Before You Start

Not sure if this program is right for you? Here are a few things to discuss with your high school counselor and parent or guardian prior to enrolling in courses:

  • Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the NMSU campus. Students parking a car on campus are responsible for the purchase of a NMSU parking sticker.
  • The NMSU academic calendar starts and ends at different dates than most high school calendars. Students are expected to attend NMSU courses even if their high school is not in session for a particular day.
  • Students who take courses that are not part of the approved course list with their high school will be responsible for the costs of tuition, fees, and textbooks.
  • Enrolling in college courses is a commitment of your time and energy! Please consider whether enrolling in dual credit courses is a realistic option based on your extracurricular activities and family schedules.
  • Grades earned through dual credit enrollment are part of your permanent academic record at NMSU.
