Admission Requirements
Transfer students follow the same application procedure as all other students. To be accepted as a transfer student, you need:
Transfer Credits
A minimum of 24 transferable semester college credits.
While there's no limit to the number of credits which may transfer, at least half of the total number of credits required for the bachelor's degree must be earned at an accredited four-year institution. Thirty-two upper division credits must be earned in residence at the University of Nevada, Reno.
2.5 Cumulative Grade-Point Average
Students must have a minimum 2.5 GPA in all coursework.
Associates Degree (for Nevada students)
Students who graduate from an NSHE institution with an Associates of arts, Associates of business, or Associates of science will be guaranteed admissions and meet the university's core requirements.
Alternate Admission option
If you do not meet the requirements, you can apply for admission under special admissions. If you show evidence of potential for success through a combination of test scores and GPA, or special talents, such as visual or performing arts or athletics then you may be granted admission through special consideration.
Admission Deadlines
Students should apply early. February 1st is the priority deadline for scholarship consideration and June 1st is the final application deadline. For students who wish to start in the spring semester November 1st is the priority deadline for scholarship consideration and January 10th, 2012 is the final deadline.
