Registration for the MPH Program

Upon acceptance into the program, you will receive registration materials from the Registrar’s Office. If you do not receive materials, you should contact the Registrar’s office to make sure that you have been properly admitted and that your address is correct. You may also ask the Program Manager for verification that all your paperwork has been approved.

Registration Process

Registration for courses in the Masters in Public Health Program is done utilizing the normal University Procedures. Students may register using the I-Tel UNM System by dialing 246-2020 and following the instructions. In addition, students may register online. Instructions are provided on the UNM Home Page for registration using this method.

Schedules and Call Numbers

Students will receive a regular course schedule from the University of New Mexico. This course schedule may or may not contain all call numbers for registration. Some courses are restricted and call numbers are not available to students outside the MPH Program.

Each semester, a schedule is prepared by the Program Manager and distributed to all admitted students. Call numbers for restricted courses will be listed in this schedule. Restricted courses include courses such as the Theory and Practice Seminar, Independent Study, Professional Paper, or other courses that may have a restriction placed on them by faculty teaching the course.

In the event of a discrepancy in call numbers between the University schedule and the MPH Program schedule, please use the information in the Program schedule. Due to last minute changes or additions, the MPH Program schedule is generally more accurate. If you still have questions or are confused please contact Gayle Garcia at 272-3982.
