The goal of Advising Transfer Day is to demystify the transfer process. This way when you do venture onto Main Campus, you have a contact and a safe place to ask questions and someone to turn to for information and resources.
The University of New Mexico-Taos is proud to host Advising Transfer Day this Thursday October 6th 2011 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. in the lobby of Padre Martinez Hall.
For this event, University of New Mexico Admissions Officers and Academic Advisors will visit the UNM-Taos Klauer Campus to answer your questions about transferring from UNM-Taos to UNM-Albuquerque. You will be provided with information about transition to Main Campus and the application of college credits toward a four-year baccalaureate degree.
Julie Bustamante and Cameron Langner from the College of Arts and Sciences will be on campus to help start the transfer process. They will look at your degree audit, talk about necessary curriculum, give you a brief overview of what resources are available to you, and help alleviate any unnecessary anxiety…all essential components of a successful transfer and tenure at UNM! Julie has 42 years of UNM experience and loves working with Branch students. Her energy and attention to detail make her the most knowledgeable resource on campus. Cameron has an extensive knowledge of admissions, financial aid regulations, and the struggles that transfer students face. As a UNM alum, she can give you the inside scoop on classes and the best places to study.
Mark Cramer will also be attending this event from the Admissions and Recruitment Offices of Main Campus will advise on how to apply and be admitted to Main Campus for the Spring 2012 semester. He will also waive the $20.00 application fee.
Michael Green, Transition Advisor from the Anderson School of Management will answer questions regarding pre-admission requirements for the Bachelors in Business Administrative Program. He will also be able to talk about the different concentrations available at the Anderson School.
Kyle Beenhouwer will be on site to represent University College. University College is a holding place for students who have not yet completed their prerequisites to get admitted into their degree college. Before students transfer to Main Campus, they should meet with Kyle in order to map out future course-work. Kyle will assist you in making the best curriculum decisions towards completing your academic goals.
Students interested in attending the event should bring transcripts from all post-secondary institutions they have attended in order to maximize their experience. If you are not ready to apply at this time, you are welcome to come and talk with an Academic Advisor, and explore how you may be able to build upon the college work you have already completed. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, October 6th!
