University of Albuquerque

The University of Albuquerque was a Catholic university in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which closed in 1986. Its former campus on Albuquerque's westside now houses St. Pius X High School, a Catholic high school. The athletic team is the Redhawks.

The university was formed in 1966 as the successor of the College of St. Joseph on the Rio Grande by the Sisters of St. Francis. The campus sits atop a bluff overlooking the adjacent Rio Grande below and Albuquerque to the east. Also used in the Disney Channel Movies High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

Student records and transcripts are being housed in and can be retrieved from the University of New Mexico. See University of New Mexico.
