Freshman Transfer > Become > Requirements > Alternatives Fall 2008

If you do not satisfy the minimum admission requirements for an undergraduate freshman, you may still be eligible for admission. The information below describes your alternatives for gaining admission.

Admission Alternatives

Option 1

If you’ve been denied admission, you may appeal to the Alternate Admission Committee by submitting:

	One official copy of your ACT and/or SAT test scores If you do not have test scores, or you would like to improve your scores, you may take the ACT residual exam at UNLV
	Two letters of recommendation Letters should be completed by an employer, teacher, organization leader, or other official recommender who is not a friend or relative.
	One personal statement explaining the circumstances for your academic performance.

For more information, please contact the UNLV Office Admissions & Recruitment.

Option 2

Complete additional transferable coursework at a regionally accredited college or university to earn a 2.5 or higher cumulative grade point average on 24 credits.

Please Note: Students with 30 or fewer transfer credits that attend a Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) community college are eligible to apply for a transfer agreement. This agreement guarantees admission to UNLV and transferability of all courses as outlined in the Terms of Agreement.

Additionally, applicants that earn an AA, AS, or ABA at a Nevada System of Higher Education (SNEH) community college with a cumulative 2.0 or higher will be automatically admissible upon application to the university.

Option 3

You may also enroll at UNLV as a non-degree seeking student. Non-degree seeking students may earn a maximum of eight credits per semester. Although there is no limit to the number of credits one may earn as a non-degree seeking student, no more than 24 credits may be applied toward a bachelor's degree upon admission as a full-time student.

Please Note: Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for federal or state financial aid, or campus housing. Advising is only available through the University College advising center. Complete this form to sign up as a nondegree-seeking student.

On the Move

The Office of Admissions & Recruitment has moved to the new Student Services Complex (SSC-B). We are now located off of Tropicana Ave. near the Thomas & Mack Center. Please park in one of the metered spots behind the Student Recreation & Wellness Center and Cox Pavilion.
