New Mexico plans statewide graduate course-sharing

Beginning this fall, graduate students enrolled full-time at New Mexico’s six public universities can take approved graduate courses at another participating institution without reapplying or registering there. Students remain enrolled at their home university and pay tuition and fees through it; cross-enrollment is limited to two courses per term, and courses must not be available at the home institution. Students must receive approval from graduate studies offices at both universities and meet academic-standing requirements. State officials say the agreement is intended to expand access to specialized coursework, faculty expertise and research opportunities while reducing barriers to timely degree completion.
