To hold your registration, make sure that at least $1 is reflected on your schedule-bill. Your schedule-bill can be accessed through your myCNM Registration tab under the Registration Links section. If you’ll be receiving financial aid, your account should reflect some part of what you’ve been awarded or your $1 payment. If you're not receiving financial aid, you may use the payment plan specifically designed for CNM Online students. Payment arrangements should be confirmed by the Friday following the day you registered for classes.
