Concurrent Enrollment / Dual Credit

This “honors” program permits highly qualified high school juniors and seniors to take University of New Mexico courses while simultaneously attending high school or during the summer between the junior and senior years. This is a part-time status and should not be confused with Early Admissions.

Dual Credit Option

“Dual Credit Program” is a program that allows public high school students to enroll in college-level courses offered by a public postsecondary educational institution that may be academic or career technical but not a remedial or developmental, and simultaneously to earn credit toward high school graduation and a postsecondary degree or certificate.

Meeting the criteria listed does not mean that the student will be automatically admitted to the Concurrent Enrollment or Dual Credit Programs. In all cases the final admission determination will be made by the Director of Admissions.

1. The student must be a high school junior or senior.
2. The student must have the certification and unconditional recommendation of the high school as well as proof of parental consent prior to participation.
3. The high school must furnish the Office of Admissions with an official high school transcript.

   2. Class rank in top 25%, and a minimum grade point average of 2.25 on a 4.0 scale
      - or -
      
   3. An ACT composite score of 23 or an SAT total score of 1060 and a minimum grade point average of 2.25 on a 4.0 scale.
