Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are payable as indicated in the NMJC calendar published in the NMJC Catalog and NMJC Schedule of Classes. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice by the NMJC Board.
Tuition is charged according to a student’s residency status (tuition classification) and the number of hours enrolled. Some courses may require additional fees. Courses taken through distance learning require an additional fee.

Auditors and Senior Citizens
Students who audit courses (those who enroll in classes for no credit) pay the same tuition and fees as those students taking the classes for credit.
Institutional fees are waived for students who are 55 years of age and older. However, tuition is charged at the prevailing rate. Students must request the senior citizen discount at the time of registration or before by completing the Senior Citizen Discount Request Form, which is available online or at the Registrar’s Office.
Payment Policy
All amounts owed to the College are payable in full to the NMJC Business Office or through the FACTS online payment solution no later than the published or scheduled due dates. The following payment policy applies to all amounts including tuition and fees, housing, meal plans, bookstore charges, checks returned for insufficient funds, and charges for student violations or damages to NMJC property. A disenrollment date is set each semester on which students are disenrolled from all classes unless payment in full is received or a payment plan is set up through the FACTS online payment program.
Should a student have remaining charges after the disenrollment date, late registration, or have charges assessed during the semester, a final bill will be mailed to the student’s last known address demanding full payment of the balance. Failure to make satisfactory payment for the entire balance within ten (10) days of the final billing may result in the following:
- The student may be withdrawn from all classes.
- The student may be removed from college housing.
- The student’s transcript will be placed on “hold” status.
- Legal collection action may be initiated.
In the case of an “insufficient funds” check, the student must remit full payment of the check amount plus a $25 service charge. The failure of the student to make the payment shall result in possible prosecution as provided under the New Mexico Worthless Check Act.
FUTURE ENROLLMENT WILL BE DISALLOWED UNTIL ALL AMOUNTS OWED BY THE STUDENT ARE PAID IN FULL.
