Colleges announce Shared Services Enterprise Resource Planning Collaborative and Request for Proposals
Five public New Mexico colleges including Northern New Mexico College on Friday announced a ground-breaking partnership that will fundamentally change the higher education student experience.
Northern New Mexico College, Clovis Community College, Central New Mexico Community College, San Juan College, and Santa Fe Community College have come together to develop a single, shared system of student, continuing education, workforce, financial, and human resources services. The first of its kind in the nation, this project will transform the student experience. It has received endorsement from New Mexico Independent Colleges, the New Mexico Higher Education Department and institutional leaders. Their leadership will serve as a model for other higher education initiatives.
A new student experience is in the works at five New Mexico colleges.
Through a collaborative effort three years in the making â the first of its kind in the nation â one admissions application could one day open the door to a wider variety of classes and support and ease the process of transferring from one school to another.
The project, announced Friday, has the potential to grow to more state institutions.
The move is expected to affect student recruitment, registration, financial aid and advisement at each of the five participating schools.
âWeâre trying to put studentsâ needs ahead of what has been a little bit easier for [colleges to do] in the past and look at it from a studentâs perspective,â said Becky Rowley, president of Santa Fe Community College, which is participating in the partnership.

State Center Community College District Chancellor Paul Parnell announced Tuesday he will retire next year, closing out a 34-year education career that includes five years in the district’s top job.
His last day of work will be July 6, 2021, Parnell said in a written announcement. He said the search for his replacement will begin in January.
“I want to thank all of you for partnering with me and entrusting me with the leadership of this district,” Parnell said in a letter to district trustees and leadership. “We have exceeded the lofty goals we set for our students, district, and communities during my tenure. So, it is with the knowledge that I am leaving the district in a better place than it was when I started and after more than 34 years in education, I have decided it is time to retire.”
