Admissions Information
New Mexico Junior College is an independent two-year comprehensive community college having as a major part of its fundamental mission the provision of serving the needs and making accessible post-secondary education to the members of the community. In order to fulfill this mission, the College has an open-door policy for admission of students in credit courses and programs, who have graduated from an accredited high school, completed a General Education Development (GED) or High School Equivalency (HiSET) certificate, or who through age and experience qualify for admission. The College also has opportunities for high school juniors and seniors to take college classes.
In order to ensure that the student has every opportunity for success, incoming students are required to meet with an academic or faculty advisor, either in person, via telephone, or virtually, prior to enrolling in courses. During this meeting, the advisor will review assessment results, prior course grades, discuss future academic and career goals, assist in identifying a path to achieve those goals, select the appropriate NMJC degree plan, and enroll the student into the appropriate courses.
Prospective students are encouraged to visit the campus. Arrangements for visits that will include a full exploration of college life can be made by contacting the NMJC Helpdesk at asknmjc@nmjc.edu or (575) 492-2577. The Vice President for Student Services is responsible for administering the admissions policies and procedures of the College.
Admission to the College does not guarantee admission to all programs. Certain programs may have restricted enrollments, additional enrollment processes, and/or early enrollment dates. Applicants should consult with an Academic Advisor or Division Dean for details concerning admission to these programs. In addition, individuals may be denied admission to NMJC, denied enrollment in certain courses and/or programs, and participation in NMJC sponsored activities if it is determined that such access is likely to pose a serious threat to the safety of the applicant and / or members of the NMJC community. Such determination will be made on a case-by-case basis and is subject to review by the Vice President for Student Services and the Vice President for Instruction.

The goal of the common course numbering system is to improve the transfer and articulation of courses between New Mexico's public and tribal higher education institutions. If a student completes a commonly numbered course at one New Mexico public/tribal Higher Education Institution (HEI) and transfers to another New Mexico public/tribal HEI, the receiving HEI shall accept the course as equivalent to the course with the same number that is offered at the receiving HEI. This means that a commonly numbered course shall fulfill degree requirements when it is accepted as an equivalent course that is part of the degree requirements of a student's chosen academic program at the receiving institution. A student who has completed commonly numbered courses that are not part of their chosen degree requirements is not exempted from course requirements for their chosen degree. The Course Numbering System will include all lower division academic courses offered at New Mexico's public higher education institutions.
A Core Matrix of approved courses guaranteed to transfer and meet general education requirements at any New Mexico college or university can be found on the New Mexico Higher Education Department website at www.hed.state.nm.us.
New Mexico General Education Transfer CoreIn accordance with policies established by the New Mexico Higher Education Department, designated general education core courses successfully completed at any regionally accredited public institution of higher education in New Mexico are guaranteed to transfer to any New Mexico public institution.

Only credit earned in non-technical subjects shall be initially accepted from technical institutes which are accredited by a regional collegiate accrediting association. Normally, no credit shall be accepted by the College from technical institutes, business schools, or other post high school institutes which are not members of regional collegiate accrediting associations. However, students applying to the College who have earned technical credit, which they believe would be applicable to the degree they are pursuing, may have an official transcript sent from the school directly to the New Mexico Junior College, Registrar. It shall then be the student's responsibility to request referral of this transcript by the Registrar to the division of the college having supervision of his/her particular program. The division shall determine whether any of the credit is acceptable in its program and return the transcript with its recommendations to the Registrar. An interview or demonstration of competence, or both, shall be required before the decision regarding credit is made. Acceptance of such credit shall be binding only to the specific program recommending credit. It shall be subject to re-evaluation should the student later enter another program offered by the College.
New Mexico Junior College recognizes that New Mexico police officers and corrections officers come to us with a firm grounding in their individual disciplines. We recognize and honor their prior learning by awarding college credit for a wide variety of learning experiences, both classroom and practical experience. In an effort to assist officers who want to further their educational experiences, NMJC is willing to award college credit for successful completion of both a certified law enforcement academy and / or corrections academy. Such credit will be treated as credit without a grade, will count toward graduation, and may be used in fulfilling specific curriculum requirements. Credit will be awarded upon completion of 15 credit hours at NMJC as follows:
- Any currently certified and commissioned police officer may receive up to 32 credits by providing proof (original certificate) of the successful completion of a certified law enforcement academy in New Mexico. Credits may count toward the AAS in Criminal Justice or an AA. Students will receive credit as follows:
-
LA 113 or CJ 113-Introduction to Criminal Justice—3 hrs.
-
LA 113P or CJ 113P-Introduction to Policing—3 hrs.

NMJC will also accept transfer of credits from any other regionally accredited institution. Credits may transfer but not necessarily apply to the student’s chosen course of study. Whether credits will count toward a degree is based on the decision of the College Vice President for Student Services and the Dean of Public Safety. Students will be required to have certified copies of transcripts sent to NMJC.
Students will be required to complete a minimum of 15 hours of course work at NMJC and meet all other requirements for graduation. Credit will be awarded upon completion of 15 credit hours at NMJC.
New Mexico Junior College utilizes the American Council on Education (“ACE”) Military Guide to grant students credit for any prior military courses and occupations. Students will receive credit only for coursework that applies towards the degree they are pursuing. Students need to be current NMJC degree-seeking students. A Joint Services Transcript (JST) needs to be sent to New Mexico Junior College, Registrar, in order to be evaluated.
Institutional Challenge
New Mexico Junior College recognizes that students learn by experience as well as
in the formal class setting. Therefore, students who wish to establish NMJC credit
for prior education, training, and / or experience may challenge a course by taking
a comprehensive examination that is administered by the division responsible for the
course. The grade on each institutional challenge exam is the grade that will appear
on the NMJC transcript. In order to be eligible to attempt credit by institutional
challenge, the following provisions must be met:
• The student must contact the appropriate academic dean and instructor for permission
and make arrangements to take the institutional exam for credit.
• The student must not have previously audited, enrolled in, or attempted credit by
examination in the course(s).
• The student must enroll in the course before the institutional challenge exam can
be taken.
• Courses successfully challenged may count toward program requirements, but not NMJC’s
graduation residency requirement.
Credit by exam will not be awarded for physical education activity classes.
Advanced Placement (AP) / College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Students may earn up to 48 credits through Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level
Examination Program (CLEP) tests. Earned AP and CLEP credit will be treated as transfer
credit without a grade, will count toward graduation, and may be used in fulfilling
specific curriculum requirements. For more information, contact the NMJC Registrar’s
Office.
Students who have completed college-level courses in secondary schools and have taken the Advanced Placement (AP) examinations of the College Board with resulting composite scores of 3, 4, or 5 may petition for college credit and advanced placement.
