General Information

Admissions

ENMU-Ruidoso has an open admissions policy. Applications for admission may be submitted to ENMU-Ruidoso. Applicants must be a high school graduate, hold an GED/HSE, or participate in the Early College Program. Students can apply for degree-seeking or nondegree seeking. Degree-seeking applicants must provide official transcripts from their high school and all college/universities to which they have been admitted to complete the admission process. Non-degree seeking students must provide an unofficial transcript for high school, and/or any colleges to which they have been admitted. Previous students may re-apply for admissions.

Apply online at www.ruidoso.enmu.edu.

Advising

Advocates are available to all prospective and current students. Advocates are trained to assist students in discovering their educational objectives, in degree planning, in exploring and applying for financial aid opportunities, and more. Students are encouraged to make an appointment to visit with an advocate, but are also welcome on a drop-in basis.

Don’t hesitate to speak with an advocate about applying for admissions, selecting a degree, applying for financial aid, or just to ask questions. Contact the Success Emporium at 575-315-1120 or 575-257-7222.

Placement Test

First-time students are required to take the University Skills Placement Test (USPT) before registering. This free assessment provides a baseline of academic abilities and is used in placing students in appropriate courses. If there are other test scores (ACT or SAT) reported within the past 12 months, students may be exempt from taking the USPT. Non-degree seeking students enrolling for six hours or less are exempt from taking the USPT. Please call 575-315-1120 to schedule your free placement test.

DROP/ADD AND WITHDRAWAL

Drop/Add: Changing a class schedule requires adding or dropping one or more courses. Changes can be made in your MyENMURuidoso portal. Advocates can also assist with the process.

Withdrawal: When a student feels he/she cannot complete a course or the semester, the student may withdraw from the course or the semester by completing a Withdrawal Form (available in the Success Emporium).

Note: When considering withdrawing from a class or the semester, please talk with an advocate – there may be some consequences that you have not considered (i.e., Financial Aid).

Note: Verbally notifying your instructor that you are dropping or withdrawing from his/her course does not officially change your registration status. For information contact the Success Emporium.

Course Auditing

Auditing a class means you pay for and attend classes but do not receive a grade. Audited courses do not meet degree requirements and are not eligible for financial aid or VA benefits. NC (Not for Credit option) must be marked on the original registration document. Changes to registration cannot be made after the end of the drop/add period.

Overloads

Enrolling in more than 18 credit hours in the fall or spring semester or 10 credits in the summer semester is considered an “overload.” You must have written permission from the Vice President of Student Learning and Success prior to registering for a course overload. Additional fees apply.

COURSE CHANGES/ CANCELLATIONS

ENMU-Ruidoso reserves the right to make changes to the published schedule or to cancel any classes that do not meet minimum enrollment requirements. Class enrollments will be closed when maximum class size has been reached.

Catalog

The ENMU-Ruidoso Catalog is available online. Degree plans and course descriptions are found in the ENMU-Ruidoso Catalog.

Special Services

The process of accommodations can take 1-3 weeks. Students are highly encouraged to begin the process of setting up accommodations before the semester begins.

Residency

For tuition purposes, a resident is defined as a student who meets each of the requirements before the first day of classes for that term.

Residency Requirements:

In general, a financially independent, adult person over 18 years of age must have resided in New Mexico for a period of 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the term for which the petition is being filed. If a student is under 23 and not financially independent, the residency is based on the parent/guardian residency. Furthermore, “residency” in this context means legal “residence.” Legal residence requires intent to remain in a place indefinitely, in the sense of making one’s permanent home here, as well as physical presence at the place. The distinction is that one may have any number of residences at one time, but never more than one legal residence.

In New Mexico, for most purposes, the age of majority is 18. Persons under the age of 18 are considered minors under the law. A minor’s residence is presumed to be the same as that of his/her parent or legal guardian. The residency decision for students under 18 is based upon the legal residence of the parent or legal guardian. In the event that a non-custodial parent is a legal resident of New Mexico, the minor student will be classified as a resident.

If you have questions concerning your residency, contact the Success Emporium.

The cost of the textbook/digital content is included as an additional course charge of $27 per credit hour on your student account statement.

Visit ruidoso.enmu.edu for the most up-to-date tuition rates as well as institutional, course and graduation fees.

Senior Tuition for NM Residents

A special $5 per credit hour tuition rate is available for New Mexico residents age 65 or older. Enrollment is restricted to 6 credit hours or less per semester, however if a senior student enrolls in more than 6 hours at any time during the semester, all credit hours will be adjusted to the applicable tuition rate. Students are responsible for payment of fees, books and other costs associated with their class.

Test Proctoring For Online Courses

Some courses at ENMU-Ruidoso may require students to complete their quizzes, assignments, or exams in a proctored setting. There are resources in New Mexico, and nationally, that can assist you in locating an appropriate exam site or test proctoring option. With the instructor’s permission, a proctored setting can be arranged at a local library or school or (for a fee) at a testing center. Online options (for a fee) are also available for proctored testing. You are responsible for arranging for this proctoring session and paying any fees. ENMU-Ruidoso does not officially endorse any proctoring entity or location. Your instructor will provide you with options for having an exam proctored.

Terms And Conditions Of Registration

By enrolling in classes at ENMU-Ruidoso, a student makes a financial commitment to pay the tuition and fee charges associated with that enrollment. The enrollment action constitutes a financial obligation between the student and ENMU-Ruidoso.

The payment of tuition and fees is the obligation of the student. By processing a course registration either via the web or by submitting a course request form to an academic student registration area, a student acknowledges they have read and agree to the following terms and conditions.

Registration constitutes a financial agreement between you (“Student”) and ENMU-Ruidoso. Once a student formally registers for classes, he or she assumes the responsibility for understanding ENMU-Ruidoso’s official policies concerning schedule changes, satisfactory academic progress and the financial policies of the College as described in the “ENMU-Ruidoso Catalog” for the term of enrollment.

Installment payment arrangements must be made with the Cashier for any charges not paid in full within five (5) business days of the start of the term or registration cancellation will result. A payment plan fee of $10 is charged on all payment plans. The due date for setting up a payment plan is the Drop/Add Deadline.

Payments And Financial Aid

Students withdrawing after the stated refund dates remain liable for full tuition and fee charges. ENMU-Ruidoso accepts payment via student financial aid and third party sponsorship, but the responsibility for payment remains with the student. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor his or her account balance and any funding sources. If financial aid is not granted or if third party sponsors do not pay within a reasonable period, the student will be required to pay the full amount due.
