We welcome you to SIPI where "Expect Success" rings true within our learning community. As a two-year institution, SIPI prides itself on how we prepare our students to be lifelong learners. 

 

The following Steps need to be completed before your first day of classes. Refer to Academic Calendar for all dates.

 

 

Required for first-time students. The Placement testing lets you know where you stand academically in English, Reading, and Math so Advisors register you for the right classes. A staff member will contact you to schedule your test.

Testing will occur on campus. Virtual testing is for those residing more than 50 miles outside of Albuquerque. 

New Students:
Upon completion of your Accuplacer your scores are sent to the Academic Chair of your program of study. The Academic Chair will assign your Advisor and your Advisor will contact you.

Transfer Students:
SIPI must have all transcripts for all previous institutions attended. An Academic advisor will contact you for class registration.

Re-Admit Students:
Admissions will notify the Academic Chair of your program of study. Your last known Advisor will contact you. If your former Advisor is no longer with SIPI, you are assigned a new Advisor.
