Students considering transfer to another New Mexico public university may benefit from completion of the Transfer-Ready Certificate. This program is based upon the common general education core curriculum developed by the New Mexico Higher Education Department to facilitate transfer of lower division credits between colleges and universities within the state. These credits may be applied to lower division general education requirements at any New Mexico public higher education institution. While WNMU is regionally accredited, with additional accreditations in specific disciplines, acceptance of transfer credit by other institutions is subject to their policies.

Working closely with an advisor is recommended, especially in the selection of the guided electives. If additional courses beyond the required 30 credits are taken, only those listed in the certificate curriculum are assured to transfer. The Interdisciplinary Department/Advising Center are the primary source for advisement for this certificate.

Completion of this certificate does not prohibit continuation at WNMU for additional degrees or credits, nor does it impact eligibility for Financial Aid.

The following requirements must be met in order to qualify for the certificate:

1. A minimum of 30 credit hours;
2. All course work must be completed with a minimum grade of “C” in each class;
3. The student must have a minimum G.P.A. of 2.0 upon completion;
4. The student must meet all other university requirements for graduation.

Course selection for the core curriculum may be selected from the General Education Requirement section of this catalog.
