Additional Information
- Payments made for interns by universities other than UNM are payable via credit/debit/p-card and are due upon receipt of invoice in order to reserve a room. Because universities can take a longer time to make payments, we recommend you arrange for your university to reimburse you directly for your housing charges so you can make a timely payment and reserve your room.
- All mail and packages must be addressed to your assigned SRC mailbox. No mail or packages received through a mail service can be delivered to your residence hall.
