Nevada Transfer Agreements
Core curriculum and major transfer agreements
Institutions within the Nevada System of Higher Education provide core and major agreements to facilitate degree completion of students who transfer from Nevada community colleges to the University. The University of Nevada, Reno collaborates with Nevada institutions to create transfer agreements. These agreements help students transition smoothly to the University.
- Core transfer agreements enable students to earn a lower-division core waiver at the University if they complete an Associate of Science, Associate of Arts, or Associate of Business degree. See the University Catalog for more information.
- Major transfer agreements serve as a roadmap for students, helping them choose the right classes for their intended major.
Students must review core and major agreements with their academic advisors to ensure they enroll in the correct classes before transferring to the university. Transfer agreements are not intended to be a contract with the University of Nevada, Reno. The information in this agreement is aligned with the catalog year listed and is subject to change. Please refer to the catalog for the most current curriculum.
