Embracing parental and family involvement is a UNM value. Beyond the price of tuition, graduating a student from college requires the support and guidance of an entire family – your family.

We recognize that informed, involved parents contribute to student success. Whether you have a question about a specific department, student support service, deadline, or want to know more about what UNM has to offer, the Parent Relations Office is at your service. In addition, our UNM Parent Association is free and open to all UNM parents and family, providing a support network and opportunities for campus engagement.

Parent Association

The UNM Parent Association was officially founded March 12, 2008, when the Board of Regents signed a memorandum of understanding giving parents a role in university governance. Current Association President Maria Probasco gives a parent report at monthly regents meetings.
