Students are best served when they take classes on their primary campus. It is there that students have access to advisors and faculty who are most familiar with their degree programs. Other support services, such as financial aid and tutoring, are also best delivered from a student’s primary campus.

For that reason, students at all NMSU campuses are expected to take 100/1000- and 200/2000-level classes at their primary campus with the following, limited, exceptions:

1. Students at NMSU-Las Cruces campus and NMSU-Global campus can register for developmental courses on any campus (CCDE, CCDM, CCDR courses). 
2. Community College students can take courses on any other campus if the course is not offered or if there are no seats available in that course at their primary campus.
3. Approval is authorized by the Vice President for Student Success or designee, in consultation with an academic advisor, for NMSU-Las Cruces and NMSU-Global campus students when the purpose is:
   1. consistent with the intent that students take courses on their primary campus
   2. in support of student degree and certificate completion
