Specialized Student IDs

If you are enrolled in specialized classes at CNM (nursing, phlebotomy, etc.), you may be required to get a specialized ID to participate in practicums.

Information about these requirements will be provided by your instructor.

Please call ahead to make sure your instructor has sent the approved list for the current semester. If they haven't, we won't be able to make your ID.

Faculty & Staff IDs

Faculty and staff are required to carry their CNM ID on them at all times while on campus. The ID contains the employee's full name and employee ID number. Faculty and staff that have misplaced their ID card or have had their card stolen must immediately file an incident report to CNM Security Dept. 

Guest Lecturers and Conference Attendees

If you are guest teaching a class or attending a conference on campus and need temporary computer access, your sponsoring school or department can request a guest pass free of charge for the duration of the event.

Contact the ITS Support Center at (505) 224-HELP (4357) or e-mail for more information. In this situation, there may not be a fee and no ID card will be issued.
