Admissions Information

Nevada State University (Nevada State) admits students in alignment with the University’s founding mission: to expand access to baccalaureate education for the citizens of Nevada, as directed by the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents.

Nevada State recognizes that a student body diverse in race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, geography, and other dimensions of cultural difference enriches the educational experience for all students, faculty, and staff. Accordingly, the University is committed to recruiting students who contribute to this diversity and to supporting their academic and personal success throughout their time on campus. The presence and achievement of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups not only benefit those students individually but also enhance the learning and interpersonal experiences of the entire campus community.

Prospective students are advised that they must provide complete and accurate information on their admissions application, residency questionnaire, and financial aid forms. All applicants must also present satisfactory evidence of good moral character—such as a certificate of graduation or honorable dismissal from their most recently attended school—and submit authentic, official transcripts of all previous academic work.
