• Be seeking their first bachelor's degree.
• Have discontinued their enrollment for at least one semester  (excluding summer)
• Have a UNM cumulative 2.0 GPA
• Have a minimum of 90 overall credit hours, (30 must be UNM earned credit hours)
• Not have a bursar’s hold

Benefits of the Graduation Project

• Tuition Assistance: Students with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher automatically qualify for the Regents Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). This tuition-based award offers a tuition credit of up to $750 per academic term, which covers about four semesters (including summer terms).
