You are officially a Resident Lobo! In this booklet you will find helpful information to make moving into your residence hall a smooth transition. Bring this guide with you to move in for easy reference.

B E F O R E YOU M OVE I N

First things first! There are a few helpful things you should do before you come to campus.

1. Contact your roommate. Get acquainted and decide who will be bringing what to avoid two of everything. Log into your housing dashboard for more information about your roommate.

2. Start getting involved! You don’t have to wait until you arrive to get to know us. Join us on Instagram, and Facebook at @UNMResLife to get to know Residence Life or to ask any questions about your new home.

3. Get your parking pass for the academic year online.

Parking passes will be available for purchase beginning Thursday, July 25th, 2024 at 7:30 am for residents. For more information visit pats.unm.edu.

4. You will need your UNM ID in order to check into your room. The Lobo Card Office will be at check-in to distribute Lobo ID’s. Bring a government issued ID to claim your Lobo Card.

SU S TA I NA BI LI TY / R EC YC LING Love Red, Live Green: How Lobos Recycle!

Move-in can generate a lot of trash! UNM strives to divert waste and reduce our environmental footprint through recycling cardboard and Styrofoam during move in.

On the following pages, the maps indicate where additional trash and blue recycling receptacles will be available. Help us reduce waste by disposing of trash and recycling in the proper bins.

Some tips!

• • • •

Empty boxes completely Flatten all cardboard before placing it in the designated cardboard bin Styrofoam acceptable is only rigid #6 PS (polystyrene) Bag all trash before placing it in the dumpster

Interested in Sustainability at UNM? Visit https://sustainability.unm.edu/

Look for the recycling icon on the maps!

LO B O R E C L A I M R E DUC E, R E U S E , R E CLAIM Started in 2016, Lobo Reclaim was created to minimize the number of usable items residents were throwing out during move-out and minimize the overall cost of move-in, by collecting, recycling and reselling student-donated items during move-in. Now, in its sixth year, Lobo Reclaim gives students the opportunity to buy gently used items at a huge discount instead of buying new. It keeps items with more life to live out of the trash and landfills. So don’t go out and buy new hangers or a shower caddy, buy from Lobo Reclaim and help the environment and your on-campus community.

AUGUST 15 - 16 (Residents Only) AUGUST 17 (Open to the public)

All You Can Carry - $1 One Filled Container - $5 This is a cash only event. *Some items priced as marked*

The Residence Hall Handbook has tons of useful information, including things like emergency preparedness and other important procedures. Be sure to read through your handbook and understand all the policies.

We have lots of activities planned for you once you get here. First, kick off your year with Res-Hall-A-Daze, a great UNM tradition full of fun events during the first two weeks of school, concluding with the Residence Hall Olympiad, where residence halls compete in field events for bragging rights. Keep up to date on all these events through our social media and flyers posted throughout the residence halls.

UNM Residence Life & Student Housing offers over 100 paid student positions! You could be a desk attendant, safety staff member and more! Check out unmjobs.unm.edu under student positions throughout the year.
