After Applying
Submit your Official Transcripts and Test Scores
- High School Transcript – If you did not self-report your high school classes and grades in the UNLV application, you must submit your official high school transcript.

After submitting your application, you will receive two emails, one with your MyUNLV NSHE ID number and another with your temporary password. Check your MyUNLV account regularly.
Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships

Students who complete the Institutional Aid Application are also required to complete the FAFSA when it becomes available
- FAFSA — Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using our school code 002569 to receive consideration for both need-based aid and merit scholarships.
- Alternate Need Form — Non-FAFSA eligible students only need to complete the Alternate Need Form to apply for both institutional need-based grants and scholarships.
