General Registration For Spring 2024:
If you have been accepted to The University of New Mexico, you are eligible to apply for the 2023-2024 License Agreement. If you do not see the 23/24 License Agreement on your Residence Dashboard, please email: Assignments@unm.edu and request that it be placed on your dashboard.
Please note that housing is still fairly limited and some selections may be unavailable.
For Fall 2023, we have limited availability in Residence Life & Student Housing. We are committed to working diligently to provide students a housing assignment and encourage students who need housing to continue to sign-up. We will implement the following measures to provide housing to actively enrolled students:
We have implemented a waitlist and Tiered Prioritization. Please see the following information below.
RLSH will be implementing a four-tier waitlist.
- Tier 1—Required Freshmen: First-year students identified as required to live on-campus under the Freshman Residency Requirement
- Tier 2—Non-Required Freshman, Incoming International Students, Incoming Transfers: Persons who are new to UNM who are not required to live on-campus
- Tier 3—Enrolled Upperclassmen & Graduate Students
- Tier 4—Non-Enrolled Upperclassmen & Graduate Students
Enrollment Checks
- Currently assigned residents will be subject to weekly enrollment checks. Students will receive further communication via UNM email address if found to be ineligible for housing based on hours enrolled.
Housing availability is very limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who are subject to the Freshman Residency Requirement will be prioritized to meet the FRR.

These rooms are typically reserved for returning residents as well as ADA accessibility needs. Therefore, a very limited number of singles are available for freshmen.
