Be sure to submit and log off your online admissions application. Please allow up to two (2) business days for processing from the date of submission online.
High school students, who took dual credit classes at NMJC, must complete a new application as First Time Freshman, after high school graduation before taking additional classes.
Returning students that have not been enrolled in 2 years must complete a new application for admission.
If you have graduated high school within the last 3 years and have a cumulative GPA score of 2.7 you will not need to take the Accuplacer Test. High school grades in mathematics and English will be used to place you in the corresponding math and English class.
If you do not meet the above requirement, you will need scores in reading, English, and mathematics to determine your skill level and needs. For more information regarding the Accuplacer contact our Testing Center (575) 492-2591.
If you have completed the Accuplacer, ACT, or SAT at another college or entity, you may send your assessment results to NMJC’s Registrar's Office, asknmjc@nmjc.edu, to use those scores as placement data. These results must be received prior to registering for classes.
An academic advisor will help you develop your educational plan, and answer specific questions and concerns about your educational goals. You can visit the advising page to find more information on NMJC's advisors and contact information.
There are two ways to register:
- You can register online through the T-BirdWeb Portal. You will need to go through the First Time User process if you haven't already. You can find some tips on the registration process here.
- You can also visit with an advisor or counselor in the Ben Alexander Student Learning Center. We have virtual appointments available.
- You can pay tuition in full in person at the cashier's office by credit card, check or cash.
- Enroll in the NelNet Payment Plan ($25 registration fee required), and set up your deferred payment schedule. You must enroll in Nelnet within 48 hours of registration.
- Have financial aid in place, and pay the balance (if applicable) either in full or through a NelNet Plan.
