To investigate transfer credit articulations from non-UNM institutions, please use UNM's Transfer Equivalency System (TES) tool. 

  1. Click on the "TRANSFER EQUIVALENCIES" button (you will be redirected to a new page).
  2. In the "INSTITUTION SEARCH" window, enter the name of the school you are transferring from (e.g., Tohono O'odham Community College).
  3. Find and click the title of the institution

The system will provide you with information about how your transfer credits will be articulated at the University of New Mexico. For example, AIS 102 - American Indian Issues I from Haskell Indian Nations University transfers to UNM as NATV 1150 - Introduction to Native American Studies.
