Overview

Financial Information

• Scholarships and Financial Aid:
  Although primary responsibility for educational costs rests with the student and his or her family, CNM, the federal government and the State of New Mexico all contribute to assist students pursuing a higher education. Students applying for Financial Aid should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
• Tuition and Fees:
  Tuition is charged according to a student's residency status (see below) and the number and type of credit hours carried. Contact the Cashier's Office for all questions regarding tuition charges.

Information for Transfer In Students

• Credit For Life Experience:
  You may be allowed to establish credit for courses based on life and work experience and/or prior training. Because opportunities to establish such credit vary by division, students interested in this option should contact their academic division.

• Interview:
  An interview and/or demonstration of competence may be required before the decision regarding credit is made.
