Obtaining Access to HAFB

Please carefully read the procedure below. Registering for an NMSU-A class held at HAFB does not automatically allow you to have access to the base. Accessing the base to attend a class is a privilege granted to you by HAFB, and a procedure is in place to apply for access. If you have any questions please contact the HAFB Learning Center at (575) 479-4318.

Required Documentation

These documents can also be obtained from the Admissions Office on the NMSU-A Campus. You may submit your completed forms to the Admissions Office or fax them directly to the HAFB Learning Center at 575-479-9516.

Procedure

  1. After registering for a class, fill out and submit a Base Access Request Form and Background Check Consent Form which you can download in PDF Format or obtain from the Admissions Office on the NMSU-A Campus. You may submit your completed forms to the Admissions Office or fax them directly to the HAFB Learning Center at 575-479-9516. The earlier you sign up for a HAFB class and submit the forms the easier it is to get your pass. Upon receipt of your completed forms a “tracking number” will be made by the HAFB Visitor’s Center. Please note that The Security Forces Squadron (SFS) will conduct a background check, which will take seven (7) days to process.
  2. At least two days before the first day of class you must contact the NMSU-A/HAFB Coordinator at 575-479-4318 to obtain your tracking number. You will not be able to obtain your pass until the day class starts.
  3. In order to obtain your base pass for the term you are registered for, you must provide the following at the HAFB Visitor’s Center, which is located outside the base main gate. Hours of operation are from 7:00 AM to 3:45 PM, Monday through Thursday. You must go to the Visitor’s Center during these hours. There are no exceptions.
    • Valid driver’s license with picture
    • Valid vehicle registration
    • Proof of valid vehicle insurance
    • Your tracking number

Please note that you will only be issued an access pass for one term at a time. No 2nd 8-week access passes will be issued at the beginning of the 1st 8-week session. If you plan to take an additional HAFB class during the 2nd 8-week session you will need to repeat this procedure.

The NMSU-A/HAFB Coordinator will not sponsor you for a base access pass without having obtained proof of registration from the Admissions Office on the NMSU-A Campus or for failure to follow the above mentioned procedures.

If you register for classes late and have not obtained a tracking number you will still have to follow the procedure listed above and will still have to wait the seven days for processing. You will not be able to have base access until you have received your tracking number from the NMSU-A/HAFB Coordinator.
