How do I opt out or switch between the Course Materials Complete and Course Materials Select options?

Prior to the Add/Drop Deadline for your course (see the How to Determine Your Course's Add/Drop Deadline section below for determining your course’s deadline), you may opt out or switch between the Complete and Select plans. “Opt Out” means you remain registered in the course, but you choose to either get by without course materials, or you obtain your materials in some other fashion. Opt-out decisions can be made and reversed until 11:59 PM on the day of the deadline.

NOTE: For questions about billing and opting out, please email coursematerialsaccess@unm.edu. Please provide your name, student ID number, and your course information (department, course number, section number) as well as an explanation of your situation or question.

How to Determine Your Course's Add/Drop Deadline:

The Add/Drop deadline equals the “Last day to DROP without ‘W’ grade and 100% tuition refund on LoboWeb” according to the UNM Registrar’s office. To find the specific date each semester, visit the Office of the Registrar website, click on “Semester Deadline Dates” in the left margin, then select your term. Look for the date corresponding to the label “Last day to DROP without ‘W’ grade and 100% tuition refund on LoboWeb”.
