N.M. Stat. § 21-1-4.1

Educational institutions under the exclusive control of the state shall forgive any tuition payments owed by residents of New Mexico enrolled as part-time or full-time students when the student is conscripted, deployed to a remote duty location, or is called into active service as a member of the military reserves or national guard on or after August 1, 1990. Forgiveness of tuition payments under this section shall apply only to tuition payments owed for the semester when a student is conscripted, deployed or called to active military service. When a student has made tuition payments in part or in whole at the time of his conscription, deployment or call to active military service on or after August 1, 1990, the educational institution in receipt of those payments shall give the student a credit for the full amount of the payments when the student re-enrolls in that educational institution at a future date.
