Graduate Students
The Graduate School is requesting that all students work closely with their advisor/chair in making decisions related to comprehensive/oral exams, dissertation defense or any other oral defense related to degree completion. The Graduate School will work with advisors and students regarding these decisions and possible timelines once these meetings have occurred with your advisors. An announcement will soon be made with new deadlines due to the current circumstances regarding exam forms and oral defenses.
- Zoom
- Currently, ICT is working on getting faculty and administrators’ access to Zoom. In the meantime, the Graduate School has access to the Zoom account and is happy to schedule your Zoom meeting, so that you will be able to meet with your student(s) for your meetings from your computer. Please email Luis A. Vázquez to schedule a Zoom meeting through the graduate school.

The NMSU College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences is offering free WiFi access for students through its many Cooperative Extension Offices and Agricultural Experiment Stations throughout the state. Rural students who need access to a WiFi network for classes may visit CES and AES locations in their counties to access the WiFi signal on their devices from the parking lot while using recommended social distancing practices. Most locations already have WiFi access up and running, and more are expected to be online soon. The guest password for the network at each location is Aggies#1.
Devices that have already been registered on an NMSU campus should be able to connect to the network. Devices that haven’t previously been connected on campus will need to be registered at https://netreg.nmsu.edu/.
