Submit Your FAFSA

Complete Your 2025-2026 FAFSA

If you have completed the FAFSA but did not request that a record be sent to CNM, you can still do so.

1. Login to the FAFSA site, click "Add or Delete a School Code" in the FAFSA Follow-Up Step 3 section.
2. Add CNM's Federal School Code: 004742

Adding CNM's school code will ensure that your FAFSA is submitted to CNM automatically.
