Admission Requirements - Transfer Student

This page describes the admission requirements for undergraduate transfer students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Students applying as undergraduate transfer students must meet the minimum requirements listed below.

1. Fulfill the definition of an undergraduate transfer student at UNLV:

UNLV defines transfer students as those who have earned 24 or more transferable credits from a regionally accredited college and/or university upon application to UNLV. Applicants with less than 24 transferable credits are considered to be freshman transfer students.
2. Have at least a 2.3 grade point average (GPA) to be considered for admission. Most UNLV academic colleges prefer students to enter with a 2.3 to 2.5 minimum GPA.

Please note that the transfer admission requirements will increase to a 2.5 in 2008.

If these requirements do not describe you, visit the admissions page and select a category that more closely relates to you.

NOTE: Once you are admitted, your academic department will make a determination on how your transferable courses will fit into your degree program. Transferable courses are defined as college credit earned at a regionally accredited school and are NOT listed as religious, remedial, or vocational. While there is no limit to the number of credits you may transfer, be aware that half of the credits required for a baccalaureate degree must be earned at a four-year institution.

Admission Alternatives
If you do not meet the requirements described above, review the admission alternatives available to you.
