University of New Mexico students who failed to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a valid exemption were informed earlier this month that they’ve been disenrolled.

"As of Friday, which was November 5th, we had about 250-plus students who had not communicated with us and had received notifications of disenrollment," UNM spokesperson Cinnamon Blair said, according to KOAT.

Blair added that students facing disenrollment were sent biweekly messages urging them to comply before the university began sending messages on a daily basis.

UNM disenrolled at total of 256 students across five campuses in its system; however, Blair said the actual figure could be lowered with some students furnishing the required documentation, according to the ABC station.

At least 90% of UNM students have been inoculated against COVID-19.

According to the Associated Press, around 92% of students at UNM’s flagship campus in Albuquerque have been vaccinated while approximately 91% of students at other campuses within the system have received the shot.

Disenrolled students who have received financial aid aren’t required to return the funds, but Blair warned that their chances of being awarded aid in the future are slim at best.

 “That’s because they will not receive credit in the fall semester, and certain forms of financial aid require that a student demonstrate good standing and regular progress toward a degree,” the spokeswoman told the AP.

The state on Nov. 12 announced that all adults are eligible to receive the COVID-19 booster shot.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed an executive order, stating the state is still at the mercy of disease.

“As we have throughout this unpredictable and unprecedented global pandemic, we always stand ready to quickly implement new tools and policies in our fight against this terrible disease,” Lujan Grisham said, according to KOAT. “I strongly encourage every New Mexican to register for a booster today – we have appointments available and are ready to get shots in arms.”
