Transferring to UNR

More LTCC students transfer to UNR than any other four year institution! UNR has provided detailed major preparation information for most of their majors.

Following is information on transferring to UNR. However, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you meet with an LTCC counselor to design an educational plan which will map out what you need to do, quarter by quarter, in order to transfer successfully.

How many units and what GPA are needed to transfer?
Students can transfer to UNR with a minimum of 36 transferable quarter credits with a 2.5 GPA. However, the majority of UNR transfer students complete as much general education and major preparation as possible prior to transfer.

What courses should a student complete in order to prepare for a specific major at UNR?
If students are undecided on their major at UNR, they should follow the UNR Transfer Core Curriculum, the IGETC, or the CSU general education patterns. However, if a student knows what major they are pursuing, they should follow that specific major sheet because university core requirements can change somewhat by major. Students should complete all available LTCC courses that prepare a student for their chosen major. Major preparation sheets are available on the web.

How much does it cost to attend UNR?
As of Summer 2011, UNR has eliminated the "Good Neighbor" policy, but the WUE(Western Undergraduate Exchange) is still in place. The WUE program provideds California residents with significantly reduced tuition. Students must have a 3.0 GPA to apply for WUE status.

When should I apply?
Although there is no specific deadline for applying to UNR, students applying for fall semester entrance should submit their application by the February 1st priority filing deadline to be considered for scholarships.
