1 - Double Check Eligibility Requirements

  • At the time a students is considering adding and/or requesting an elective at thier high school that is tied to a UNM dual credit course, they should do a self-check to make sure they meet the minimum eligiblity requriements.
  • Does the student meet all of the minimum eligibilty requirements?
    • YES
      • Move onto Step 2
    • NO
      • Option 1: Wait to apply for UNM's dual credit program unitl you do meet the requirements
      • Option 2: Submit a petition.  Under extenuating circumstances, a student's petition to be admitted even though they do not meet the minimim eligibility requirements for participation will be consdiered.  Students should emaildualcredit@unm.edu for the petition form.  Students should fill this out.

2 - Submit the UNM Dual Credit Application Form

3 - Submit the NM Dual Credit Request Form 
  • The Student Information, Course Listing, High School Representative Signature, Student Signature, and Parent/Guardian signature must be complete.  Forms with missing information will not be processed.  The UNM Dual Credit Coordinator or Supervisor are the only ones authorized to sign for Postsecondary Representative on behalf of UNM.  They will sign off after review and approval of the complete admission packet. 
  • Course listing information (Schedule #, Course #, Course Section #, Course Title) can be obtained from Rebecca Martinez-Baca at rjmarti716@unm.edu.
  • Courses must be on the List of Approved Courses for their high school.  
  • Students or a high school representative may submit this form to dualcredit@unm.edu once it is complete.

4 - Submit Official High School Transcripts

  • There are only two ways an official transcript can be submitted
    • A student may order an official transcript through Parchment and request that it be directly sent to dualcredit@unm.edu
    • A high school representative (counselor, registrar, etc.) emails the official transcript directly to dualcredit@unm.edu
  • Transcripts submitted by students are considered unofficial, even if the transcript is labeled, "official."  Transcripts must be submitted directly from Parchment or by a high school representative.
  • Fall applicants must wait to send transcripts until spring grades have posted.  
  • If you were admitted to dual credit in a fall semester and are applying for the following spring semester, you will not need to send a new transcript as no new information will be on there since the last set sent for fall admission.
  •  

5 - Submit Official College Transcripts

  • If you took dual credit or concurrent enrollment classes at or through a college or university outside of UNM, you must have official transcripts sent to UNM Admissions when you complete your online application.  The college or university may send them electronically to apply@unm.eduor by hard copy to: UNM Admissions, P.O. Box 4985, Albuquerque, NM 87196-4895
    • As a reminder, students are not eligible for the UNM Dual Credit program if they have earned grades of "C-" or lower, "W", or "NC" at UNM or another institution.
    • If you took courses at or through CNM, see this website for instructions on how to order your official transcripts: https://www.cnm.edu/depts/enrollment/academic-records/transcripts 
    • If you took courses at IAIA, we can use an unofficial for admission but the offical must be ordered and submitted.
    • NOTE: If you have already sent UNM your official transcripts in a previous semester and you have not taken any new courses since you last sent the transcript, you do not need to send another one.  But, if there are updates, an updated transcript is required.
  •  

Admission & Registration

  • ADMISSION
    • The UNM Dual Credit Coordinator manages the entire Admissions Process for the Dual Credit Program.  Any questions about the status of a dual credit application should be sent to dualcredit@unm.edu
    • Once a student is admitted to the UNM Dual Credit Program, the UNM Dual Credit Coordinator will email confirmation to the student at the email address they provided on the UNM Dual Credit Application Form. A list of next steps will be provided at that time.
  • ADMISSION - Petition Requests
    • All dual credit students at UNM must meet the minimum eligibility requirements regardless of whether they are taking UNM courses located at their high school, online, or on the Albuquerque Campus.
    • If students do not meet the minimum eligibility requirements, it is within their right to petition if they have extenuating circumstances that caused them to not meet the requirements.
    • Petitions are reviewed individually and decisions are made on a case by case basis.  Submission of a petition does not guarantee its approval.
    • Students who wish to petition should email dualcredit@unm.edudirectly to request the form.  The form should be completed by the student and will need signature approval from parent/guardian and a high school representative.
    • We recommend petitions be submitted for review at least two weeks prior to the application deadline to give students who are approved ample time to submit all application materials on time.  Petitions may be submitted at the same time as an application but that does not guarnatee it's approval.
    • Petitions submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed as there should have been ample time prior to the deadline to determine from our list of eligibility requirements that a student wasn't eligible.
  • REGISTRATION
    • All registration functions (adding/dropping) are completed on behalf of the student by the UNM Dual Credit Office.  A hold is placed on all dual credit student accounts that prevent them from performing any registration functions.  This hold does not get removed until the student is no longer in dual credit status.
    • Students are admitted to the dual credit program as non-degree undergraduate students.  UNM's policy states, "Students without a baccalaureate degree may earn no more than 30 credit hours at UNM in non-degree status. Undergraduate colleges at the University will not accept in a degree program more than 30 UNM hours while the student is in non-degree status."  Therefore, we will not allow a dual credit student to earn more than 30 credit hours in non-degree status, as a dual credit student.
  • REGISTRATION - How to Drop a Course
    • Students who wish to drop a course must do so through the UNM Dual Credit Office.  If approved to drop, it will be done on the student's behalf.
    • Students who drop before the end of the third week of classes (full-term courses) do not receive a grade and receive a refund on any course fees they may have paid.
    • Students who drop after the end of the third week of classes (full-term courses) will receive a grade of "W" on their transcript and will not receive any refunds on course fees.  Please keep in mind that if a student receives a grade of "W" they are no longer eligible to continue in the dual credit program.
    • Specific drop deadline dates can be found on the Registrar's Website.
