Academic Services Available to Students at NMSU
These are some of the services available to our students. For more information regarding other university resources, visit Black Programs.
Center for Learning Assitance
The Center for Learning Assistance, in Hardman Hall, provides a variety of services to help students learn more in less time with greater ease and confidence. This may mean, for instance, diagnosis and prescription of particular materials and methods for improving reading, aid in study skills, help in writing term papers, or providing backup for specific course content. The Center helps students on a drop-in basis and offers workshops as well as credit courses. Students can take UNIV 110, Personal Learning Skills I as an individualized course for one credit, or Academic and Personal Effectiveness, a classroom course, for two credits.
Back to topCounseling Center
The Counseling Center, in Garcia Annex, offers free help for personal problems that are beyond the scope of an academic adviser. They can help with problems including personal relationships, weight control, coping with the university environment, depression, and many others.
Back to topFinancial Aid
All applications for grants and student loans are handled through the Office of Financial Aid. Each January, the federal government issues a new Federal Application Form for Student Aid (FAFSA), which is used to apply for all types of aid. Uncle Sam is very picky about how the forms are filled out, so you need to be careful. The financial aid office offers workshops to help students decipher the form, and it will be well worth your while to take advantage of them. Because of the nature of its business, the financial aid office is one of the busiest and most overworked on campus. Plan ahead-call at least two weeks in advance to make an appointment with your financial aid adviser.

The Mathematics Learning Center (Walden Hall, Room 102) is here to help you with any Mathematics class you may be enrolled in. They offer both mastery based and lecture based courses. Choose the one that fits your learning style.
