Announcement
New effort certification program coming!
The University of New Mexico is moving from Banner’s Effort Certification program to Huron’s Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC) program. No longer will we need to certify every employee who works on a restricted index, but we will be certifying by fund/index reducing the certifications required. Go live for our first certification period is expected February 28, 2026. For more information, check out our Effort Certification page.

Building Access Control Update:
In order to support a safe and secure campus environment for our Lobo community, UNM’s John and June Perovich Business Center located at Lomas and University has building access control for both the main building and the HR Service Center. All UNM students, faculty, staff, retirees, and affiliates who have a UNM Lobo ID card with proximity privileges will use their UNM Lobo ID card to gain access to the building during normal business hours. Those who do not have a UNM Lobo ID with proximity privileges will still be able to gain access to the building by using the air phone located outside the building.
