NTSW 2025 - Current Students
October 20-24, 2025
The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students (NISTS) describes National Transfer Student Week as a time to "celebrate transfer students and the professionals who support them on their journey." https://www.nists.org/national-transfer-student-week
We’re excited to celebrate our transfer students—those joining UNM Albuquerque from other colleges and universities—and our branch transition students—those continuing their journey from another UNM campus—along with the staff and faculty who champion their success. During the week of October 20–24, we’ll be hosting events and activities designed to honor your achievements, support your growth, and help you thrive as part of the UNM community.
