 Academic Advising is a collaboration between advisors and students; the advisor provides information and resources for the student's academic, professional, and social development.

NMT's strength is that students are advised by faculty in their major. The relationship that develops between the faculty advisor and student can be academically and professionally beneficial.

Process for new (incoming) undergraduate students

The NMT Registrar handles all of the preliminaries to academic advising, and works with Department Chairs to connect new, incoming students to New-Student-Advisors.    Note that the latter are not necessarily the student's permanent advisor. 

 If you are a new student and have any questions or concerns about the advising process, please contact our Registrar's Office (registrar@nmt.edu; 575-835-5133).

Process for current students

The student should "meet" (via Zoom, a phone call, or email exchange) with their permanent advisor to discuss their course schedule for the following semester.  Once the advisor approves the student's schedule the student will receive a code (APIN) from the advisor that will allow them to complete their registration online.
