LoboAchieve Appointments Explained

If you are currently an active UNM student but not currently in one of our programs, you will need to click on the "Advising Offices" tab and "Search Advising Office" to manually search for "UCAC" (University College Advising Center).  Please only schedule with the appropriate advisor(s) listed above.  Also, please be as specific as possible in your meeting note so that we can best prepare to assist you.  

If you are a prospective or returning student without a current UNM NetID, you may also access LoboAchieve using the "non-UNM sign in" option and creating an account.  Please do not create an account if you have an existing/active UNM NetID, or have recently been accepted to UNM and just need to setup a NetID (which may be done via this link: https://netid.unm.edu/).  If you have an active NetID but have simply forgotten your password please see this link to reset: http://it.unm.edu/accounts/change-password.html
