Phone Calls and Visitors

Please inform family and friends that UNM-Valencia policy states that students are not called from class to receive telephone calls or visitors.

Visitors on the campus are considered welcome guests of the university. However, visitors are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not disrupt the educational mission of the campus, hinder the campus community, interfere with the rights of others to the pursuit of their education, or otherwise affect adversely the processes of the University. Inappropriate behavior may result in a visitor’s removal from the campus grounds.

Students are ultimately responsible for the behavior of visitors who accompany them to campus. Care should be taken about whom a student invites into the campus community.
