CNM Policies and Procedures provide essential guidance for academic, administrative, and operational practices across the college. These resources ensure alignment with CNM’s strategic goals, support compliance with legal and regulatory standards, and clear expectations for faculty and staff.

Employee Handbook: Governs all CNM employees, outlining policies each employee is responsible for understanding and following.
