APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please print this page to use as the checklist for your application process

Application for admission to the Justice Management Program includes application to the University of Nevada, Reno Graduate School and therefore involves a two-step process as detailed below. Applications are accepted:

Start date:	Application deadline:
January (3rd week) May (3rd week) August (4th week)	December 1 April 1 July 1

Admission to the UNR Graduate School requires an undergraduate grade-point average of at least 2.75 on a scale of 4.0, or an average of at least 3.0 for courses taken during the last half of the undergraduate program, and a completed baccalaureate degree from an appropriately accredited institution. (If your GPA does not meet this criteria, admission to graduate standing on a prescribed program may be considered. Alternatively, an applicant may take a limited number of courses - with permission from the Justice Management program - as a Graduate Special. This status does not guarantee admission to the program, but allows a student to demonstrate that he or she can satisfactorily perform graduate level work.) To apply as a graduate special, please follow this link.

Scores of standardized tests such as the GRE are not required for application to the Master of Justice Management program.

Step 1 - Application to Graduate School at UNR

If you plan to start courses as a regular graduate student at UNR, follow the instructions below:

1. You will be required to complete a graduate school application online. To start, you will be required to “Create my account” and establish a password. Follow the link below to create that account. https://www.applyweb.com/public/newuser.pl?unr
   
   
2. After you have created an account, complete the “Graduate School" application at:
   https://www.applyweb.com/cgi-bin/app?unrg
   
   You can work on your application, save it, make revisions later if you wish, and then submit it electronically. You must submit that application and payment of application fees ($60 for new students, $40 for UNR alumni) electronically.
   
   
3. After you application is complete, request ONE official transcripts from the Registrar’s Office at EVERY post-secondary school you’ve attended (community college, university, etc.). Official transcripts are those sent directly from the institution attended: personal copies or “issued to student” are not acceptable even if they are in sealed envelopes.
   
   Please send ONE set of the official transcript copies to:
   
   University of Nevada, Reno
   Graduate School
   Mail Stop 326
   Reno, NV
   89557-0326
   Attn: Lisa Oliveto
   
   *NOTE - when completing the “Graduate School" application in step #2 above, the graduate school states to send TWO official transcript copies to the graduate school directly. This is not correct. Please send only ONE copy to the graduate school. If you have any questions, please call the graduate school directly at: 775-784-6869

General Information about the Graduate Special Application can be found on the UNR applications web page: http://www.ss.unr.edu/apply/
