Each student at UNM must have a NetID. The NetID is used with a password when you access numerous UNM online services. You need to get your NetID before you attend orientation. You will use it to:
- Register for classes
- Check your financial aid
- Buy a parking permit
- Create a UNM email account
- Take part in your classes’ online features
- And many other things!
Create a UNM NetID before attending Orientation
Visit my.unm.edu and click on "create a UNM NetID" in the left column of the screen. Please memorize your NetID and password!
You must be admitted to UNM before you can get a NetID.
When you create a NetID, a UNM email account is automatically created for you in this format: <your netid>@unm.edu.
Remember, your UNM email account will be used by your professors and various UNM departments to send you important academic information, so please choose a professional sounding NetID.
For more detailed information on the NetID, go to Fast Info and Type "NetID" in the Search box. Or visit the Net ID information page.
If you have any problems, please contact Computer Accounts at (505) 277-8130 or 277-8131.
Using NetID to register for classes
It will take 24 hours for your new NetID to become active so you can use it. That means you should create your NetID at least a day before you plan to register for classes.
