Submit Your 2021-2022 FAFSA

The 2021-2022 FAFSA will be available beginning on October 1, 2020. The FAFSA for the 2021-2022 academic year will use tax information from the 2019 tax year, which are the taxes typically filed on or before April 15, 2020.  There is no need to wait until after you file taxes like in previous years to fill out your 2021-2022 FAFSA.

Complete Your FAFSA

If you have completed the FAFSA but did not request that a record be sent to CNM, you can still do so. Login to the FAFSA site, click "Add or Delete a School Code" in the FAFSA Follow-Up Step 3 section and add CNM's Federal School Code (004742).
