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 is only 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 must register for Nellis classes in person at the UNLV-Nellis Campus Office located on the Air Force Base. Students must follow the steps listed below during the registration period:

  • Registration is open to civilians at 1:30 p.m. each weekday during the registration period only. Please plan on meeting the Nellis Coordinator at 1:30 p.m. at the Nellis AFB Visitors' Center.
  • Complete and submit the On-Line Visit Request Form to let the Nellis staff know what day you plan on visiting the Nellis Office.
  • Meet the Program Coordinator at the Nellis Visitor's Center on the date you indicated on the On-Line Visit Request Form. Be sure to have your current Driver's License, current vehicle registration and proof of current auto insurance with you.
  • The Coordinator will sponsor you on base and you be issued a one-day Visitor's Pass so that you may proceed to the UNLV-Nellis Office.
  • Once you reach the UNLV-Nellis Office, you will complete a course registration form and a request form for a Visitor's Pass that will be valid through the length of your class.

Attending Class & the Visitor's Pass: The Visitor's Pass allows civilians to enter the Air Force Base only during class times and restricts students to visiting the building in which classes are held. If found anywhere else on the base, at any other time, the student will be escorted off of the base by military police. Also, by obtaining the Visitor's Pass, students are agreeing to adhering to the following terms:

  • Please keep in mind that your access to the base is a privilege and not a right. Security forces can revoke this privilege at any time; you are required to follow any instructions and or warnings they may give you.
  • By accepting the Nellis AFB Visitor Pass, you are giving your consent to the Air Force to complete a background check.
  • Your access on base is limited to the MPF building (aka Building 20).
  • The speed limit on base is 25 mph unless otherwise posted.
  • You and your car are subject to search at any time.
  • No guests are allowed on base with you.
  • Cell phone use while driving is prohibited unless using a hands-free device.
  • You are solely responsible for towing fees, if they should occur.
  • All passes must be returned to your instructor the last time your class meets. If you fail to do so, you will not be allowed to return for future classes.
