   After you have been admitted to UNLV, the ESSC Advising Team will review your transcripts to verify that all general education courses (GEs) have been completed. Only students who have completed all general education courses will be admitted to PPP. Students who have general education courses to complete will be made aware of any GEs left to fulfill before PPP admission can be granted.
3. PPP Team Review
   The PPP Team will review supplemental applications for candidates who have gained admission to UNLV and who have completed all GE courses. Successful applicants will be invited to the NV-EPIC PPP Bridge Experience, the first component of PPP.

Acceptance to UNLV does not guarantee admission into the PPP program. After being accepted to UNLV, PPP candidates must also complete the following to be considered for the program:

1. Submit the PPP supplemental application to be reviewed by your academic department and the PPP Team and
2. Undergo a transcript review to determine if all required general education courses have been completed. This is a critical step and will not be completed until after you have been admitted to UNLV.

Successful candidates entering the PPP Program must have completed all required General Education courses (GEs) prior to being accepted to the PPP Program.

HOWEVER… Students who have not completed their Gen Eds, should still apply for PPP!… We have programs that can help fund tuition/fees for the required courses you have left to complete in order to make you eligible for a future cohort of PPP. 

No, you do not need to reapply to UNLV.

Instead, send an email to the  NV-EPIC team requesting the Supplemental PPP Application . Be sure to include 1) full name; 2) NSHE ID; 3) current program/major; and 4) the request for supplemental application.

College-level coursework from regionally accredited institutions will generally transfer to UNLV. Remedial coursework and vocational coursework will not transfer. Religion courses from private institutions will not transfer. 

For more detail, you can create a free account in  Transferology Go to “Will my Courses Transfer?” and plug in your courses from your institutions to see if and how they transfer over to UNLV. The courses labeled “Maybe” are mostly transferable as lower or upper-division electives, if not as exact matches. 

If you are interested in finding out if your courses transfer, please select the upper right hand side box labeled “Request Information”. Please allow 3-5 business days to process your request. Log back into your Transferology Account to check the status of your request. 

UNLV will complete an internal evaluation of any international transfer credits. Please visit the International Students website to learn more about how to submit your college/university transcripts for evaluation.

If you repeat a transferable course at the same institution, the first attempt will not be included in GPA calculation for admission. UNLV does not recognize academic renewal or forgiveness policies from other institutions. To convert quarter credits to the semester credits value, multiply credits by two and divide by three (two-thirds ratio). For admissions purposes, credits do not expire, and all earned credits will be evaluated.

Nontraditional credits, including but not limited to AP (Advanced Placement), CLEP, and Dantes, may be applied toward your degree, although nongraded credits will not count toward the transferable total for admission. A maximum of 60 nontraditional credits can be used toward a degree at UNLV.

The fee to apply to UNLV pays for the necessary review of your transcripts by both UNLV Admissions Counselors as well as Education Student Services Center Advisors; These reviews cannot be conducted without paying the application fee.

HOWEVER… Students who have not completed their Gen Eds, should still apply for PPP!… We have programs that can help fund tuition/fees for the required courses you have left to complete in order to make you eligible for a future cohort of PPP.
