolling in courses at the University of New Mexico (UNM), I am making a financial commitment to pay the tuition and fee charges associated with this enrollment.  I further understand that tuition, fees any other charges to my account (including but not limited to housing, meal plans, bookstore charges, parking permits and citations and  health center charges) reflects a balance I owe for educational benefit and constitutes an educational loan that may not be dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523 (a)(8).

I understand that, as a current student, billing information will be communicated to me through my UNM e-mail account and/or other email accounts I have added to the UNM Bursar Account Suite accessed through myUNM and LoboWeb.  I also understand that my payment obligation is binding whether or not I access my electronic statement (ebill), and whether my account is being paid by me or by another person.  In the event I stop attending UNM, paper statements will be mailed for any balance due.  It is my responsibility to maintain a current postal address to ensure receipt of UNM correspondence.

The monthly statement will indicate amount due and due date.  I understand that if my balance due is not paid by the due date, I will incur service charges of 1.2% on the past-due balance and a Bursar Past-Due hold will be placed on my account automatically.  This hold will prevent registration and transcript activity until the past-due balance has been paid in full.  I understand that if my account becomes delinquent, I will not be allowed to register for any future semester(s).

In the event I am able to register for future semester(s) because my current semester charges are not past-due, I understand that these current-term charges must be paid prior to the start date of any future semester(s) to prevent disenrollment from those future semester(s). 

I understand that all prior semester charges must be paid by the Enrollment Cancellation deadline for any future semester to prevent being dropped from all courses for that future semester.  I understand that I will receive email notification from the Bursar’s Office if I am scheduled for cancellation and will monitor my UNM email account daily the week of Enrollment Cancellation.

I understand that failure to attend classes does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal.  If I decide not to attend some or all of my courses at UNM, I must drop or withdraw by the appropriate deadline date(s) to receive a tuition refund.  If I fail to drop by these deadlines, I understand that I will be charged for non-dropped courses.

If internal collection efforts have failed, my account may be sent to a collection agency and may be reported to one or more credit bureau reporting service(s).  I agree to reimburse UNM the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees UNM may incur in such collection efforts.

I authorize UNM and its respective agent(s) and contractors to contact me regarding my educational loan and/or my student account at the current or any future telephone number either provided or acquired for my cellular phone or other wireless device using automated telephone dialing equipment or artificial pre-recorded voice or text messages.

Students will have to log in to LoboWeb to pay tuition with a credit or debit card. Checks will still be accepted when mailed to  4000 University Drive, Los Alamos, NM, 87544. Anyone wanting to pay COMPASS Test Fees, Enrollment Authorization Fees, or Transcript Fees with credit card must use the UNM-Los Alamos MarketPlace link on the UNM-LA homepage.

Students with financial aid: See the Financial Aid Coordinator

Service Charge: A service charge of 1.2% per month will be billed to all unpaid student accounts beginning one month after registration. Payments made to a student account with a credit or debit card will be assessed a 2.95% fee.

Tuition Installment Plan

Payment of tuition and fees may be deferred under the University’s Installment Plan, which requires a down payment and payment of a non-refundable set up fee. See LoboWeb-Make payments to set up a plan.

Third Party

If tuition, fees or books are being paid by a third party, the Cashier's Office must be in receipt of the student's approved billing authorization letter or award. To avoid late fees or disenrollment for non-payment, the authorization must be provided prior to enrollment cancellation.

Financial Responsibility

Not receiving a bill or statement of account from UNM Los Alamos does not relieve financial responsibility. It is the student's responsibility to monitor their payment balances either on LoboWeb or with the UNM-LA cashier. LoboWeb provides 24-hour access to financial accounts. View the Terms and Conditions of Financial Responsibility Agreement above.
