First-time login and Alumni ID Numbers
Why do I need my Alumni ID to create an account?
We ask that our alums provide their Alumni ID number, and not other personal identifying information, for security purposes because your data is important to us! Read our Data Policy.
Where can I find my Alumni ID?
You can find your Alumni ID number on the back cover of your Mirage Magazine, in The Howler, or on Mini Diplomas created after June 2017. If you cannot find your Alumni ID number, please complete ourAlumni ID Request Form and our office will contact you within 72 hours of your request.

Passwords
How do I change my password to the community?
Follow the password reset link to change your password. To change your password, you will have to enter the e-mail address you used when registering your account and an email will be sent to you with a link to reset your password. If you receive a message indicating your e-mail address can't be found, this means the system has a different e-mail address associated with your account. It's possible you used a different e-mail address when registering and your account information is not up-to-date. If you have forgotten the email address associated with your account, contact us for assistance.
What if I forgot my password?
You can reset your password using your preferred UNM email address. If you have forgotten the email address associated with your account, contact us for assistance.
