Kids’ College Afterschool
Kids’ College Afterschool is a program designed with both parents and children in mind. Kids, aged 6 - 12, can complete their daily homework and chat with friends, and parents can take comfort in the safe and secure environment provided by ENMU.
Children are to be dropped off in between 3 - 3:30 p.m. at the Family and Consumer Science building. For those parents who work on campus, arrangements can be made in advance with the bus company, but once 801 Housing is reoccupied, the availability of Bus 3,
which stops at Eastern, may disappear. The City of Portales provides reasonably priced transportation from the schools, to our program,
so contact City Hall if this is an option for your family.
The afternoon will start off with a relaxing snack time, 10 - 15 minutes in length. Once the kids finish, they will move into homework time, where the fantastic counselors will assist the children in finishing all their homework assigned on that day. This saves parents the worry of checking their child’s work after a long day of work themselves.
The leftover time will be devoted to the activities kids have come to enjoy throughout the years of the summer program. Pick up time will be extended to 5:30 p.m. to grant those parents that may work later, or who may have a long commute, a few extra minutes.
Enrollment is limited and pre-payment confirms the spot, so register as soon as possible to secure a semester of after school fun for your child. Headquarters for this semester is the Family and Consumer Science building. A specialized, detailed Kids’ College Registration Form (available at Distance Ed, Education, Room 102) must be completed for each child and will include signature of parental consent, as well as disclosure of any child’s known allergic (peanuts, bee stings, eggs etc.) or other medical condition (asthma, seizures, diabetes, etc.) for which counselors need to be prepared.
General registration begins: Thursday, Dec. 1, 9 a.m.

Phlebotomy Technique Training
Lecture and clinical lab will be included in this intensive accredited phlebotomy technique training course with Mike Blankenship, American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) certified medical technologist. All aspects of drawing and processing laboratory specimens and rules and precautions featuring infection prevention will be presented in a controlled environment.
This program consists of 40 lecture hours at ENMU-Portales plus 120 hours of clinical laboratory experience (clinical rotation) at the Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis (or others to be arranged). It will help prepare students to take the ASCP exam for certification as a Phlebotomy Technician (PBT). Students who successfully complete this course will receive a completion certificate from ENMU. However, job placement is not guaranteed, and students are encouraged to take the nationally recognized ASCP certification exam (must be arranged and paid for by the student). The cost for the ASCP PBT certification exam is currently $125, and the closest testing sites are Albuquerque, Amarillo or Lubbock.
Please note that our clinical affiliates now require an acceptable criminal background check (conducted by the N.M. Departments of Health and Public Safety, CCHSP, including both nationwide and statewide screening) on all phlebotomy students who will enter into a clinical rotation. The state of New Mexico also requires an acceptable criminal background check before a job applicant can be hired as a phlebotomist, regardless of the employer (public or private). For a listing of felony convictions which disqualify an applicant or caregiver from employment, contractual services, or student placement with a care provider, go online to the New Mexico Department of Health Caregivers Criminal History Screening Requirements Form, and scroll to page 6, section 7.1.9.11 “Disqualifying Convictions, A through H”.
Students must register for this course in person at Distance Education, Education Building Room 102 (please phone to schedule an appointment) and they must bring with them the following: proof of high school diploma or GED, presentation of photographic identification (driver’s license or passport) and social security card (or equivalent document) and payment of the $475 course fee (by cash, or check to ENMU, or credit card) in order to guarantee space in the class.
In addition, students must submit the following before 5 p.m. on the date of the first lecture class meeting: completed fingerprint cards
(three full sets), and payment ($65 by United States Postal Service [USPS] money order only, made out to CCHSP [Caregivers Criminal History Screening Program], which can be purchased at a local post office with cash, debit card or traveler’s check for a fee of $1.05).
The cost for fingerprinting is $5 per card (cash or check, three cards for $15, nonrefundable). The mandatory meeting will be discussed with each student at her/his initial registration appointment with Distance Education. All students who register for the course will be required to make arrangements on their own to have three sets of fingerprints collected at the Clovis (or other) local police station, using blank FBI cards to be provided by Distance Education. If a student cannot supply fingerprints due to a medical or physical condition, a signed affidavit is required.
Please be aware that class scheduling is subject to change after publication, and that Distance Education may find it necessary to cancel the course, for unforeseen reasons. Registration will begin Dec. 1 at 9 a.m.
Before a student may enter their clinical rotation (tentatively estimated to begin during the second or third week of the semester), they must provide proof of specific immunizations (TB skin test within previous year, immunity to both measles and German measles [Rubella], and immunity to Hepatitis B or immunization for Hepatitis B or medical documentation of positive infection status with Hepatitis B). Please note that if a student needs to receive a Hepatitis B vaccine, the cost can be as high as $100 per injection (total of three injections, each two months apart, so total cost could be $300). Unvaccinated students may only have time to receive the first injection before beginning their clinical rotation, and proof of that first injection is sufficient to allow student entrance into the clinical rotation. All immunization proof must be submitted to Distance Education before a clinical rotation can begin.
Additionally, before beginning clinical rotation, students must purchase liability insurance (options will be discussed at the first lecture class meeting). Reasonably priced liability insurance can be purchased online, with annual premiums for students as low as approximately $40. Proof of acceptable liability insurance must be submitted to Distance Education before a clinical rotation can begin. Furthermore, at the time of registration and at the first lecture class meeting, students will be required to sign various documents, including but not limited to agreements for medical records confidentiality, non-discrimination, limits of liability, and clinical dress code.
Because this course is non-credit (certificate only), most scholarship and college financial aid programs do not apply; however, students may seek financial assistance through the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (for eligibility information phone 575.763.3437), or the New Mexico Workforce Connection under the Workforce Investment Act/WIA (for eligibility information contact the Curry County One Stop Career Center, 575.763.3155, or the Portales One Stop Career Center, 575.356.4720). Although most of the costs of this phlebotomy program are eligible under WIA, a student cannot be reimbursed (federal regulations) for the costs of a criminal background check ($65) or for the cost of fingerprinting ($15) because the results could eliminate her/him from the program.
If a student officially withdraws from this course after the first lecture class meeting but before 5 p.m. on the date of the second lecture class, then she/he will receive 100 percent refund of the course fee ($475), and the USPS money order for a CCHSP background check will be returned to the student. In order to receive a refund from the USPS for the printed value of the money order, a student must have retained the USPS purchase receipt; (the USPS fee of $1.05 for issue of money order is non-refundable). Purchase of textbooks, supplies, uniforms, and all costs related to immunizations and liability insurance are solely the responsibility of the student and will not be reimbursed by ENMU under any circumstances (except as contracted with N.M. Workforce Connection/WIA or Vocational Rehab). This policy will apply even if Distance Education needs to change the course schedule or cancel the course, and also will apply if a student officially withdraws from the course (by choice or necessity), or if a student does not successfully complete the course and/or is terminated from the course due to disciplinary action or discovery of criminal disqualification. Also, any costs or losses incurred by the student for transportation/food/housing, or contracting child care, or reduction in work hours, or finance charges on loans/bank accounts, etc., are the student’s personal responsibility and will not be reimbursed by ENMU under any circumstances. The cost to have fingerprints taken by local police is nonrefundable.
If a student officially withdraws from this course after the second lecture class meeting but before 5 p.m. on the date of the third lecture class, then they will receive a 75 percent refund of the course fee, but no refund will be given for the CCHSP background check. If a student is denied enrollment (or must be removed from the ongoing course) because of information discovered in the criminal background check, then a full refund of the course fee ($475) will be given, regardless of the date of such discovery within the semester for which the student was registered. There will be no other refunds given after 5 p.m. on the date of the third lecture class meeting.
In order to officially withdraw from this course and/or request a refund, a student must notify the department secretary or coordinator in Distance Education, either in person or by telephone (575.562.2165), and must notify the instructor, Mike Blankenship, either in person or by telephone. Refunds are made in the form of a check from the business office, and processing usually takes 10 - 14 days. Students will be required to sign a letter at the time of initial registration in the Education building, acknowledging that they have read and understand the refund policy for this course.

Museum Exhibits: Building Effective Museum Exhibits
In this course, we will go through a compressed, abbreviated version of the basic exhibit development and design process. All of the assignments will relate to the design of an exhibit for your institution, beginning with brainstorming and ending with a basic design, more or less ready to be installed. During the course, we will be loosely working in the following stages:
- Pre-Design and Preliminary Design
- Schematic Design
Design Development
These mirror the phases an exhibit design project is likely to go through, but since we’ll be creating an “artificial” exhibit, and doing it very quickly, we’ll be more flexible about the order in which we do things. At the end of each of our mini-phases, we will devote a week to reviewing and critiquing each other’s work. You will go through the assignments your classmates have uploaded and offer your own comments and suggestions.
