upperclassmen with declared majors are advised by faculty members in the student's major department. Undeclared sophomores with fewer than 36 credits are
advised in the Advising Center.
Transfer students with 28 credits or more and a declared major are advised in the department of their major. Others are advised in the college Advising
Center, except as noted above. New transfer students are encouraged to visit with Advising Center staff to review the evaluation of their transfer credits
and determine how these credits may be used to meet degree requirements. (excerpted from the NMSU
