First Time Student

Congratulations! You are in the final stretch of your high school career, or have already graduated. If you have never attended a college or university, or have fewer than 12 transferrable post-high school credits, we consider you a first-time student and welcome your application!

BE ADMITTED

First Year Admission Requirements:

• Cumulative, unweighted high school GPA of at least 2.0

Successful completion of the following high school coursework:

• four years of English
• two years of science (with at least one lab science)
• three years of social studies
• three years of mathematics; including Algebra I and a course above the level of Algebra I.  Please note that two years of applied algebra count as one year of mathematics toward the requirement

**If you graduate from a Nevada high school, you should automatically meet these requirements.

If you have a high school diploma, but do not meet our coursework and GPA requirements, you may still be admitted pending the approval of the Admissions Review Committee. You will be required to submit a letter and ACT/SAT scores in order to be considered for admission. Please contact our Office of Admissions and Recruitment for additional information.

Applicants with a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) are also reviewed by our Admissions Review Committee. Submit your official transcripts, official copy of your GED, and a personal statement with your application, and the committee will evaluate your level of academic preparedness for college and readiness to be a student, and determine your eligibility based on these factors.
