Non-degree Intensive Language via Distance Education (DEIL) • Guide & Application Form
	What is Intensive Language by Distance Education?
New Mexico State University makes several programs available to non-NMSU students wishing to earn graded credit for intensive study of Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Japanese. Graded credit (A-F, S/U) is issued by NMSU for beginning (100 level) and intermediate (200-300 level) courses. NOTE: PORTUGUESE 113 is graded S/U only. Students will contract with the course instructor who uses a WebCT course for orientation and language skill evaluation to determine placement level. Then students accepted into the program travel to the cooperating institution abroad to pursue intensive instruction and integration in local culture. Course progress is monitored by e-mail correspondence, and at the end of the formal instruction the student returns to WebCT to take an exam and fill out a final evaluation. 60% of the student's grade is based on on-line work with the instructor.
	Eligibility
College students who are not currently attending NMSU may apply as long as they are in good standing academically (not on suspension or probation) at their current university or the last institution attended. Students need to receive permission from their current university to transfer NMSU credit to their university. High School graduates who have not attended a university may apply to this non-degree program, but the credits and grades earned may not be used to meet admission requirements to enroll in a NMSU degree program. Since students are not accompanied by NMSU instructors, students must possess the maturity of character and work ethic to succeed in a self-directed program. Students must comply with NMSU's pre-departure orientation requirements.
