A non-degree seeking student is one who has not been admitted to the university. A non-degree seeking status is defined as any person approved by the Admission's Office to enroll in UNLV courses for the purpose of personal enrichment, professional development, or to improve their academic record in order to be reconsidered for admission after denial of admission for insufficient academic credentials.

A maximum of 24 credits earned while a non-degree seeking student may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree.

When taking classes at UNLV as a non-degree seeking student you must comply with the university and college policies. You may consult the undergraduate catalog for details regarding the university policies.
