Transfer credit

New Mexico Tech accepts academic credits from accredited institutions of higher education. All credits will be evaluated and transferred on a course-by-course basis. Credit earned at any institution while a student is on academic or disciplinary suspension will not be accepted at New Mexico Tech. Grades earned at other universities are not transferred to Tech.
