Academic Affairs
Mission Statement
The Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and its units support the core educational mission of UNLV of delivering high-quality academic programs and engaging educational experiences to all students. The office does so by facilitating the design and approval of quality programs, continuous curriculum improvement through program review, academic course and degree assessment, and oversight of the university’s regional and discipline-specific accreditation processes. The office strives to ensure the accessibility of digital materials, services, and environments to create a more inclusive educational experience. The office’s responsibilities also include educational compliance, workforce development, evaluation of institutional policies, and providing resources and services to encourage international study.
The office is a core part of the Executive Vice President & Provost’s (EVP&P) team and provides strategic input, advice, and support to the EVP&P to advance our university mission.
Credit for Prior Learning
Your knowledge and experience may be worth college credit. Through Credit for Prior Learning, UNLV evaluates college-level learning gained through exams, military education and training, professional certifications, workplace training, apprenticeships, and other experiences outside the classroom.
Earning credit for what you already know may help you save time and money, avoid repeating material you have already mastered, and make faster progress toward your degree.
