Once you have your UNM NetID, you will be able to log in to the NSO Reservation Portal. Some of your information will be automatically populated for you. Please confirm the pre-populated information and answer any questions that are asked. Below is an overview of the different sections.

• Demographic Information
  • This is used for pre-orientation contact
• Questionnaire
  • Please confirm your major or select a new one (this step is important for advisement)
    • If you're unsure about your major, that's perfectly fine - we have academic advisors who are trained to assist you. Please select 'Undecided' if you're exploring a major.
  • Please share any requests for accommodations so we can ensure those are provided during your orientation. 
• Dates
  • Based on your admission status, you will be able to see all dates available to you. If a date is not showing up, that date is at full capacity. 

• Submit Payment 
  • Your spot will not be reserved if you do not submit a payment. Select 'Pay Now' and select which option you want to use to pay and solidify your reservation. 
    
    • Debit or Credit Card Payment: You can pay immediately with a Debit or Credit Card. Please note: that the charge will appear on the credit card statement as "UNM NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION"
    • Charge My Student Account: You can also pay your orientation fee at a later date by having the fee charged to your student account. This method allows scholarships, grants, and student loans to cover the charge when those funds come in. Please note: The charge "CEP New Student Orientation" will appear on your UNM Bursar Account after you complete orientation. 

After you successfully sign-up for orientation you will receive a confirmation email sent to the email you entered in the reservation portal. Be sure to check any spam/junk folders in case your email system categorized this correspondence incorrectly.
