The University of Nevada, Las Vegas grants credit for courses taken through University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC). Generally, with the approval of department chairpersons, courses taken via USAC will be articulated exactly to existing UNLV courses. However, as programs have evolved and more students have chosen to study abroad, it has grown difficult to find exact UNLV equivalencies for study abroad courses in all cases. Accordingly, this policy spells out a procedure by which the Office of International Programs, in conjunction with the Office of the Registrar, will seek to grant academic credit for study abroad. In developing this process, we seek to gain approval from appropriate academic units and also to streamline student enrollment, progression, and graduation processes.
Using the swap option to change your classes protects your enrollment. The system will not drop you from a class you are currently enrolled in unless it can successfully add you to your new class. Swaps can be done via self-service until the end of the Add/Drop period for each term. After that time, all swaps must be processed by the Office of the Registrar in order to offset the fees for each course. During Late Enrollment, the Office of the Registrar can only process requests for swapping classes that are in the same session and for the same or more credits. We are unable to offset fees for swapping from a regular session to a mid-semester (or modular) course or swapping into a course that is less credits than the one you are swapping out of. These swaps must be done via self-service and will result in a W and no refund of fees for the dropped class.
To request a late swap, follow the procedure for Late Enrollment (above) and then submit your request to the Office of the Registrar.
