CNM/UNM Advisement Team

CNM Advisement

• Course placement
• Pre-requisite requirements
• CNM degree requirements

(if applicable)

• When?

While you are taking courses at CNM

Academic Advisement

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!

UNM Advisement

• Help you choose CNM courses based on

what UNM wants

• Admission requirements to your degree-

granting unit/program

• Monitor your progression toward UNM

degree completion

• When?

As soon as you consider a transfer to UNM!

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

• nce per semester whether you have a hold or not.

Academic Advisement

Common Components of a Bachelor Degree

• 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 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?

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”

Academic Advisement

• 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?

Residency Requirements- Graduation

 UNM Minimum 30 hrs earned at UNM, 15 hrs

• f which must be earned after having

accumulated 92 earned hrs  College or School Varies  Major 50% earned at UNM  Minor 25% earned at UNM

TRANSFERABLE CREDIT HOURS

• Transfer Evaluation System (T.E.S.)
• CNM courses numbered below 1000 are NOT transferable, but might be

used to place you in courses at UNM.

• Technical, vocational, CTE (Career Technical Education) courses have

limited transferability and limited applicability toward degrees.

• REMEMBER, just because a course is “transferable” to UNM DOES NOT

necessarily mean that it will apply toward your degree or help you progress toward graduation. See your degree granting unit advisor!
