General Appeals

You can request an exception to CNM policy if you experience special circumstances beyond your control.

Appeal Process

To submit an appeal, complete the General Appeal Form and attach relevant supporting documentation. Without supporting documentation, your appeal may be denied.

Appeal decisions may take up to six weeks. A decision notification will be sent to your CNM email. If your request is approved, and you are expecting a refund, please allow an additional 3-5 business days for processing. 

All committee decisions are final.
