NTU offers a variety of services to assist and support students in attaining their educational goals. These student-centered services supplement NTU's academic offerings, help facilitate learning, and empower students to succeed personally as well as academically. Such services include:

 

   

 

The Student Services department have been working hard to accommodate your safety and well-being as you return for the Spring 2022 Semester. The Board of Regents have approved a Vaccination policy which requires all students that are attending on campus courses to be vaccinated. Those that have turned in waivers will only be allowed to take classes online for your safety as well as ours. With the Omicron variant, it is recommended everyone to double mask or use an N95 or KN95 mask. Please supplement your cloth mask because cloth masks cannot completely stop this very contagious virus. If you need any masks for the day please stop by the security office to get a mask or at the Wellness Center with George LaFrance or Michael McMillan.

If for some reason, you are not able to contact anyone of the service providers, please contact Lucille Barbone at 505-387-7443 or myself.

Career advisement is offered to provide guidance to students in selecting a career path and a corresponding academic program at NTU. The career advisor uses a computer-based pre-assessment test to evaluate an individual’s personality, interests, skills, and aptitude in order to identify his/her career competencies.

Some programs require an internship where students have the opportunity to apply practical, job- specific skills in an actual work situation in cooperation with businesses in the private and public sector. Students enrolled in these programs must complete their internship to qualify for graduation. The student must meet with the advisor and assigned faculty advisor to begin the process of submitting documents and officially registering for the course with the Registrar’s Office. The Career Service Office aspires to provide students with an advantage in the job market by giving them an opportunity to enrich their skills in an on-the-job learning environment. The Career Service’s office can:

  • Provide students with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills necessary for success in a career or continued education opportunities.
  • Offer students the opportunity to prepare for a career through on-the-job experience or a research-based learning environment.
  • Provide students with guidance in selecting a specific career path and/or in choosing a college to complete educational goals.
  • Strengthen student's employability in today's job market.
