Dual Credit Enrollment Process

New Dual Credit Students:

1. Apply to CNM.
        Online

• Complete the online admission process.
• Complete CNM’s online new student orientation. You will be unable to register until you have completed the online orientation.

        In- person at any CNM Admissions Office.

• Print the HS Aged Programs Admission Form and instructions and submit the completed form to any CNM Admissions Office.
• Complete CNM’s online new student orientation. You will be unable to register until you have completed the online orientation.

2. Take Accuplacer (or get a copy of your ACT or SAT scores). Then, bring your scores to
     meet with a CNM advisor to review your testing outcome and discuss course options.

3. Meet with your high school counselor to discuss the Dual Credit Program. Review the CNM
    Catalog and Schedule of Classes for policies and program and course information.  Bring the
    Approval & Registration form you printed from your online admission or a paper Approval
   & Registration form.

            Dual Credit students can register for up to 18 credit hours per term and for courses
            numbered 1000 and above only. Students will be removed from courses numbered
            below 1000 and courses added after the 18 credit limit.

Your school will have final approval for course selection each term. Though you can register for classes on-line, should your high school not approve the course, you may be dropped from the class.   See the School Districts link on the Program Requirements page or contact CNM's High School Relations at 224-4238 if you need the name and contact information for the coordinator at your high school.
