Graduate Commencement Information:

As you know, NMSU Carlsbad is now Southeast New Mexico College (SENMC). We have been working hard to transition away from the NMSU system into our very own system for SENMC. This will be our last Commencement Ceremony with NMSU. This year we will have a combined ceremony with NMSU and SENMC graduates. Some graduates will wear NMSU regalia where some of the graduates will wear SENMC regalia. Regardless, you are all graduates!!! YOU DID IT!!! Congratulations on your achievements!
