Financial Aid Direct Deposit

Set up direct deposit for Financial Aid funds.

All students who want to receive their financial aid funds through direct deposit must enter their bank account information in myCNM, even students who are currently signed up for direct deposit.

Students who choose to have their financial aid funds mailed to them need to make sure their address on file with CNM is correct. Check your address in myCNM.
