New Mexico-Colorado Tuition RECIPROCITY Agreement About the Program The States of Colorado
and New Mexico have maintained a Tuition Reciprocity Agreement since
1985. The purpose of the agreement is to allow eligible students from New
Mexico to enroll at designated Colorado institutions of higher education at
in-state tuition rates and an equal number of eligible students from Colorado
to do the same at New Mexico institutions. Number of Participants
at UNM UNM is allotted 95 slots
by the New Mexico Higher Education Department for participating students.
The number of slots available to new applicants each semester is determined by
the number of continuing students in the Program. Program Eligibility
Requirements Students accepted to
participate in the Reciprocal Program must complete 15 new credit hours
with a 3.0 GPA each semester. This requirement is strictly enforced.
Students who are discontinued from the Program for failure to satisfy this
requirement will be charged out-of-state tuition thereafter until New Mexico
residency for in-state tuition purposes can be established. (See
Residency Status for Participating Students.) Students may remain in
the Program for a maximum of eight (8) semesters. Those who may
need more than eight semesters to graduate must plan ahead for out-of-state
tuition charges after their eight-semester eligibility expires. (See
Residency Status for Participating Students.) Academic records of
Reciprocal Program participants are audited by the Office of the Registrar at
the end of each academic year to determine continued eligibility. It
is the student’s responsibility to ensure that eligibility requirements are
met. Residency Status for
Participating Students Students in the
Reciprocal Program remain out-of-state residents for the duration of their
Program participation. They may not establish New Mexico residency
for tuition purposes during that time. Students who wish to become New
Mexico residents must satisfy all residency requirements, including the
twelve-month duration requirement, after discontinuing the program. In
other words, time spent in New Mexico while in the Reciprocal Program may
not be applied toward the twelve-month physical presence requirement to become
a resident for tuition purposes. Confidentiality of
Student Records Under the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, most information contained in a
student’s records may be disclosed only to the student. Specific
information about Program application status, and/or about Program eligibility
status may only be shared with the student. Contact Us If you have questions
