Transfer Students
Transfer Links
Transfer students are heartily welcomed into the Nevada family.
Many Nevada students began their collegiate careers at other institutions. And because of the independent spirit found in the student body, transfer students easily adapt to the campus community.
Though the requirements differ slightly, the application process for transfer students is almost identical to that of new students:
Admission Requirements
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 (from Nevada institutions)
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.
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.

Core Transfer Agreements
Important Notice: If you know your major area of study, please refer to the major-to-major agreements. The General Core Agreements provide broad information and course selection within each area should be made in conjunction with advising from the transfer center. This is essential as, there are variations in math, social science, natural science and diversity requirements for many majors. For example, if you self-advise on the math requirement and take a math which may satisfy the core curriculum for one major, it may NOT satisfy the requirement for another major.
Reverse Transfer Process:
Students who transfer from one of Nevada's four community colleges to the University of Nevada before completing an associate degree have the option of applying credits they earned at the state college or university toward the associate degree. This process is known as a reverse transfer.
To qualify, the student must have been previously enrolled at a Nevada community college and earned at least 15 credits at that community college before transferring to the university or state college. Once at the university or state college, the student must have accumulated at least 60 college level credits.
Students who believe they are eligible for reverse transfer should contact the community college they previously attended.
