Intersession Courses

What is an Intersession Course?

During the regular break between terms, CNM offers a selection of classes in a condensed format. The classes will provide you with an opportunity to quickly complete a class in order to shorten your time to graduation.

What You Can Expect

• A fast-paced course: the material covered in an intersession course will equal 1 day to 1 week in a regular course.
• Online availability: 80% of the intersession courses are online, which means
  • you can work on your own schedule
  • you need reliable internet access

What You Need to Be Successful

• Time and energy
  • Typical students need to devote 65 to 70 hours per week to the class.
  • You may only register for up to 4-credit hours during the intersession.
• The drive to push through and do well.

Bookstore Deferments

Bookstore deferments are available for students who are enrolled in an intersession course, have a complete and awarded 2023-2024 FAFSA, and are currently in good academic standing for Financial Aid. If you have any questions or do not have a posted bookstore amount, please contact the Financial Aid office at (505) 224-3090.
