Are registration and fee payment in Summer the same as in Fall or Spring?
No! The registration process is the same, but the refund policy, drop policy, and penalties are different. The summer procedures are described throughout this website and in the printed schedule. The Summer Term Office, (702) 895-3711, will be happy to answer your questions and help you to avoid penalties.

Is there a limit on the number of credits that I can take during Summer?
Six credits in a five-week session is considered a full load. One credit in one week or three credits in three weeks is also considered a full load. For a five-week session, a student may register for seven credits without filling out an overload petition only if the student is enrolled in one three-credit and one four-credit course. The courses must meet for all five weeks of the session. Any other seven-credit combination requires a completed overload petition on file at the Registrar's Office.

Failure to file an overload petition will result in being administratively dropped from the last class in which you enrolled.

How do I register or change my registration?
Log on to the WEB for Online Registration. Call numbers for each course and registration dates are listed in the Summer Term schedule and on the website.

Is there a way to confirm my registration?
Yes, log on to Online Registration to list your classes. It is a good idea to verify your registration by checking the system a short time after you have completed a transaction. Always check your transaction after making changes. Checking will help to avoid penalties.

If I decide not to attend a course, do I have to do anything?
Yes! Once you have used Online Registration to register for a course, you have told us you are coming to class and we have saved a place for you. You are responsible for all course fees even if you do not attend the course, unless you drop on time. Consult the website or printed schedule for the summer drop policies. They are not the same as in Fall and Spring.

Should I wait to receive a bill to pay for my classes?
No, UNLV does not send bills in summer.

Why doesn’t UNLV send bills in Summer?
Many students add and drop courses repeatedly throughout the summer. There is not enough time to send a corrected bill each time a student drops or adds a course.

When should I pay for my classes?
Pay for Session 1 courses on or before Friday, May 7; Session 2 courses on or before Friday, May 28; and Session 3 courses on or before Friday, July 2. Late fees are assessed for late payments. Special courses that have unusual starting dates may have special payment dates. These dates are listed in the schedule along with the course descriptions.

How can I pay for my classes?
There are four (4) methods of payment. You may pay by credit card (Discover, MasterCard, American Express, VISA) using the WEB at the time you register or at a later time; you may put a check or money order (no cash) into one of the drop boxes on campus; you may mail your check or money order (no cash); or you may pay in person at the Cashier’s Office on campus. Whatever method you choose, please do so in a timely manner to avoid late penalties.

Is financial aid available in the summer?
Yes, refer to the Financial Aid website for information regarding financial aid during the summer.

Can I use my Millennium Scholarship during the summer?
All fees must be paid by the date they are due. Students on Millennium Scholarships must pay their fees when due and reimbursement for eligible Millennium Scholars will be automatically mailed in the Fall.

When is the late payment period?
Each of the three summer sessions has its own late payment period. The dates are listed on the website under Dates and Deadlines and in the printed schedule. Special courses have their own late payment periods.

How much is the late payment fee?
The late payment fee is $25 per day.

What happens if I use the WEB to register for a course and do not go to any of the classes?
That depends on whether you have paid or not. If you have paid and you do not drop, UNLV assumes you are in the course. You are subject to a grade, and the instructor must assign you a grade of F for the course. You will receive no refund unless you drop according to the drop policy. See the Dates and Deadlines. If you do not pay and do not drop the course, you will be purged for nonpayment and will owe 50% of the fees.

Why do I have to pay if I do not attend any classes?
Summer Term is self-supporting. We depend on what you tell us when we decide to cancel a course or let it run. That decision is made based on the fact that you said you were taking the course. When a course is full and you are holding space in the class, it means some other student cannot register. You can avoid penalties by following the rules in this schedule. Remember Summer policies are not the same as those in Fall or Spring.

Will I receive a receipt if I pay by credit card over the WEB?
Your credit card statement will be your receipt.

My credit card statement is mailed to my home address out of state. Is there a way to make sure my credit card was charged?
Yes, log on to the WEB three to five days after making payment to verify your credit card was charged. Credit card companies may refuse your payment for a variety of reasons. Remember that it is your responsibility to make sure UNLV receives payment on time.

How long do I have to drop a course and not receive a grade?
You may drop a course and receive no grade if you drop on or before the day when 60% of the course is complete. The registrar determines the exact dates, and they are listed under Dates and Deadlines.

When do I have to drop a course if I want a 100% refund?
For a Session 1 course, drop on or before May 7; for Session 2, May 28; and for Session 3, July 2 and you will receive a 100% refund. Special courses have special drop dates listed with the course description. See Dates and Deadlines for further details.

What is the 50% refund period?
For Session 1 it is May 10-May 12; for Session 2, June 1-June 7; and for Session 3, July 6-July 12. Please refer to Dates and Deadlines or to the course description for Special courses.

What do I do if I need to change sections or courses after the session begins?
During the late registration period you may drop a course and/or add another course on the same day. The courses should carry the same number of credits and should have the same late registration period. This is called an OFFSET. The system cannot distinguish an OFFSET from any other drop and the system will assess drop penalties and late registration penalties. You must inform the Registrar's Office of the OFFSET in person in order to remove the penalty.

Where can I purchase a parking permit?
Parking Permits may be purchased on-line at Parking & Transportation Services. Your parking permit will arrive by mail within one week. You may also purchase parking permits at the Department of Public Safety. Parking regulation requires the proper permit BEFORE a vehicle is parked on campus. For more information please call (702) 895-1300.
