Out of State transfer questions

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey guys I currently live in California and want to transfer to UNLV. I want to work for a year and become a resident and then continue school after that. I have a few questions though how do I check if my classes are articulated through an out of state college? assist.org only helps with in state type things. Originally I was going to transfer from Mount San Jacinto College to Cal State Fullerton. If I followed assist.org and continued doing that would the classes transfer over to UNLV? Is there some way to check?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>you have to write to UNLV about the class. Normally they do not consider you as an in-state if your parents are not resident of NV,</p>

<p>Use the Transfer Course Equivalency Table at UNLV to see which classes will transfer. Information here -
<a href=“http://www.unlv.edu/registrar/transferring/transfer-course-tables”>http://www.unlv.edu/registrar/transferring/transfer-course-tables&lt;/a&gt; - click on “equivalency table” at the bottom of the page. </p>

<p>As far as working a year and gaining residency, it looks like you can gain instate residency if you live in the state for 12 months <a href=“Nevada Residency”>http://www.unlv.edu/admissions/residency&lt;/a&gt; . Reading the application for residency if you are applying as a financial independent student, you would have to be living in Nevada and self-supported for 12 months prior to submitting application (and submitting proof), and must submit parents tax returns indicating you were not claimed as a dependent by either parent. <a href=“http://www.unlv.edu/assets/admissions/docs/residency-app.pdf”>http://www.unlv.edu/assets/admissions/docs/residency-app.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>If you’re going to establish residency, make sure you follow all the steps and get on it right away. Get a Nevada drivers license right away, close all of your bank accounts and open up new ones in Nevada, register as a NV voter etc. </p>

<p>Out of state transfers are a little harder to evaluate with transfer guides. Those are normally state specific. The best thing to do is look through the catalog to see what kinds of classes fulfill their different requirements and see how your classes match up. For instance, an intro sociology class at one school is likely to fulfill a social science requirement at most schools. </p>
