Dual Credit Student: “Dual Credit Program” is defined as a program that allows high school students to enroll in college-level courses offered by a college that may be academic or career technical but not remedial or developmental, and simultaneously to earn credit toward high school graduation and a postsecondary degree or certificate. Dual credit students do not pay ENMURuidoso tuition, however, the student is responsible for any fees (institutional or class). Textbooks are provided by the student’s high school. Further information regarding textbooks should be directed to the student’s high school counselor. More information may be obtained from the Success Emporium.

Concurrent Enrollment for High School Students:

A high school student earns college credit through ENMU-Ruidoso while still enrolled in high school. Credits cannot be used toward high school graduation. More information may be obtained from the Success Emporium. NOTE: Concurrently enrolled students typically pay for their own tuition, books, and fees but may receive scholarships to cover some or all of those costs. NOTE: ECP participants are not obligated in any way to continue enrollment at ENMU-Ruidoso after high school graduation. Credits earned in Dual Credit and Concurrent enrollment may be applied to an ENMURuidoso undergraduate degree only after the student applies and is admitted as a degree-seeking student.
