In 1996, The University of New Mexico
piloted a new process to assist with
academic advisement. UNM invested in a
Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) that
was developed at Miami University of Ohio.
Based on this software, UNM developed
ePROGRESS – as of February 2010 the
degree audit team upgraded this system to
the Interactive Audit that is now –
LOBO Trax

LOBO Trax is the degree audit tool used for verification of:
University requirements: 128 hours, UNM Residency,
2.0 gpa, Engl 102, & the UNM core
College Requirements: any college requirements, upper
level hours, entry requirements, etc...
Degree Requirements: Degree program, minor, and any
2nd major/minor requirements. The report provides a
concise report that is used for advising as well as for
final certification
The LOBO Trax report provides students with current and
accurate transfer and UNM course information to
enhance their degree program planning. Students are
able to view their LOBO Trax reports at anytime through
LoboWeb
LOBO Trax does not just list
courses a student has
taken, but actually applies
the University rules to a
degree program. These
include, but are not limited
to:
 AOA (also offered as) courses
 Department restrictions; i.e.
Math, Chemistry, Biology, etc.
 Repeatable hours
 Duplicate courses and/or
credit
 LOBO
Trax is NOT a transcript. It is an internal
document that is not intended to report student
achievement to outside parties.
 LOBO
Trax does NOT replace written
information; such as the University catalog,
degree program fliers, and other handouts that
explain programs and their procedures.
 LOBOTrax
does NOT replace advising – the goal
is to help make advising a more meaningful
interaction between advisor and student.

The degree audit team is the main contact for Advisors, Colleges,
Departments, & students when they have questions or concerns
regarding the progress report.
The degree audit team updates all degree programs, and is
responsible for updating the different tables in DARwin/Banner
that are used by the University.
Currently, the degree audit team processes all academic
exceptions for all colleges, this includes exceptions to the UNM
Core, College Requirements, and Degree Programs.
LOBO Trax is used for graduation, by checking that pending
graduates have met all of the University requirements.
LOBO Trax Reports:
 Lists
the student’s current
degree program.
 Identifies completed
requirements & those that
are still outstanding.
 Shows where transfer work
will apply toward the
degree requirements.
 Takes the “guesswork” out
of selecting courses for
future registration.
