Current Gateway Students (2025–2026 Cohort)
Students in the final Gateway cohort should continue to actively engage with the College Enrichment Program (CEP), submit class schedules each term, and follow the next steps outlined below while completing coursework at their partner institution.
Gateway students remain eligible for advising, support services, and program benefits while working toward completion of the required 24 transferable credit hours.

CEP staff will continue to assist students through the transfer process and support a successful transition to the University of New Mexico.
