1. Apply for admission to NMSU.
   You can apply as a regular student or as a non degree-seeking student. The cost for first time admission is $15. Applying as a non-degree seeking student gets you admitted much faster, and any college credits you earn count and transfer the same, but if you later wish to obtain a degree from NMSU you will have to apply to change to degree-seeking student status.
2. Register for your class
   This can be done either by printing and returning the form, online (after you are admitted) or by calling Brenda at 800-821-1574 (toll free in New Mexico); if you register by telephone you must follow upby an e-mail to distance@nmsu.edu. Tuition for NMSU distance ed courses is $167.75 per credit.
