Academic Advisement CNM/UNM Advisement Team UNM Advisement CNM Advisement • Help you choose CNM courses based on • Course placement what UNM wants • Pre-requisite requirements • Admission requirements to your degree- • CNM degree requirements granting unit/program (if applicable) • Monitor your progression toward UNM • When? degree completion While you are taking courses at CNM • When? As soon as you consider a transfer to UNM! Your CNM/UNM Advisement Team will help you plan long term to make smart choices today! Visit early and often even if it’s not mandatory!
Academic Advisement UNM Advisement • Who is my advisor? – Undecided on a major? Go see a UCAC Advisor – Pre-Health Sciences Major? Go see your Degree- Granting Unit Advisor or a UCAC advisor. – All other majors: Meet with your Degree-Granting Unit Advisor • Is it mandatory? – Depends on policies of your Degree-Granting Unit/Degree Program • How do you know if it’s mandatory? – Holds! Check your LoboWeb account regularly for advisement holds and/or other holds. – However, we recommend you visit your advisor at least once per semester whether you have a hold or not.
Academic Advisement Common Components of a Bachelor Degree UNM requires that you earn a minimum of 120 credit hours to graduate! These aren’t just any 120 hours, so where are they coming from? • Major • Minor – Not all degree programs require a minor • UNM Core Curriculum • Upper-Division • Electives – Not all degree programs have room for “electives”
Academic Advisement UNM Core Curriculum Requires approximately 37 credit hours of courses in 7 areas of study. 1. Writing & Speaking (9 hrs) 2. Mathematics (3 hrs) 3. Physical & Natural Sciences (7 hours-two lectures, one lab) 4. Social & Behavioral Sciences (6 hrs) 5. Humanities (6 hrs) 6. Foreign Language (3 hrs, non-English language) 7. Fine Arts (3 hrs) Students must earn a C (not C-) or better in ALL Core Curriculum courses. All undergraduate degrees require completion of the UNM Core Curriculum. Certain degree plans have already chosen courses for you in the above areas. Please check with your UNM Degree-Granting Unit Advisor to be sure you are choosing core curriculum courses that are appropriate for your major.
Academic Advisement Upper-Division • 300 and 400 level courses • CNM does not offer upper-division courses, these MUST be done at UNM. • You will notice some courses transfer to UNM as equivalents to courses numbered at the 300 or 400 level. HOWEVER, they retain their lower division level! • Each degree program requires completion of a certain amount of upper-division. See your UNM academic advisor!
Academic Advisement “Electives” • Transferable vs. Applicable • Not all degree programs at UNM have room for open electives • Some “open” electives are restricted • When given the choice between either upper or lower division electives, sometimes upper division is a smarter choice • Can this “elective” fulfill more than one degree requirement if chosen carefully?
Academic Advisement Residency Requirements- Graduation UNM Minimum 30 hrs earned at UNM, 15 hrs of which must be earned after having accumulated 92 earned hrs College or School Varies Major 50% earned at UNM Minor 25% earned at UNM
