Transfer Student Policy

Transfer students who meet the Application Requirements are considered for admission into the ATEP provided there is space available. CAATE guidelines generally require a clinical ratio of no more than 8 Athletic Training Student to 1 Certified Athletic Trainer..

In addition to all ATEP Application Requirements, transfer students are considered based on the following criteria:

1. Official college/university transcripts are evaluated on an individual basis for credit towards NMSU ATEP requirements. To be considered for credit towards NMSU ATEP requirements, each course must have a grade of "C" or higher. Transcript courses at the 100 and 200 level are generally not accepted as a 300 or 400 level equivalent.
2. Prospective transfer students who were previously accepted into another CAATE-accredited ATEP must provide official transcripts and course descriptions of all relative coursework. Provided there is space available in the NMSU ATEP, the level at which the transfer student is placed will depend on the evaluation of the official transcripts and course descriptions provided by the prospective transfer student.
3. Prospective transfer students must be eligible to return to the college/university they last attended. An applicant who is under suspension is not considered for admission until the terms of the suspension are met.
4. Students who wish to graduate from NMSU are generally required to complete 30 of their last 36 credits at NMSU. See the current NMSU catalog for more information regarding this and other transfer student policies.
