Any member of the public is entitled to inspect, copy, or receive a copy of public books and records in the custody of UNLV, subject to applicable legal requirements and this policy statement.

Although the request need not be in writing, the requester should submit a written request to better facilitate the process. You can submit a request for public records in one of the following ways:

1. Through the UNLV Public Records Page (preferred)
2. Send an email to: publicrecords@unlv.edu
3. Mail a letter to:
   
   Office of Public Affairs
   University of Nevada, Las Vegas
   4505 S Maryland Parkway
   Box 451012
   Las Vegas, NV 89154-1012

The university makes every effort to respond no later than five (5) business days from the day after we receive the request, either with a response or with an estimate of when the records will be made available, as required by Nevada law. Some requests require additional time to gather records, review records for responsiveness, and perform legal review. Records that contain potentially confidential information will be redacted and/or withheld based on existing privileges under state and federal law and the NSHE Code.

We are ALL required to:

1. Maintain records in a manner which is secure, cost effective, easily accessible and protects the information contained within the record;
2. Protect confidential personal identifying information of employees and students; and
3. Adhere to the NSHE records retention schedule for retention, disposal and appropriate transfer of records.
