UNM orientation makes a ‘Family Connection’
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Lobo Orientation is a mandatory two‐day program for all freshmen students, including transfer freshmen with 26 or fewer credits. Incoming fall 2009 freshmen can sign up for Lobo Orientation beginning March 31. It is recommended that students register for the earliest orientation session that they can attend.
We encourage the family members of students attending Lobo Orientation to participate in the Family Connection Program, which runs concurrently with each orientation session and is designed for parents, grandparents, guardians, and other family of incoming freshmen. 100% of last year’s parent participants recommended the program to other parents.
During Lobo Orientation students will:
– Find out about UNM services and resources
– Learn about campus life from current UNM students
– Meet with an advisor
– Put together a class schedule
– Register for classes
– Find out about living on, or commuting to campus and parking
– Meet other new students
For transfer students with more credits, or non‐traditional students, UNM offers TNT Orientation. Transfer and non‐traditional students can register for Transfer Day (April 18, 2009) right now. Registration for other TNT sessions will open on March 31.
