Accreditation-Related Contacts
HLC Accreditation Liaison Officers for NMSU System Campuses (HLC ALOs)
Each NMSU-system campus is regionally accredited by the HLC. NMSU-Grants is accredited as a branch campus of NMSU-Las Cruces, and NMSU-Alamogordo and NMSU-Dona Ana are each independently accredited by the HLC. Each independently accredited campus has an appointed HLC ALO. The campus ALO is the official campus contact for the HLC. NMSU's HLC ALOs meet regularly throughout the year.
