All students now have a new email address ending in @student.cnm.edu!

The temporary alias allowing emails sent to either @cnm.edu or @student.cnm.edu to reach the same inbox ended on March 12. Messages sent to students @cnm.edu will no longer be delivered.

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

For immediate assistance, call (505) 224-HELP (4357).

What's Changed

  • Student email addresses have been 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 using the new account.
  • Update accounts, like Spotify, Amazon, or social media, with your new email address.

Why CNM Made 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.

Students Who Are CNM Employees

Student accounts for employees enrolled in courses were created on March 12. They now have two active accounts:

  • Employee account: [username]@cnm.edu
  • Student account: [username]@student.cnm.edu

See Student Account Log In for Employees for more details.
