About the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe

The University of Nevada, Reno began operations at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe on July 1, 2022, after entering into an agreement to acquire Sierra Nevada University.

Our key priority in the initial years after the acquisition is ensure that former SNU students have the opportunity complete their degrees under a teach-out agreement approved by the NWCCU. We've developed a wealth of resources for teach-out students

We are pleased that in partnership with SNU we are able to continue all of the important community programs that bring individuals onto campus and allow them to engage with arts, speakers and more. 

We will begin the process of developing a three to five year plan for the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe that will ensure the orderly transition of operations, a clear path to degree completion for former SNU students, and fleshing out our long-term academic plans, namely to include growth in research and creative activities.
