CCNM - Help Us Grow


Office of the Registrar Student records The Office of the Registrar maintains permanent records of each student enrolled at CCNM. A student's record contains their application file, information necessary for the business of the College, grade reports and comments, and records of official action taken by CCNM concerning that student. Records may be made available to members of the faculty and administration with a demonstrated need. Except as may be required by law, no part of a student's record will be released to any person outside CCNM without written consent of the student. Student transcripts The transcript is an official record of all academic and clinic credits earned toward the ND diploma, and lists course title, course code, the number of credit hours and a numerical or letter grade for all courses taken. One unofficial copy of the transcript is provided to each student free of charge. Official transcripts are available at $10 each. Official transcripts may only be released to educational institutions, licensing boards or potential employers whom the student has authorized to receive the transcript. Students may not have access to official transcripts. Transcripts are not released if the student has any outstanding financial obligations to the College. Withdrawal Students who withdraw from CCNM for any reason must give written notice to the Student Services Department. Any tuition refunds or remaining financial obligations to the College will be determined from the date that this notice is received. Failure to attend for 10 consecutive class days without notice will be deemed to constitute a withdrawal from the College. If a student does not return within one year from the time of withdrawal, a new application for admission must be submitted. Readmission Students who withdraw from CCNM are permitted to resume study within a maximum of one year from the date of withdrawal. Students dismissed for academic reasons are required to demonstrate that they have upgraded their skills by means of successful performance in an academic setting or by satisfying the College that any previous barriers to successful academic performance have been addressed and eliminated. Requirements for graduation Candidates for the ND diploma must fulfill the following requirements to graduate: 1. Attend and pass all courses in the prescribed curriculum and achieve the required grade of 70 per cent in each course; 2. Attend the required number of hours in clinical training, and fulfill all other requirements of the clinical program with a passing grade; 3. Satisfy all financial obligations to CCNM.
