- Verify the costs for a 3-credit course using the undergraduate tuition rates on the Tuition Estimator. Please note that UNLV is developing new dual enrollment tuition rates for Fall 2022.
- Apply as a non-degree-seeking student (ASC Dual Enrollment Program). There is a $30 application fee. You should apply at least two weeks before the start of the semester/session for which you wish to enroll. When approved, you will receive an NSHE student ID number via email.
- Have a parent or guardian complete the ASC Dual Enrollment Participation Form.
- Contact the front desk of the Academic Success Center at 702-895-3177, mention that you are a dual enrollment student, and set up an appointment (virtual or in-person) with an Exploring/Non-Degree Seeking Advisor. All high school students are required to meet with an advisor to discuss course planning, enrollment procedures, and program resources.
- Enroll in UNLV classes.
*Please note that all students MUST be recognized by the state of Nevada as being current high school students (Freshmen through Senior) to participate.
Partnerships
The ASC partners with numerous units across campus. One area of partnership that is particularly important to high-achieving high school students is the UNLV Honors College. We encourage all of our dual enrollment students who are high school seniors to apply to the UNLV Honors College.
