New Student Account Log In and Email Addresses

This page explains CNM’s Spring 2026 student email and account migration, including what’s changing and step-by-step instructions on how to log in.

Please reach out to ITS Support with any questions or trouble logging in.

What's Changing?

CNM is moving all student accounts to a new student domain in Spring 2026.

  • Student email addresses will be changed from @cnm.edu to @student.cnm.edu.
  • Usernames and passwords remain the same.
  • See step-by-step instructions below for information about how to log in after your CNM student account has been migrated.
  • Messages sent to @cnm.edu or @student.cnm.edu go to the same inbox until the migration is complete. This alias is active and ready to use, even before an account is migrated.
  • Update accounts, like Spotify, Amazon, or social media, with your new email.
Proposed Migration Schedule

Student account migrations will be scheduled by last name. Please check back for more details and timelines as we approach the Spring Term. Students will receive an email and text prior to account changes.

Students Who Are CNM Employees

Student accounts for employees will be created after all non-employee accounts are migrated.

Employees will have two active accounts after their student account is created:

  • Employee account: @cnm.edu (no @student.cnm.edu alias)
  • Student account: @student.cnm.edu

Why CNM is Making These Changes

  • Improve security: Ensures only the right people have the right access.
  • Clear separation between student and employee accounts.
  • Integration with Workday and other systems for automated account management.
  • Modernize systems for faster, easier access and reduced manual work.

Logging Into a CNM Student Account

  2. Type the email address using the new format: [email protected].
  3. Type the current password. Passwords remain unchanged during the account migration.
  4. If prompted, complete two-factor authentication, to verify your identity.
