Confidentiality of Student Records: In accordance with institutional policy and the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), the University vigorously protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA affords eligible students (both current and former) certain rights with respect to their education records including the right to review, inspect, and challenge the accuracy of their records.
FERPA also prohibits the institution from disclosing personally identifiable information (PII) from the student’s education records without prior written consent unless an exception to the general consent rule applies. 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 the University, the following categories are defined as “directory” information: student name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and athletics (including Greek organizations), weight and height measurements for members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, enrollment status (full-, half- or part-time; undergraduate or graduate), degrees and awards received, and listings of the most recent educational agency or institution attended. A student has the right to request non-disclosure of directory information. If a student does not restrict the release of this information, it is probable that the information will be released or disclosed during your enrollment at the University. The University uses directory information for non-commercial, educational purposes, such as to mail notices to students about changes in policies, services, or opportunities. Directory information may also be provided for commercial purposes to businesses affiliated with the institution, honor societies, the alumni association and foundation, or other individuals for purposes that may be beneficial to students. The University exercises discretion in responding to requests for directory information and may or may not provide such information when requested, depending on the intended purpose of the request. The University does not sell or rent student information for a fee.
It is important for a student to consider carefully the potential consequences of restricting the release of directory information. If a student restricts release for non-commercial educational purposes, the University will be unable to place the student’s name in publications such as honors and graduation programs; to confirm graduation and dates of attendance to potential employers; to verify enrollment with organizations such as insurance companies; or to send notifications about specialized scholarships without the express written authorization of the student. If, after due consideration, you wish to restrict the release of your directory information, you must select the appropriate option online by logging on to the MyUNLV system. This directive, upon receipt and processing, will apply permanently to your education record moving forward until you choose to reverse it by submitting a written authorization.
Last, an eligible student has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education (Dept. of Education) concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. You may file a complaint with either the Registrar’s Office (registrar@unlv.edu) or with the U.S. Department of Education Student Privacy Policy Office via email at FERPA.Complaints@ed.gov or physically mail it to 400 Maryland Ave. SW Washington, DC 20202-8520.

Diversity at UNLV: The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), along with other research-intensive public universities in the United States, recognizes that a student body that is diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class background, sexual orientation, gender identity, and geography among other dimensions of cultural difference, benefits and enriches the educational experiences of all students, faculty and staff. Accordingly, UNLV strives to recruit students who will further enrich this diversity and to foster their academic and personal success as integral members of our campus community. The presence and achievement of students from historically underrepresented groups at UNLV not only benefits these students individually, but also enhances the educational and interpersonal experiences of everyone in our campus community. UNLV actively encourages applicants whose racial and ethnic background are underrepresented in higher education in Nevada, who are first-generation college students, and/or those who have demonstrated financial need.
Equal Opportunity/Title IX Statement: NSHE and the University are committed to providing a place of work and learning free of discrimination, including admissions, on the basis of sex/gender pursuant to Title IX, or on the basis of any other legally protected category as is set forth in NSHE Handbook Title 4, Chapter 8, Section 13. Reports of discriminatory misconduct, questions regarding Title IX, and/or concerns about noncompliance with Title IX or any other anti-discrimination laws or policies should be directed to the University’s Title IX Coordinator.
The Title IX Coordinator can be reached through the online reporting form, by email at titleixcoordinator@unlv.edu, by phone at (702) 895-4055, by mail at 4505 S. Maryland Parkway, Box 451062, Las Vegas, NV, 89154-1062, or in person at Frank and Estella Beam Hall (BEH), Room 555.
