Why take this class?
This course is now required for all newly admitted students in the UNLV College of Sciences. Normally, students must have a GPA of 3.0 for admission beginning Fall 2008. Students whose high school GPA is between 2.75 and 3.0 and who pass this course may be admitted to UNLV under special consideration. College students who take a course like this are more likely to graduate in four years, less likely to enroll in the wrong class, less likely to flunk a course, less likely to get into trouble for plagiarism, more likely to have clear career plans, and more likely to graduate with the right degree for their career.

Out of the recently concluded Legislative Session, Senate Bill 534 amended Nevada law to provide for increased protection of school facilities, personnel, and most importantly our students. To that end, the jurisdiction of School Police now extends to the streets adjacent to school property for the purpose of issuing traffic citations for violations during school and school related activities. School Police officials have informed us that they will be actively citing drivers engaging in illegal and potentially dangerous activities. This new ticketing authority is applicable to both moving and nonmoving traffic violations. Your child’s safety is our #1 priority. By promoting, following, and enforcing traffic safety rules in and around our campus, we can share in creating a greater level of security for all of our children.
