Silver State Transfer Program
CO ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO
Students who intend to transfer to UNR after completing their associate degree at WNC may consider co-admission at UNR. By participating, they have the opportunity to work one-on-one with advising specialists as they transition to the University of Nevada, Reno. The purpose of the program is to support community college students as they prepare to transfer, ensuring a smooth transition to the baccalaureate degree. Students who are in the program may take courses from both the community college and the university at the same time that they are pursuing their transferable associate degree. The community college remains the home campus for co-admitted students.
