Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes
A student’s residency classification for tuition purposes is based on information provided at the time of admission or readmission. Residency classifications are
(1) NM Resident who lives in the CNM tax district,
(2) NM Resident who lives outside of the CNM tax district and
(3) Non-NM Resident.
See the current tuition table above for rates based on residency classification.
In general, to be a resident of New Mexico for tuition purposes, a financially independent person over 18 years of age must have resided in New Mexico for a period of 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the term, have declared in writing his/her intent to be a NM resident, and must have two overt acts to support the written declaration of intent (with no out-of-state overt acts ).
The Cashier's office at the Main and Montoya campuses disburse checks for loans, grants, scholarships, and other financial aid awards each term.
