Registering for Classes

How to Register for Classes

To register for classes, you will use MyNEVADA.

If a class requires "department consent", you will need to contact the department directly for permission to enroll. Special requests for pre-requisite or full course overrides will also go directly to the department. Once the department electronically grants permission, you may register within MyNEVADA as usual.

Up through the end of the drop/add period each term, you may add, drop, or swap classes in MyNEVADA. If you have any problems using MyNEVADA, check out the MyNEVADA help section.

Enrollment Appointment Schedule

Registering for classes is based upon your standing at the university and your last name. with enrollment appointments being randomly assigned within each standing level. Check your MyNEVADA to find your individual enrollment appointment. The Open Enrollment Date signals the end of Enrollment Appointments with registration available for all students. For an overview of enrollment appointment blocks, check the schedule.
