Effective fall 2009, Course Overfill Cards (orange cards) will no longer be used at CNM. If your are trying to register for distance learning class that is full you will now have the option to be placed on a course waiting list. Students will be able to do this through the normal registration process in myCNM. Students will be contacted by e-mail if a spot in their desired class opens up and will have 24 hours to register. In addition, if a new section of the class is added, students will be contacted by phone. The waitlist will be in effect until the first day of class. For more information, students can go to the Registration/Grades tab in myCNM. Note: classes with special enrollment restrictions do not have waitlists.
-
Pay particular attention to the course instructions since the Attendance Policy is strictly enforced in all classes - even the online ones.
