Step 1: Required Documents for Admission

Transcripts Applicants with international academic work can use Scholaro to estimate their U.S. GPA calculation. While Scholaro can provide an approximate representation of your converted U.S. GPA, it does not replace the comprehensive evaluation of academic coursework conducted by the UNLV Office of Admissions. Our GPA calculation and credential equivalency review are still essential in the admission process. UNLV's evaluation may differ from the results generated by this tool.

Please see the Materials Submission section at the bottom of the page for acceptable methods of sending transcripts and other application-related documents.

• High School Transcript –

  • Submit your high school transcript (includes all high school coursework and grades).
  • A certified translation is required for any transcript not written in English.
• College/University Transcript(s)-
  • Submit your official transcripts from all previously attended colleges or universities where college-level credits were earned (either while in high school or after graduating high school).
  • UNLV provides in-house credential evaluations of academic coursework. However, UNLV will accept a course-by-course evaluation from any NACES member agency in replacement of or in lieu of our in-house evaluation.
  • Transcripts must be provided in a PDF format and must include the institutional/grading key page.
  • Credentials not in English must be accompanied by a word-for-word English translation certified as true by a university official, an official representative of a United States embassy or consulate, the United States Information Service, the United States Education Foundation, or an approved professional translating service. Translations must bear the signature of the translator and be accompanied by original language documents.
  • The applicant will also be required to provide the grading scale of the foreign institution they attended.

Submit Proof of English Proficiency

For general admission to UNLV, international students must provide proof of English proficiency. Visit the English Proficiency page to review accepted English proficiency tests, scores, and other ways to satisfy English proficiency requirements.

Step 2: Supplemental Documents after Application Submission
