Transferring to
The University of New Mexico
from
El Paso Community College
2008 – 2010 Catalog
Revise 10/29/2008
The University of New Mexico and El Paso Community College work closely to ease your transition from EPCC
College to UNM. This information is provided to assist you in planning a transfer program.
While UNM does not ordinarily transfer technical or occupational coursework, the College of Education developed
a Baccalaureate Degree program in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technologies for students who have
earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in certain fields. The program, which provides quality education for
individuals interested in improving the learning experiences of adults in corporate settings, allows a maximum
transfer of credits from approved technical disciplines in community colleges and post-secondary technical
institutes. For additional information, contact 277-4131 or 277-4132.
For the most current transfer information this guide is available on-line and updated as necessary; check the UNM website:
www.unm.edu, click on “Future Students” and follow the link to “How to Transfer to UNM.”

Unless otherwise indicated, the following courses, with a minimum grade of “C”, are fully
transferable to UNM. Some classes must be completed with a “C” or better (not C-) in order to fulfill
prerequisite or degree requirements. Please note that course transferability does not ensure meeting
specific degree requirements. Where applicable, courses are cross-listed with their UNM equivalents.
In most situations where more than one course is required to meet the UNM equivalent, the excess
hours will be applied to general university electives. If there is no equivalent UNM course number
listed, the class may or may not be applied toward core requirements or as elective credit in a degree
program.
EPCC courses that list The University of New Mexico equivalencies have been approved by the
departments offering the respective courses at UNM. Transfer courses that do not list UNM
equivalencies may or may not satisfy specific degree requirements. You must check with department,
college, or school advisors at UNM to see if these courses apply to your degree program.
The provisions of this transfer guide are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the student and
The University. The University reserves the right to change any provisions or requirements at any time.
