Lobos from out of state spent the weekend getting settled into their new dorm rooms.
The University of New Mexico students now begin a two-week “self-monitoring” period during which they have to take their temperature twice a day, maximize social distancing and avoid shared spaces.
In-state students will join them in the dorms between Aug. 13 and 16.
UNM is planning for a hybrid fall semester in which some instruction will take place in person, but most teaching will happen remotely.
