Step one: Create your application account

Step two: Complete your application for admission
The application portal will guide you through your online application specific to your student type*. Once finished, verify your information and click the “Finalize application and pay” button (link) to proceed to payment page.
Your application is not finalized until you submit your application fee.
*Returning students must complete a returning student application for readmission to the University.
Step three: Pay your application fee
After finalizing your online application, you'll be prompted to pay a non-refundable $60 application fee, payable by credit card (Visa or Mastercard only). The application fee is only valid for the semester in which you apply and cannot be deferred or transferred to another semester. Application fee deferrals may be available.
Step four: Check confirmation emails and register your MyNEVADA account
Once payment is made a confirmation email will be sent immediately. Check your spam folder if not received and mark unr.edu as a safe sender to ensure future receipt of emails. An email containing MyNEVADA student portal activation information will be sent 24 to 48 hours after submitting the application and payment.
The email sent 24 to 48 hours later will contain your student ID number and steps to create your MyNEVADA account. This account provides access to your student application dashboard, allows you to check your application status, accept or deny admission (if offered), review your fees, make payments and more.
