Students transferring to ENMU‑Roswell as a degree-seeking student must submit official transcripts from each college or university attended.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit

Evaluation of  acceptable credits that are transferable to a students’ degree program is performed by the Office of Admissions & Records.

Students seeking a transfer credit evaluation must complete an Admission Application to ENMU-Roswell and have original official academic transcripts sent directly to the University from each institution previously attended. Transfer credits are evaluated once all transcripts for that student have been received. Transfer credits are evaluated only for students seeking a degree or certificate. Transfer grade point averages are used in the calculation of grade point averages for graduation “With Honors” only.

Foreign students who wish to have foreign transcripts evaluated for transfer credit must provide a transcript evaluation that has been completed by an accepted International Transcript Evaluation Service (such as WES), and must demonstrate how the courses are equivalent in grade and content to those taught in the United States. Please contact the Office of Admissions & Records for more information.

Acceptance of Transfer Credit

Credit is accepted for college‑level work from institutions accredited by an agency recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Courses which would not be accepted include, but are not limited to, some technical/occupational courses, doctrinal religion courses, and basic skills or developmental level courses.

Credit for college-level work from an accredited institution will be articulated as soon as transcripts are received, in order to facilitate the determination of eligibility for financial aid, and for placement purposes.

To further enhance articulation between all state-supported institutions in New Mexico, ENMU-Roswell adopts the principle of treating transfer students as native students in the application of credit toward certificate or degree requirements.
