NetID
Your UNM NetID and Password are your keys to access many of UNM's online services, including myUNM and LoboMail, as well as on-campus computer systems. All UNM students, faculty and staff (as well as some affiliates) are eligible for UNM NetID.
Your UNM NetID will allow you to access any of these online services:
Network Access
Lobo-Guest - Offers limited network and Web access and is intended for visitors to UNM and others without a UNMNetID and password.
Lobo-Wifi - Offers full network access and is available for all users with a valid UNM NetID and password. Please note that use of this SSID requires a one-time client "key" for Windows and Macintosh users.
You can connect to either of these networks while on Campus through your device's WiFi connection settings.

Research Computing Support
From Research Compliance to library support from subject area specialists , and research data services or UNM network and server infrastructure, we have systems in place to speed up your research projects. A great place to get started is the Research IT portal.
Information Security & Privacy Office (ISPO)
Phishing
Phishing is a message-based attack used by cyber criminals to trick you into providing sensitive information or taking an action such as clicking on a malicious link, opening an infected attachment, or responding to a scam. You can report phishing emails to UNM's Information Security and Privacy Office.
Phish Bowl
The ISPO hosts a list of verified phishing emails that have been sent to UNM email addresses. This list is called the Phish Bowl.
Junk Email
The ISPO also offers information on reporting messages as junk.
Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC)
The UNM Center for Advanced Research Computing is the hub of computational research at UNM and one of the largest computing centers in the State of New Mexico. It is an interdisciplinary community that uses computational resources to create new research insights. The goal is to lead and grow the computational research community at UNM.
CARC provides not just the computing resources but also the expertise and support to help the university’s researchers. This service is available to student, faculty, and staff researchers free of charge through support from the UNM Office of the Vice President for Research.
Office of Vice President for Research
The mission of the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) is to advance innovation and discovery. The core of this mission is the research, scholarship, and creative works of UNM faculty. The OVPR seeks to facilitate these activities, resulting in new knowledge and applications of value to academic communities and the public.
LoboCloud
Virtual machines are available from UNM IT through a service called LoboCloud. Virtual Machines can help departments or individuals manage their software without needing to maintain the underlying operating system, hardware and infrastructure. This allows departments to focus their staff's efforts towards their specialty while offloading the cost of day-to-day infrastructure maintenance to IT.
