No. Faculty and staff are prevented from discussing any issues related to grades with parents under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Yes. Please contact the College of Liberal Arts Student center (775) 682-8745 to schedule an appointment regarding your probation.  

You can replace up to 30 credits, levels 100-499. Both courses have to be taken at the �Ƽ��Ӱ�ԭ�� and have to be the same course or cover the same course content. You can submit the electronically, via DocuSign. Please see an advisor for additional questions.

Independent study courses are for students completing research or extended studies in conjunction with a faculty member sponsor. These credits can be earned in a variety of ways: performing a research project with a faculty supervisor, working as a research assistant on a faculty research project, or participating in a special topics class. Independent study credit is not available for students who simply want or need upper division credit. Please contact the professor with whom you are seeking an independent study course to determine if you are eligible.

Please contact Internship Coordinator, Lauren Anderson.

Yes, some transfer credits will count for CRJ credit, but many transfer credits come in as lower division electives only. Classes from non-accredited universities are not accepted. If you are transferring to the �Ƽ��Ӱ�ԭ�� from another institution, it's best to coordinate with the other institution and the �Ƽ��Ӱ�ԭ�� admissions and records office to determine how many and which credits will transfer to this University. Also, to prepare and register for the first semester after your transfer, please contact the College of Liberal Arts Student Center (775) 682-8745 to schedule an appointment for transfer advisement.

Class substitutions are rare, but in some circumstances you can substitute a class you took at another university or in another department for a CRJ requirement. If you believe you have a course to substitute, contact an advisor to determine if you have a viable proposal.  

You need to complete a fourth semester (level 209 or 212) in a foreign language course or complete a fourth semester in American Sign Language (AM 148). Most students will need to complete all four semesters in a foreign language in order to complete the final courses (level 209, 212, or AM 148). 

You can also satisfy the requirement by taking a proficiency exam, or that you have participated in an approved study abroad program (contact the USAC office for information about the study abroad option and make sure to say that you want your study abroad experience to work toward your foreign language requirement). Contact the Department of World Languages and Literatures for more information.

You can satisfy the breadth requirement with two classes from a College of Liberal Arts program, but those classes cannot count toward your major, minor, or any University core requirements. To get credit for the breadth requirement, you must email the College of Liberal Arts Student Center to inform the College of which courses you have taken to satisfy your breadth requirement (also include your name and NSHE ID number). These courses will not automatically show up on your MyNevada academic report under the breadth requirement, so you must contact the College via email to ensure your classes are applied.

See an advisor/administrator in your desired minor course of study and they will assist you in declaring a minor with their department/program. Note: The Department of Criminal Justice does not offer a minor but criminal justice majors are required to declare a minor or complete the related subjects requirements. Also note: the law and justice major specialization does not require a minor.

Fill out a declaration/change of plan (major) form. Take it to your assigned advisor or to the criminal justice office (AB Room 601) and provided your GPA is at least a 2.0, we will sign your form and you will submit it to the Office of Admissions and Records on the 2nd floor of the Fitzgerald Student Services building.

No, sorry. Advisors cannot enroll you in a course that is full. You should first get on the class wait list if one exists; otherwise, you must contact the professor directly if you want permission to enroll in a course that is full.

Contact your advisor and explain the hold you are seeking to have lifted. Criminal justice advisors can only help you with advising holds and not any other holds (financial aid, athletic, or parking-ticket holds, for example).

The best way to determine what classes you need to take next semester is by viewing your academic advising report, which is an electronic checklist of your degree requirements. After you go to your report, click on "collapse all." Then review the sections for "University core curriculum requirements," "College of Liberal Arts," "criminal justice," and your minor (if you have selected one). Each of these sections will tell you what classes have been "satisfied" and what classes are "not satisfied" (you still need to complete). When you see a section that says "not satisfied," click the green arrow for a list of classes that will fill the requirement.

Freshmen: Academic advising is mandatory for freshmen preparing to register for their second semester. Freshmen must participate in a group advising session (typically held in late September/early October), after which an advisor will lift the registration hold on your MyNevada account. You will receive notice about group advising sessions in class, via email and on WebCampus.

Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are not required to meet with an advisor but are encouraged to do so if you have questions about particular requirements, courses or other academic issues. If you anticipate any special questions about registration, you should make an appointment with your advisor by April 1st for Fall registration and November 1st for Spring registration.

Graduating Seniors (90 credits or more): If you have earned more than 90 credits, it is critical that you see an advisor for a graduation check. The College of Liberal Arts Student center will help you regarding the process. Contact them (775) 682-8745 if you have questions.
