Transferring to UNLV

you can call UNLV and get a list of pre req's needed. they may even have some info on their web site

You may also be able to get a hold of one of their counsellors and provide a copy of your transcripts for them to review for credit towards their pre-reqs. This may require that you officially apply, though. Worth a shot.

Thanks guys,

I also found this in the UNLV website.

Its basically a system that shows whats transferable from other schools to UNLV. Wish i had known this earlier, i just found out one of my classes is not going to be accepted. I will officially apply and see what i can do to get em waived. Im going to need all the credits i can get.

You can always appeal to have your classes accepted. I did & it worked, they accepted my classes. See your advisor (once you get accepted to UNLV) & find out what form you need to fill out. I had 3 classes that they accepted (we moved from AZ).

When I transferred to UNLV 3 years ago, I had to petition for classes to be accepted and they eventually were.

oh really? how would i go about doing that?:selfbonk:

Depending on which classes are not accepted, you need to contact that department. The department chair has to look at whether or not it should be transferred.

There were students in my class that had some issues in the final semester with classes that had supposedly been accepted causing problems when graduation packets were submitted. Hopefully, the issues with the pre-admit advisors have been cleared up, but I would advise you to be aware of this even after you move from the "pre-nursing" to "nursing" major.

This is why the School of Nursing requires students to apply for graduation the beginning of their 3rd semester, so if it comes up that you need to take other classes, you can do so your 4th semester.

Thankfully they got rid of a horrible pre-nursing advisor who essentially screwed students over because she was lazy with her work.

So i know now that i can challenge my classes to be transfered, which somewhat brings my stress level down. So it comes to this. How easy is it to get into UNLV as a transfer student with 24 transferable credits with a 3.5 gpa? My plan is to apply before winter break for the fall semester of 09 in UNLV.

You will easily get into UNLV, but you still have a few semesters (probably 3) before you are able to apply to the nursing program.

So if there are some classes that will not transfer, you will still have time to retake classes before applying to the nursing program (hopefully you can get them all transferred though).

Sweet! my wife spoke to the nursing advisor there, and she was really helpful. With that being said, im going to keep my hopes up and pray that i get accepted, that way i can get out the military early!

i appreciate the help guys.

This site rocks!
