Dual Credit
Welcome to New Mexico Junior College! We are excited that you have chosen to get a head start on your college education by participating in the NMJC Dual Credit program.
Dual Credit provides high school juniors and seniors who attend a public high school (with whom NMJC has a Dual Credit agreement) the opportunity to take college courses for which they will simultaneously earn both college credit and high school credit. After high school, when they go on to attend college or university, they will already have acquired the confidence to succeed academically in college. Students should see their high school counselor for Dual Credit information.
Concurrent Enrollment Provides high school juniors and seniors who attend a private or a public high school or are currently home-schooled students and at least 16 years of age, the opportunity to take college courses. Students seeking concurrent enrollment must speak with the Registrar's Office. The student and parent must complete a Concurrent Consent Form.
Prospective students may obtain a copy of NMJC's Annual Security and Fire Safety Report below.
Be advised that college classes are designed for adults and may not be appropriate for some high school-aged students.
The following is a Dual Credit Orientation video provided for new and perspective Dual Credit students. This video will provide information about NMJC campus, Student Service and Resources, use of the T-Bird Portal, and student expectations in dual credit classes. For further information about Dual Credit programs students should see their high school counselor.
