While our office staff can assist you with quick questions, form drop off and pick up, and registration issues, it is necessary to make an appointment to meet with your advisor to develop a plan of study, complete petitions, perform a degree check and graduation application because the advisor needs to prepare for your meeting by conducting a complete review of your academic record. They will work to update your file with everything that has occurred since your last advising appointment to be sure they fully understand your situation. This way, they can help you to head off problems and roadblock to graduation and ensure that you remain on track for graduation.

Call the Office for Student Advising (OSA) to make an appointment. Have your NSHE ID ready when you call.

Remember that the registration period is a very high traffic time for the OSA and can result in a 3-4 week wait for a meeting with your advisor. If you can’t get in before it is your turn to register, refer to your last advising plan. Your advisor would have given you suggestions on what to take for the next registration period. If you don’t have it, you can stop into the OSA and our staff will make a copy of your last advising plan as well as a copy of your worksheet. That way, you can register when it’s your turn, then your advisor can review your choices during your appointment and let you know if any adjustments are necessary.

You can check your MyUNLV Student Center to get your exact registration dates, but below is a general idea of when registration begins each semester.

• Fall – Mid to Late April
• Spring – November
• Summer – Early March
