Introduction

The New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) Student Handbook is intended to supplement the material in the current New Mexico Junior College Catalog. Students are responsible for acquainting themselves with the policies and procedures outlined in the Student Handbook, Catalog, and official emails, as well as other official publications.

The codes and policies within the Student Handbook set forth the rights and responsibilities of NMJC students; outlines the standards for conduct; provides the types of interim measures and sanctions which may be imposed for a violation; provides a prompt and fair fact-finding hearing, as well as an objective review process if students elect to appeal the outcome of the fact-finding hearing.

The authority to enact and to enforce regulations of the College is vested in the Board of Trustees. The responsibility for enforcing regulations and imposing penalties is delegated to the President and any college officials the President may designate. The Office of the Vice President for Student Services is the principal agency for the administration of student discipline. 

Questions concerning the policies and procedures in the NMJC Student Handbook should be directed to:

Policies in the NMJC Student Handbook are subject to change.
