Important
Information About Registration & Attending Class at Nellis
Air Force Base
Civilian
students are welcome and encouraged to complete
course work at the Nellis AFB Campus. However, due to the nature
of the agreement between UNLV and the Air Force and more importantly
due to security concerns, there are restrictions that govern how
civilian students register and attend courses on the military
installation. Members of the military community are given priority
when enrolling in classes on base.
When
to Register: In order to ensure that all members of the
military community have an equal opportunity to enroll in classes,
registration at Nellis is open two weeks prior to
the start of each eight-week term. For specific dates, please
consult the Academic
Calendar or individual Class
Schedule.
How
to Register: Civilian students can register for Nellis
classes in person at the UNLV-Nellis Campus Office located at
the Nellis AFB or using Online Registration. Students must follow the steps listed below
during the registration period:
- Registration at Nellis
is open to civilians at 1:30 p.m. each weekday during the registration
period only. Please plan on meeting the Nellis Coordinator at

any other time, the student will be escorted off of the base by
military police. Also, by obtaining the Visitor's Pass, students

time; you are required to follow any instructions and or warnings
