New Mexico State University is a community that is dedicated to personal and academic excellence. Choosing to join the community obligates each member to a code of civilized behavior. The purpose of this handbook is to present rules and policies that govern student conduct and student activities at New Mexico State University and that describe faculty and staff obligations in their work with students. These rules result from years of experience and are the products of student, staff, and faculty thought. 

Each individual student, faculty member, and staff employee is expected to read this handbook carefully and observe its requirements. Particular attention should be given to our  Aggie Core Values, the  NMSU Notice of Non-discrimination and Equal Opportunity and the Students’ Rights and Responsibilities. 

No rule, no matter how carefully worded, can cover all eventualities completely. Beyond specific rules, we should all aspire to conduct ourselves with respect for others, the highest ethical standards, and personal integrity. That is what being an NMSU Aggie is all about.
