Class Cancelaion

UNM-Taos reserves the right to cancel any course subject to budgetary requirements, enrollment figures, or availability of instructors. Decisions regarding the cancellation of specific classes will be made at the close of each registration period. Because the major determining factor for cancellations is enrollment, it is most important that students register during the scheduled registration period.

Transcript Requests

There is a $3.00 fee for each official transcript to be sent to other collegiate institutions, state departments of education, employers, or prospective employers. The fee is $10.00 if the student wishes to have the transcript processed within 24 hours. There is no fee for unofficial transcripts. Transcripts of record may not be issued until all financial obligations to the University have been satisfied.

Graduation

The student is responsible for monitoring his/her individual progress towards graduation. For this purpose, curriculum checklists are available from UNM-Taos Academic Advisors for the various associate degree programs. A Request for Degree Requirements Graduation Review should be submitted by each student to the Registrar upon the completion of at least 40 credit hours towards an associate degree, or 20 credit hours towards a certificate. One semester before the semester in which a student expects to graduate, a student must petition to graduate by completing an Official Graduation Petition and submitting it to the Registrar at UNM-Taos. The graduation fee is $10.00.

Class Hours and Credit Hours
