NEW MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE 101 West College Boulevard Roswell, New Mexico 88201-5173 575-624-8400 Fax: 575-624-8459 Commandant of cadets Dean of Students 1 June 2016 Yearlings and Old Cadets, Congratulations on your decision to return to New Mexico Military Institute. As time passes you will come to realize why the Institute is so important to New Mexico and our Nation, and why there are so many successful graduates. You will look back on your experience at NMMI as the foundation for whatever success you achieve in the future…a success built on academic excellence, leadership and character development, and physical fitness. No matter how long you stay, NMMI will be with you for the rest of your life. As your Commandant, my most important responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, health and welfare of each and every one of you. My goal is to focus on these areas and to maintain a positive environment in which every cadet can achieve academic excellence, become leaders of character, and develop a desire for lifelong physical readiness. Everything we do contributes to helping you develop as a “whole” person. Cadet leaders are given the authority and responsibility for leadership of the Corps of Cadets. They are taught to practice positive leadership, and are held accountable for results. It is the responsibility of the Troop Leadership Advisors (TLA) to guide and mentor the Cadet Leaders. I want to help every cadet be successful and maximize his or her potential. Traditions run deep at NMMI and are very important. The honor code, self-discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork, avoidance of high risk behavior, and putting forth your absolute best effort form the foundation of these traditions. There is a tradition of impeccable personal appearance, and NMMI cadets are expected to live by our standards no matter where they are or who they are with. The Corps of Cadets is at the center of the Institute’s traditions, and plays a key role in the development of leaders of character and confidence. Every cadet must prepare himself or herself to assume a leadership position within the Corps at any time. The success of each cadet is the result of a well trained, informed and caring cadet chain of command, starting with the squad leaders. I will be watching closely to ensure the cadet chain of command is working hard to support every cadet and properly enforcing standards. Within the Corps of Cadets the same standards apply to all. There is only “One Corps with One Standard” and that standard embodies “Duty, Honor and Achievement.” Our tradition of high standards, both in and outside the classroom, is what makes the “NMMI Experience” so challenging and rewarding. My guidance for every cadet in the Corps is straightforward: The way forward for every cadet lies in their progress in personal and professional development. Strive to exemplify the lasting principles of Duty, Honor, and Achievement in your daily life: your character should be above reproach, your integrity unquestionable, your service in leadership exemplary, and your commitment to excellence inspiring Our standards are high, which is why our results are impressive. Every cadet is expected to do what is right even when no one is watching. At NMMI there are many opportunities to relax and have fun! I encourage cadets to become involved with the many cadet activities that are available. We have great recreational facilities for your use during your free time and there are many places to go in the local area. When you have the opportunity, you should spend time outside your room. I especially encourage you to support your fellow Colt and Bronco athletes, the Drill Team, Regimental Band, Choir, and Math/Science Olympians. They represent all of us every time they compete or perform. I look forward to the day when you become a NMMI Alumnus, and we can call upon you to support the Institute in its continued development of tomorrow’s leaders. Jonathan K. Graff, Jr. Lieutenant Colonel, US Army, (Ret) Commandant of Cadets/Dean of Students NEW MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE 101 West College Boulevard Roswell, New Mexico 88201-5173 575-624-8400 Fax: 575-624-8459 Commandant of cadets Dean of Students 1 June 2016 Parents, Guardians, Yearlings and Old Cadets, Welcome back to New Mexico Military Institute. Yearlings and old cadets selected for Cadre must return by noon on 24 July 2016. Those cadets not on Cadre are expected to report back between 8 and 14 2016. Cadets will not be allowed to miss class time to matriculate. Enclosed with this letter is important information that you and your cadet must read. Please take the time to accurately fill out the paperwork and return it by 24 July. It is critical that you update all of this information every year and that we have your current email address and phone numbers (home and cell). The Parent/Cadet contract and procedures for emergency communications have been updated and are very important so please go over them carefully with your cadet. Every cadet and his/her parent or guardian is required to sign the contract every school year to reinforce our collective understanding and commitment to the established NMMI standards. The contract is an effort to communicate with parents, guardians and cadets to ensure understanding of the established framework of the rules and policies that guide daily cadet life. Adherence to our high standards, the support of parents and the commitment of the staff and faculty enable NMMI cadets to achieve a high degree of success. Please keep in mind that all cadets are required to have in their possession the items they were issued as new cadets. Again this year, all cadets will be required to have all black PT shoes with black laces – NO EXCEPTIONS! They can be purchased at the Cadet Store. Clothing items must be serviceable and fit properly. If they do not pass the initial inspections they will be required to purchase new items. The black NMMI sweat suit is no longer authorized. Please leave it at home for later wear as an alumnus. NMMI sends a weekly email newsletter that highlights Corps activities, cadet accomplishments, NMMI news and events, athletic scores and updates and important information for parents. To sign up for the Parent E-Newsletter visit https://www.nmmi.edu/mailman/how2sub.htm. I strongly encourage parents to sign up for the parent email and make frequent visits to our website, www.nmmi.edu, which has the school’s Master Calendar highlighting special activities and events. We are looking forward to another exciting and successful year. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in August! Jonathan K.

Your financial obligation to the school is for the full term as stated in the school’s enrollment contract. The school cannot refund tuition or cancel unpaid obligations if your child is forced to withdraw during the term. If your son or daughter withdraws, the Tuition Refund Plan will pay benefits (subject to the terms of the policy and the amount insured) to the school, which provides substantial assistance in meeting your financial obligation. Every year, thousands of students must withdraw from independent schools. The following are examples of reasons why: • Family Move • Scholastic Difficulties • Change of Objective • Financial Problems • Injury or Sickness • Mental Health Conditions • Death of Parent or Student • Job Loss • Disciplinary Dismissal This leaflet explains how to protect your financial commitment against unforeseen withdrawals or dismissals.

Graff, Jr. Lieutenant Colonel, US Army, (Ret) Commandant of Cadets/Dean of Students NEW MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE 101 West College Boulevard Roswell, New Mexico 88201-5173 575-624-8400 Fax: 575-624-8459 Commandant of cadets Dean of Students 1 June 2016 Memorandum For: Parents/Guardians/College Cadets Subject: Proof of Medical Insurance Policy 1. In order for the NMMI medical staff to coordinate and expedite secondary medical care (follow-up visits after emergency room visits, and schedule doctor’s appointments), all cadets are required to provide proof (copy) of insurance for medical, dental, prescriptions, etc. Copies of these documents are to be provided to the medical staff during Matriculation. 2. All cadets participating in high school athletics, college athletics, or JROTC competitions must provide proof of insurance to be eligible to play or participate. 3. Proof of insurance will be kept on file in the Infirmary and must be updated annually, or when there is any change in insurance coverage. The Infirmary medical staff will maintain a list of those cadets who have not provided proof of insurance. 4. All costs for medical treatment received are the responsibility of the parent or adult cadet. This includes submitting bills and other documentation to their own insurance company as required. 5. Cadets may jeopardize their ability to remain at NMMI if they are unable to perform routine Corps activities that include physical fitness training. A cadet’s inability to obtain necessary medical care due to a lack of insurance is not a valid excuse for nonparticipation in Corps activities. If this occurs, the Commandant may initiate action that requires a cadet to go before the NMMI Medical Review Board to be considered for disenrollment. Jonathan K.

This policy provides information regarding the standard operating procedures for computer use and requirements at New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI). NMMI will provide all new cadets with a laptop. Wireless capability exists in the barracks and all buildings across campus. 2. If you bring your own computer, network software installation is required. Wireless and wired connections are provided to each cadet desk. Computers must be able to support 10/100 MB Ethernet connections. Operating systems capable of network connections are also required. Microsoft Windows 7 is currently the campus standard. Machines with Windows XP will not be allowed on the NMMI network. Machines with Windows 2000, Windows Millennium (ME), Windows 98 and Windows 95 are no longer supported by Microsoft and are no longer supported by NMMI. Macintosh, UNIX, or Linux operating systems are not supported on the NMMI network or by the NMMI IT staff. Hardware/software installation arrangements should be made with vendors if you are uncomfortable installing it yourself. State law prohibits NMMI Staff from working on personal computers owned by cadets. 3. Monitor sizes are limited to no larger than 21 inches. 4. Microsoft Office 2013 (Word, Excel, Access, etc.) is the campus standard and required software. It is distributed to cadets, at no charge, under NMMI’s Microsoft Campus Wide Agreement. Other word processing software is not required. All computers must have antivirus and antispyware software with upto-date definitions installed to be connected and allowed access to the NMMI network. NMMI does not provide anti-virus or anti-spyware software for cadet personal computers. Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, or AVG is recommended for virus protection. Windows Defender or Ad-Aware are recommended for protection against spyware. 5. Cadets are reminded the cadet network is a shared resource. Actions of one user will affect others. Established standards for computers and network usage (the CAUP) ensure network reliability and fair access for the greatest number of cadets. Network activity is monitored. Abuse of network privileges can result in loss of network access and/or disciplinary action. 6. Questions regarding the computer policy can be directed to Information Systems, Communications, and Technologies (ISCT) at (575) 624-8110 email: [email protected]. Jonathan K. Graff, Jr. Lieutenant Colonel, US Army, (Ret) Commandant of Cadets/Dean of Students Cc: Faculty and Staff NEW MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE 101 West College Boulevard Roswell, New Mexico 88201-5173 575-624-8400 Fax: 575-624-8459 Commandant of cadets Dean of Students 1 June 2016 Memorandum For: Cadets and Parents/Guardians Subject: Policy #4 Storage, Handling, and Distribution of Prescription Medications 1. The purpose of this policy is to identify how prescription medications brought to campus by cadets and those provided by New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) Infirmary are handled and dispensed. During each Academic Year, the Infirmary staff is on duty 24 hours a day. 2. Routine medications brought to campus by cadets: a. Medications that have been prescribed by a cadet’s personal physician, or at the discretion of the Nurse Practitioner and the Health Services Administrator, must be brought to the Infirmary and logged in. These medications include, but are not limited to steroids, liquid antibiotics, muscle relaxers, nicotine patches, and any other medications deemed to have a potential for misuse/abuse. Medications available overthe-counter, such as vitamins, cough medicine, Tylenol, ibuprofen, etc., must also be brought to the Infirmary and logged in. Misuse, abuse, unauthorized possession or sharing of prescription or over-the-counter drugs are a violation of the NMMI Drug Policy, and could result in sanctions up to and including dismissal. b. Notations about the medication, dosage, and prescriber are made by the Infirmary staff. The cadet reads and signs a statement at the bottom of the Log-In form, indicating that they understand how to take the medication that they will not give or sell it to another person, and that misuse of the medication is grounds for disciplinary action that could result in dismissal. Expired medications will be destroyed and annotated by the medical staff. c. The Log-In form also states that the cadet understands that any medication prescribed to them while attending school at NMMI from a provider other than the Nurse Practitioner or the Medical Director must be logged in at the Infirmary and all of the cadet’s questions have been answered. The cadet signs the form and receives a copy to keep with the medication in his/her room. Medications not logged in and found in a cadet room can result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. d. The CMDT’s office is notified daily of any medications missed the previous day. The CMDT’s staff will counsel the individual cadet who is out of compliance with his or her medication regimen and follow up with the parent, cadet, and Infirmary staff. Parents or guardians of High School cadets will be notified by Infirmary staff and TLAs regarding non-compliance issues. Failure to take prescribed medications may require an appearance before a medical review board, possibly resulting in suspension. 3. Narcotics: a. All narcotic medicines are kept locked up in the Infirmary. The cadet is required to come to the Infirmary to take them if he/she is not currently admitted. Besides the obvious abuse potential, it is important for the nursing staff to be able to assess the pain level of the cadet and ascertain whether or not the cadet needs to be further evaluated or if the pain is being adequately treated by the current medication and dosage. b. When the cadet is healed and no longer needs the narcotic, he/she is asked to come to the Infirmary prior to a break in the semester or at semester end and take the medication home, or the medication is destroyed by the pharmacist. c. Narcotics are counted at every shift change and monitored very closely. 4. Mood-Altering Medications and Stimulants: a. These medications are administered by licensed personnel only on a “watch-take” basis because most of these medications are for ADHD and are strictly controlled by the DEA and New Mexico Board of Pharmacy. Besides the potential for abuse, it is important for the nursing staff to continually assess the cadet and bring to the attention of the prescriber any problems or potential problems noted, such as weight loss, lethargy, or inadequate effectiveness of the particular medication. b. A list of cadets taking these types of medications will be made available by the Infirmary staff to Troop Leadership Advisors and Academic Advisors, through the Commandant’s Cadet Counselor. c. The nursing staff also notifies the parents and Health Services Administrator if a cadet has missed more than three doses consecutively. Many of the medications for depression and anxiety cannot be stopped abruptly because of the potential for an adverse reaction. 5. Questions regarding this policy should be addressed through the Commandant’s chain of command starting with the cadet’s Troop Leadership Advisor or directly to Ms. Laurie Pittman, RN CFRN at (575) 624-8235.

New Mexico Military Institute is not responsible for personal property abandoned on post by a cadet. Personal property may include any property left in a barracks room, in any troop storage area, or in contraband storage in the Campus Police department. Cadets and/or parents/guardians must make arrangements for possible temporary storage of property with the TLA/SLA prior to a cadet departure for any reason. Failure to make arrangements for temporary storage results in property identified as abandoned. Suspended or dismissed cadets do not have the privilege of temporary storage. 2. Cadets who abandon NMMI property may be held liable for the item(s) they fail to return. 3. Cadets are responsible for their personal property upon arrival on matriculation day. Cadets are permitted to utilize temporary storage of personal property that is not authorized to be stored in their personal barracks room while enrolled at NMMI. Cadets will coordinate with their assigned Troop Leadership Advisor (TLA) in accordance with current procedures to pack, label, and store property in Troop storage areas (trunk rooms) to include providing an inventory form. 4. In limited cases a cadet may coordinate with his/her TLA for temporary storage of personal property before attending a subsequent semester to include rare occasions where a Break in Service (BIS) may delay return or re-enrollment (e.g. attendance in military training). Early Commissioning Program (ECP) cadets (Army ROTC) should arrange with the Senior Army ROTC Department for temporary storage of military issued equipment in lieu of storage in the barracks. 5. Cadets who depart NMMI without following clearing procedures and leave personal property - or school property - in their assigned room are still responsible for that property. Any property that temporary storage was not arranged for, not claimed or arranged for pick up for return COD or pre-paid, or personally picked up by someone designated by the owner, after all cadets have departed at the end of a school year, will be disposed of.
