Certificate Audit Submission Information

Audit Submission window is open January 12, 2021 - February 12, 2021. If you have completed classes towards a certification, be sure to submit an audit during an open audit window.

Go to the NM EDGE Student Record and Enrollment Site.

  • Using the navigation bar on the left, select Certification Audit. Use the arrow to show the menu of certification choices, select the audit you want, and then submit. Please press submit ONLY once.

    • NOTE: If you receive a "system error" message when processing the audit request, please let us know. We recommend that you submit an audit request via email to nmedge@nmsu.edu at that time.

  • The audit is to verify that you have completed all of your classes, and to assign you an Academic Advisor to work with you on your Culminating Experience, and to prepare you for graduation.
  • For those of you who have completed all of your CPS and CPM classes, the Assessments are by invitation only, so please submit an audit and we will get back to you. Once we know who qualifies to be invited, we will notify you and set the date.

Thank you for your help as we strive to support you in achieving your goals.
Best wishes! Your NM EDGE Team

PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Please note that the NM EDGE will conduct all meetings and classes (when possible) using the Zoom videoconferencing platform during the Public Health Emergency (PHE).

  • You will need the following to participate in these NM EDGE PHE live online Zoom classes:

      • 1. Access to the internet using a device/computer with a camera and microphone (most laptops, iPads or similar device have these). You will need to leave your camera on during the entire class.

      2. You will need to have a quiet spot from which to participate (no distractions in the background, please).

      3. You will take the pre and post-tests online, too, so be mindful of the screen size.

      4. You will be emailed information about Zoom “practice sessions” and we recommend that you attend one practice to learn how we plan to use zoom for these classes.

      5. The day before the classes you will be emailed a zoom link to access the class.

      6. Access to the pretest is open 15 minutes prior to the start of class. Pre-test and post-test links are provided in class. Materials are emailed after everyone has completed the pretest.

      7. If you are taking Public Purchasing Classes to earn your Chief Procurement Officer designation or to recertify your CPO designation, you can find additional information on our Public Purchasing page of this website.

      8. Input is taken for scheduling of these live online classes during the Public Health Emergency. Email nmedge@nmsu.edu and request a link to the input survey.

      9. If you do not feel you are able to participate in these classes with the requirements as specified, you may remove yourself from the classes by logging in to your student account and clicking remove.

    Please contact us with questions or concerns by emailing nmedge@nmsu.edu. We are teleworking so calling our office will delay our response to you.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding and for your ongoing commitment to Better Government through Education.

    Sincerely,

    Your NM EDGE Team
