Usage in New Mexico and College Credit
NICCM is proud to continue our partnership with UAF to allow students who take the NAC course to earn College Credit. Once participants complete the NAC course, their completed UAF registration form will be submitted to the University with their grade. UAF will then Issue both a Certificate for 45 Vocational hours and a transcript for 2 College Credits. (A small fee to the college will apply.) The UAF-NICCM NAC Certificate is then submitted to the New Mexico Child Care Licensing Division along with any other required information. As of 2019, all New Mexico Participants will be required to submit the UAF certificate for proof of completion of a National Administrator Credential (NAC) that has been administered through a college or University.
