STEPS TO REGISTER FOR SPRING SEMESTER 2021

To be safe on campus due to Covid-19, NMJC has changed some of its steps to register for Spring.

Among the changes:

• You may not need to take the Accuplacer test before registering for classes.  Just send us your high school transcript or GED certifitcate, as part of your application.
• Classes are two days each:  either Mon-Wed classes or Tues-Thurs classes.
• Registering for class is easy online. We have staff available to help you by phone, email or Zoom. Call 575-492-2577 or make an appointment.
• We have implemented additional safeguards for students and faculty to be safe
• There are easy-to-understand videos to register for classes.
