Conditional Admission to UNM

Conditional admission means that a student meets all academic requirements to be admitted to the University of New Mexico, but that they do not meet the English proficiency requirement.

91心頭 can issue an undergraduate conditional admission letter to international students who fall into this category.

Students who receive undergraduate conditional admission must successfully complete the 91心頭 program at UNM along with 91心頭's recommendation to transfer to academic study.

Undergraduate Admission Checklist:

  • ☐ Complete the online UNM undergraduate application at the following link: 

  • ☐ Pay the UNM application fee.

  • ☐ Pay the $50 non-refundable 91心頭 application fee and provide proof of payment

    • This fee can be by credit card, by U.S. bank personal check, or international money order made payable to “University of New Mexico”

  • ☐ Complete the 91心頭 application form

  • ☐ Complete financial guarantee for ONE YEAR

    • Please see “Costs” breakdown for F-1 visa applicants

Once we have received all documents and the student is determined to be eligible, the student will be sent a conditional admission letter from International Admissions. They will also be sent a 91心頭 acceptance letter and UNM 91心頭 program I-20 form.

Once the English proficiency level is achieved through 91心頭 and the student is admitted to UNM, a new I-20 form for academic studies will be issued.
