When they update your student status/evaluation summary, they'll declare you CPNE-eligible, and you'll be able to apply here:

Don't wait for them to approach you, you have to apply when you are ready, can pay for it, or make payment plan arrangements. If you wait around, you will never get on the waiting list.

You can't pay until they update your status and tell you that your CPNE eligible. It doesn't take long.

I made my comment because it wasn't clear to me that it was time for me to make a move and apply. I was, like, waiting around for a golden invitation, which never came. Then I got on the ball and made an effort to get the ball rolling. If I was in limbo, I imagine others could be delayed also, waiting for the process to start on the other end, especially when money is tight. When we have the money to pay for it, it kind of puts us in the "raring to go" mode.
