The NMMI Business Office has a website which covers additional information on NMMI cadets. Actual charge information, financial advisor listings, infirmary and on-line payment information are key links found at https://www.nmmi.edu/business/. Use your back button to return here.
-
-
Tuition, fixed fees, uniform fees, room, board, laptop rental, tuition refund insurance and other fees as listed on the applicable cost sheet, which can be found at http://www.nmmi.edu/business/, are charged each semester. Fall payment in full or enrollment in payment plan deadline is before matriculation day. Spring payment in full or enrollment in payment plan deadline is before matriculation day.
-
Other charges to a cadet’s account may include the following:
-
Those cadets fully funded for the semester by federal funds or athletic scholarships, may charge books and related school supplies through the third Friday of classes. Charges in excess of funding will not be allowed
-
A monthly statement itemizing all charges will be forwarded to the responsible party around the 25th of the following month.
-
Cadets requiring personal items, school supplies or replacement uniform items may purchase these at the campus cadet store. The cadet store accepts debit and credit cards as well as the Bronco BuX card. More information on the Bronco BuX prepaid spending plan can be found at https://nmmi.campuscardcenter.com. Other alternatives include credit/debit cards, local bank accounts, or maintaining home town bank accounts.
-
Deferred Payment Plan - There is a third party payment plan available for paying tuition and fees by credit/debit card or automatic bank payment (ACH). A fee is charged for this service, which is found at https://www.nmmi.edu/business/. Under this plan, a down payment is required at the time of enrollment followed by equal monthly payments. If a deferred payment plan is established, but is not adhered to, the cadet is subject to dis-enrollment from school for non-payment.
-
Credit Cards - The Business Office, Cadet Store, and Golf Shop will accept VISA/MC, American Express and Discover cards. The credit cards will be accepted for total or partial payment of Tuition and Fees and payments can also be made on-line by going to https://www.nmmi.edu/business. The Cadet Store and Golf Shop will accept the cards for purchases. Cash advances are not available. Wire transfers may also be used and wire transfer information is available through the Business Office.
-
Financial Responsibility - At the end of any semester, any cadet whose accounts have not been paid in full will not be eligible to re-enroll for the subsequent semester. NMMI reserves the right to dis-enroll or cancel the registration of any cadet who fails to pay, when due any indebtedness. Academic credits, transcripts, and diplomas will be withheld until all financial obligations are met. Classes cannot be scheduled for future semesters either.
-
-
All current cadets and accepted applicants will automatically receive scholarship consideration.
-
Institutional scholarships will be credited to the recipient’s tuition account on Friday of the third week of classes. Cadets who have withdrawn from NMMI for any reason prior to Friday of the third week of classes will not receive scholarship funds. If a cadet withdraws from school for any reason during the first semester, the cadet may not be entitled to the scholarship if the cadet is re-enrolled during the same academic year.
-
ROTC scholarships are administered under policies provided by the US Army and issued directly to recipients’ when awarded. Students anticipating these funds must have already paid in full or enrolled in a payment plan to cover semester financial obligations.
- Refund Policy
-
Should a cadet withdraw or be dismissed, the semester tuition and fixed fee charges (other than matriculation, enrollment, blue book and fees imposed as a penalty) will be refunded as follows:
-
Next ten class days - 25%
-
Next ten class days - 50%

Next five class days - 75%
-

Please allow four to six weeks to process your account.
New Mexico Residency Requirements
Enrollment at NMMI is in itself not sufficient to change residency, and NMMI will classify a cadet based on their residency at the time of admission. Per state law, any action which will bring into question residency must be resolved. Legal residency is the person’s permanent home, which requires a physical presence coupled with an intent to remain and make that location/state one’s permanent home. An individual only has one residence at a time, and retains the former residence until all items are met in the new residence (license, voting, home, living expenses, etc.). At the time of first enrollment, residency is determined by the census date and anyone not meeting residency requirements will be classified as a nonresident. An individual’s classification remains as determined at first enrollment, as long as the cadet is a continuing cadet, unless the Registrar’s Office has knowledge of a circumstance calling for a reclassification.
An individual is considered a resident if the cadet has lived in New Mexico for over one year (NM physical location). An individual may become a resident of New Mexico through certain steps, but must complete those steps with one year residency before the cadet’s status changes to resident. Please see the New Mexico Higher Education Department (NM HED) website to review all residency requirements.
Along with certain waivers/exceptions granted by HED, NMMI grants certain non-resident tuition waivers (proof required) such as:
- Being a U.S. Armed Forces veteran or dependent of a veteran
- College athletes receiving state-funded athletic scholarships;
- Funded service academy preps;
- Residents of state of Sonora, Coahuila or Sinaloa, Mexico;
- Other waivers granted by the Board of Regents.
VA Benefits
NMMI enrolls a number of cadets who drill with National Guard and reserve units (six-year or longer contracts) making them eligible for Chapter 1606 VA benefits. NMMI also grants credit for basic and advanced training, and for certain MOS training applicable to NMMI coursework. Chapter 30, 33, 35 and 1607 benefits are also available. In all cases, cadet will submit a request for benefits application directly to the VA (gibill.gov website) and NMMI will submit the educational information directly to the VA for the benefit. Except for Chapter 33 benefits, monies are deposited directly to the cadet according to the cadet’s VA application and the cadet (and/or parent) is responsible for all fees/expenses to NMMI. Chapter 33 pays tuition and fees directly to NMMI and the remainder (books and living expenses) go to the cadet. NMMI asks for (as applicable), the application to VA, DD 214’s, contract, NOBE and the Certificate of Eligibility before submitting the educational portion of the record. If a cadet has attended another school prior to NMMI, they have the first semester to get a copy of their official record from the previous institution. If the cadet does not submit the previous education records after one semester, we will not submit future VA certifications for the cadet.
Chapter 33 Overpayments and Debts: As of early 2021, the VA does not collect any tuition and fee debts directly from the student. Instead, the VA requires that the school pay back these overpayments. NMMI will then be forced to collect any outstanding balance for tuition and fees from the student.
VA Standards of Progress
Veterans Academic Probation: All NMMI Students are placed on academic probation at the end of the fall or spring semester when their term grade point average falls below 2.0. Students placed on academic probation should meet with their academic advisor prior to the next term. This academic probation status will appear on transcripts. Names of students placed on academic probation are sent to the academic advisors. An academic probation letter is electronically mailed to all students on academic probation informing them of their status and to see their academic advisor. NMMI also will report this academic probation status to the VA.
Veterans Academic Suspension: All NMMI Students are placed on academic suspension at the end of the fall or spring semester when their term grade point average falls below 1.5, or if they were already on academic probation entering the term and their term grade point average falls below a 2.0. An academic suspension letter is electronically mailed to all students on academic suspension informing them of their status. Names of students placed on academic suspension are sent to the academic advisors. Students placed on academic suspension are allowed to appeal this status to the Academic Dean. If they are allowed to return, they will return on academic probation and must meet with the Academic Dean and their academic advisor upon returning. Students on academic suspension are not allowed to return to NMMI for one academic term. A student wishing to return after sitting out one term must re-apply for admission to NMMI.
Removal of Academic Probation: Academic probation is removed when a student’s term grade point average is raised to 2.0 or higher for the subsequent fall or spring term.
Termination of VA Educational Benefits: If a student is academically suspended, NMMI is required to terminate the student’s VA certification with an “Unsatisfactory Progress” status. Per the VA, schools that allow students to return on academic probation may not indefinitely certify students who remain on academic probation indefinitely. Thus, NMMI will terminate certification if a student remains on academic probation status for two consecutive terms.
Attendance Policy: See NMMI’s attendance policy within Academic Information section
Grading System: See NMMI’s grading system within Academic information section
