Students enrolled in a home school program may be accepted to NMSU if they meet the requirements for regular admission. In addition, the home school educator must submit a transcript or document that lists the courses completed and grades earned by the student. This transcript or document must also indicate the date the student completed or graduated from the home school program.

Home school students who are New Mexico residents must submit proof to the Undergraduate Admissions Office of registration with the New Mexico Public Education Department to qualify for the Lottery Success Scholarship and other institutional scholarships.
