We accept both the Common Application or our UNLV Application for incoming first-year students only. There is no preference given to either the UNLV Application or the Common Application – we recommend you choose the most convenient application for you.
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.
- ACT or SAT Scores – Test scores are not required for admission but are encouraged for UNLV course placement. Request to have your scores sent to UNLV from ACT or College Board when you register for the test.

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.
