Important Note for Graduate, Non-Degree Students Seeking Formal Admission:

Students can take up to nine (9) credits as a non-degree seeking student at UNLV, which with the initial program advisor's consent can be applied to the student's master's program of study, once admitted into the program. The 9 credits must carry grades of B or higher. Please be aware that this policy is more restrictive than the one stated by the Graduate College, which allows non-degree graduate students to transfer up to 15 UNLV credits with grades of B or higher into a degree program, with consent. The more restrictive 9- credit transfer policy was enacted by the faculty of the program in Higher Education Leadership to encourage students to not take too many credits under the non-degree status without the assurance of formal admission into the program.

No more than 12 credits can be transferred into the program from another institution and these credits cannot have satisfied the requirements of another degree. Transfer credits must be approved by the program adviser.
