We are pleased that you are considering the University
of New Mexico for graduate study.
The following information should be useful to you as you
prepare your application packet. Please note that some
application materials are to be sent to the Office of
Graduate Studies and other materials are sent directly
to
the department to which you are applying. Additionally,
an
application received after University or
department/program deadlines will be processed for the
following semester if the department accepts
applications
each semester. If the department admits once a year,
applicants must update their materials in writing and
submit them to the appropriate office.
Send these materials to the Office of Graduate Studies:
Two official transcripts from EACH academic institution
you have attended: (With the exception of the University
of New Mexico.) Do not assume that any transcript is
irrelevant to your proposed program of study. If you are
currently enrolled in a school, send the transcripts as
they are at present and re-submit transcripts once
current
grades are posted. It is preferred that the institution
send the transcripts directly to the Office of Graduate
Studies. If you have the transcripts sent directly to
you,
DO NOT OPEN THE TRANSCRIPT ENVELOPES. Those that have
been
opened or tampered with will be considered unofficial
and
will delay the admissions process.
Please order your transcripts early, so that you do not
miss the departmental deadline!
Send these to the Department to which you are applying:
1. A Letter of Intent: This is your opportunity to tell
the program faculty about yourself. It need not be
extremely detailed, but should provide information about
your areas of interest, previous experience, and goals.
The graduate program to which you are applying can
provide
more information on its expectations.
2. A minimum of three letters of recommendation are also
required as part of an application. You are responsible
for completing the blanks at the top of each letter of
recommendation (name, program, etc.). The persons who
recommended you may choose to return the sealed
recommendations to you or directly to the department to
which you are applying. Letters that are being directly
submitted should be mailed to the graduate program to
which you are applying not to the Office of Graduate
Studies. It is important that you provide to each person
providing a recommendation a stamped envelope addressed
to
the department to which you are applying. This
information
ensures that all materials related to your application
are
easily identifiable.
3. Some graduate programs require additional materials,
such as GRE scores, slide portfolios, writing samples,
tapes, etc. Check with the program for specific
requirements.
Applicant Information: Indicate your full legal name, and also any other names
you use. If you do not have a
social security number, please request one from your nearest Social Security
Office; this will also serve as your
student number.
Residency Section: This is used to determine residency for tuition purposes.
ALL applicants are required to
complete this section, whether seeking in-state residency or not. Military
personnel should request an Active
Duty Military Tuition Residence form from the Office of Graduate Studies to be
considered for Active Duty
Military Tuition.
PAYMENT INFORMATION:
The required non-refundable application processing fee is $40.00.
If applying for more than one program, a separate application and processing
fee are required. The fee must be paid online for successful submission of the online application.
If you have any questions about the application procedure, please contact the Office of Graduate Studies. Our e-mail
address is grad@unm.edu.
