During
the 2005 New Mexico Legislative session, Senate Bill 161, consistent with
requirements of state law (Chapter 224 of the Laws of New Mexico, 1995 as
amended) was signed into law to further enhance and facilitate the
articulation of general education courses among New Mexico’s colleges and
universities. In 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. Students who have decided on a major and/or an
institution at which to complete their studies should consult with an
academic advisor at that particular institution to determine the most
appropriate course selections. Students enrolling for the first-year of study
at a New Mexico college or university and considering possible transfer into
a certificate and/or degree program at another institution are encouraged to
take the courses approved for transfer during their freshman and sophomore
year of study.
