Transfer Students

Students in good academic standing at other colleges and universities (2.0 minimum GPA) are eligible for transfer admission to New Mexico Tech. Credits taken at another institution will be evaluated and transferred on a course-by-course basis. See transfer section for information on how to apply for admission and transfer of credit.

You will be considered a transfer student if you have a minimum of 30 credit hours transfer from an accredited college or university you have attended after graduating high school or completing your GED. (If you have fewer than 30 credit hours of transfer credit, or if you completed college credit as dual credit, follow the regular Freshman/first-year Admission section above.)

Admission Requirements

The minimum admission requirements for a student who is classified as a transfer student are as follows:

  • The student transferring from another college or university must have completed the same high school coursework requirements as freshman/first -year student admission (either from high school or from equivalent courses taken since high school).

  • The applicant must present official college transcripts showing a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better.

  • The applicant must place in Math 1240 (Pre-Calculus) or higher.

  • The student must be in good academic standing at the last institution attended.

  • The student must be eligible to re-enroll at the institutions from which they wish to transfer. An applicant who cannot re-enroll at that institution is not eligible to enter New Mexico Tech.
