Course Sunsetting Process

This process identifies courses that have not recorded enrollment for the past 8 consecutive Fall and Spring semesters. These courses are slated to be placed into "Sunset" status in Banner by the end of this semester. Sunsetted courses are removed from the next publication of the UNM Catalog and are no longer available for scheduling.

Affected Departments, Programs, and Branches are required to confirm Sunset on these courses, or request an alternate status ("Deactivated", "Sunset Exception") be applied. If a Sunset Form is not submitted, courses will be automatically retired. Department chairs and College Deans will be notified of Sunset form deadlines via email at the start of the Fall and Spring term each year.

Effective Fall 2023, Sunset forms requests are managed through the Sunset App. To submit Sunset forms, log in to the Sunset App with your UNM netID and password and follow the appropriate instruction set below:

Advance Notice List

The Advance Notice List is for preview and planning purposes only, departments cannot submit an exception request for these courses until the following term.

The Sunset Advance Notice list identifies courses that are scheduled for Sunsetting in the next term. These courses are expected to appear on the next semester's Sunset List if they do not receive enrollment for an 8th consecutive semester. The preview list for the following term is in the Sunset Forms Shared Folder.

Note: some lower-division Undergraduate courses may be identified by a Main Campus College code, but are only offered at a Branch Campus.
