  • Meet with an admissions counselor
  • Campus tours are STRONGLY recommended for all candidates.
  • Admission decisions are made as quickly as possible once an individual candidate's file is complete.
  • Placement testing may be required
  • Students who plan to live on-campus are required to complete a housing application and submit an additional $100 deposit to reserve space in the residential complex.
 

Admission Policies

Completion of a four-year high school program or a state high school equivalency certificate is required for admission to the associate degree, diploma and certificate programs offered at NMCC. A rolling admission policy affords candidates the opportunity to apply and be considered for acceptance throughout the year, but early application (9-10 months prior to the beginning of a given school year) is recommended because of competition and enrollment capacities established for each program. Some programs are subject to a competitive admission process. All programs are offered to women and men. Students are encouraged to enroll in programs considered nontraditional for their sex. Qualified handicapped students are also encouraged to apply and are provided appropriate support services. See the requirements and recommendations matrix at the end of this section.

Requirements (refer to page 11)
