• Session 1: May 18
• Session 2: June 9

Offset (Swap) Policy

This policy applies only to courses in which you have registered and for which you have paid all fees.

During the first week of a course, you may drop that course and add another of equal credits and receive an offset (swap) of fees providing:

• Both courses have the same Late Payment period, and
• You have received Time Period Permission from the department of the new class, and
• You complete the Late Swap form on the Rebel Success Hub to request the offset (swap).

Online registration will not automatically offset fees. Failure to complete the late swap form may void the offset and result in penalties.

Summer term policies are different from fall and spring. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the add/drop dates and payment deadlines to avoid late fee penalties. The student is responsible to have their course fees paid in full by the due dates and will be responsible for all applicable late fees.

Reinstatement

If you have been dropped from a course for non-payment, you may be re-enrolled into the course if you have met the following conditions:

• The course must be available for enrollment;
• It must be before the end of the 50% refund period;
• You must pay all applicable fees, including a $75 reinstatement fee.

Appeal Guidelines

It is the student's responsibility to familiarize themselves with Summer Term registration policies and procedures. Failure to do so is not a basis for filing an appeal. Change of instructor, change in financial aid status, change of work schedule, or first time attendance during a session is also not grounds for filing an appeal.

Purpose of an Appeal

Appeals are for requesting relief or waiver from a UNLV Summer Term policy. It is your responsibility to provide a clear and concise statement of your request and to provide all relevant documentation you wish the Tuition and Fee Committee to review.

Before Your Submit an Appeal

If you received financial aid or veteran's educational benefits, contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office and/or the Military and Veteran Services Center before submitting your appeal. If your petition is approved, there may be negative financial or eligibility repercussions (ex: repayment).

Appeal Review Process

Each appeal is reviewed individually and the decision will be based on the merits of the appeal and the documentation provided to the Tuition and Fee Committee. Your appeal will not be reviewed by the committee until all the requested documentation has been received. It is your responsibility to ensure your appeal and all documentation are received.

Required Documentation
