How College Differs From High School

How College Differs (Spanish)

Resources

Welcome to New Mexico Junior College! We are excited that you have chosen to get a head start on your college education by participating in the 火博体育官网 Dual Credit program.

Dual Credit provides high school juniors and seniors who attend a public high school (with whom 火博体育官网 has a Dual Credit agreement) the opportunity to take college courses for which they will simultaneously earn both college credit and high school credit. After high school, when they go on to attend college or university, they will already have acquired the confidence to succeed academically in college. Students should see their high school counselor for Dual Credit information. 

Concurrent Enrollment Provides high school juniors and seniors who attend a private or a public high school or are currently home-schooled students and at least 16 years of age, the opportunity to take college courses. Students seeking concurrent enrollment must speak with the Registrar's Office. The student and parent must complete a Concurrent Consent Form.

Prospective students may obtain a copy of 火博体育官网's Annual Security and Fire Safety Report below.

Be advised that college classes are designed for adults and may not be appropriate for some high school-aged students.
