Students who do not meet application requirements for NMSU might be eligible for the University Transition Program (UTP).

UTP students:

  • Take courses at the Doña Ana Community College, adjoining NMSU's Las Cruces Campus
  • Are eligible for NMSU housing and campus activities
  • Design a course of study with an advisor from DACC that will facilitate transfer to NMSU
  • Transfer to NMSU after 24 credits with a minimum GPA of 2.5

The UTP allows students lacking requirements for admission to NMSU to establish their academic credentials. To learn more about this program, contact the NMSU office of Admissions at (575) 646-3121, (800) 662-6678, or at admissions@nmsu.edu.
