About Our Pathway Programs

Through our partnerships with the UNM Office of Admission, UNM branch campuses, and our community partners, CEP is able to support students as they enter The University of New Mexico Main Campus until they graduate. Students who are participants in these programs receive specialized support from a CEP advisor and engage in events that promote a successful transition to UNM.

NMCAN Summer Bridge

The College Enrichment Program (CEP) is responsible for providing leadership in the development, implementation, and coordination of student support services and activities that are designed to assist CEP students’ academic achievement and their personal, cultural, and social development.  This commitment extends to young adults who have experienced foster care and are continuing their education at UNM.

Gateway Program (Final Cohort 2025–2026)

The University of New Mexico Gateway Program has been sunset effective Fall 2025. The Fall 2025 cohort represents the final group of students admitted to the program, and beginning Spring 2026, no new students will be accepted.

Students in the final Gateway cohort should continue to actively engage with the College Enrichment Program (CEP), submit class schedules each term, and CEP staff will continue to assist students through the transfer process and support a successful transition to the University of New Mexico.
