Before You Arrive Entering Freshmen

Now that I'm admitted, what's next?

Activate Your myNMSU Account

Newly admitted students need to get connected to New Mexico State's official e-mail system and online services. Your account will allow you to use online services including: course registration, tuition payment and accessing your grades.

See our myNMSU Web Portal page for instructions on activating your account.

Finalize Admissions

Request that an official final high school transcript be sent to NMSU. If you completed college level course work, please send an official transcript from the institution.

Apply for Financial Aid

You may apply for need-based financial aid as early as January 1st. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarship Services to get help with the application and if you have questions about grants, scholarships, work-study or loans.

Attend a New Student Registration

Information about New Student Registration will be mailed to all admitted students in mid-April. After receiving this information, schedule an appointment for advisement and registration with your college. To maximize your choice of courses, schedule an appointment as early as possible.
