Permits are required Monday-Thursday 7am – 7pm and Friday 7am – 1pm. There are a variety of permits—daily, weekly, monthly or annually—available for purchase at Parking and Transportation Services on the main campus. Daily ($3) and weekly ($7) permits are available at the Information Desk at the Paradise campus. Visit parking.unlv.edu for the most up-to-date information.

Disability Services Through an active and continuing affirmative action program, the university provides equal opportunity and treatment in employment, admissions, and all programs in an effort to avoid discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, and disability. If you have a documented disability requiring assistance, you will need to contact the Disability Resource Center to coordinate necessary academic accommodations. The Disability Resource Center is located on the main campus and can be reached at 702-895-0866.

Student Privacy In accordance with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas policy and the U.S. Family Education

Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), UNLV vigorously protects the privacy of student education records. UNLV does not release private records of individual students, such as grades and class schedules, without prior written consent of the student. As permitted under federal law, the sole exception to the above practice is the release of “directory” information considered to be public in nature and not generally deemed to be an invasion of privacy. At UNLV, the following categories are defined as “directory” information: name, address, email address, telephone number, dates of attendance, full-time/parttime status, academic major, college and grade level, heights and weights of members of athletic teams, academic honors, other academic institutions recently attended, participation in UNLV organizations, and degrees earned and dates attended.

Books and Supplies Unless otherwise noted in the course description, all books and class-specific supplies are included in your registration payment.

Class Cancellations We reserve the right to cancel class or make any changes to the schedule deemed necessary in order to provide our students with the best educational experience.

Refunds We recognize you may occasionally need to cancel a registration. Unless a separate policy is stated for a specific class or classes, the following applies to all cancellations and refunds: Prior to the first day of class 100 percent of the fee paid will be refunded minus a $10 administrative fee. If you wish to receive a refund, we must receive a written statement (email, fax, or postal mail) listing the course name and number, and giving the reason for cancellation. Requests for refunds can be emailed to continuing.education@unlv.edu, faxed to 702-895-4195, or mailed to Continuing Education, 4505 S. Maryland Parkway, Box 451019, Las Vegas, NV 89154-1019. There will be no refunds issued after the first class. The complete refund policy can be found by visiting continuingeducation.unlv.edu/ registration-policies.

Wait Lists All of our classes have a maximum number of seats available for registration. With our enrollments increasing and courses becoming more and more popular, we are seeing more classes than ever filling up. Once a class fills up, we will have to put you on a wait list. If a seat in the class becomes available or if we have enough people on the wait list to open a new section, we will contact you. Register early to assure yourself a seat in the class.

CEUs A number of courses in this catalog offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The Continuing Education Unit is a standard unit of measure for quantifying continuing adult education and training activities. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation in an organized education/training experience under responsible, qualified direction and instruction.

Attendance Policy Attendance is required for all Continuing Education classes. Please communicate with your instructor on what to do if you need to miss a class.

Student Code of Conduct A detailed Student Code of Conduct policy is available on the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs’ website. Students are responsible for adhering to this code of conduct while participating in all UNLV programs and services.
