Get Started

Propose a New Program to UNLV

For programs new to UNLV, please visit Academic Programs Action and Processes and fill out the pre-proposal form as your first step in the process. 

Add a Fully Online Option to an Existing Program

For existing programs that wish to add a fully online option, please submit a Program Change form in Curriculog.

Note: Undergraduate programs will be required to submit an Online Course Carousel as part of the Curriculog proposal process. The course carousel will ensure that courses are offered in a sequence optimized for recruitment, enrollment and progression towards graduation.
