Welcome to CMC Spring Valley and congratulations on your admission.

Do I need to attend New Student Advising & Class Registration (NSAR)?

Transfer students and returning CMC students (excluding high school dual-enrollment) and students who are not looking to earn a degree or certificate do not need to attend New Student Advising & Class Registration. These students can call our front desk at 970-947-8200 to schedule an advising appointment with a college counselor.

All accepted and admitted Nursing and Colorado Law Enforcement Training Academy (CLETA) students will register for their classes during their program orientations and therefore these students also do not need to attend New Student Advising & Class Registration.
