Finding information about applying for admission to UNLV just got that much easier. A new admissions website designed for prospective undergraduate students was launched this month.

The website, which can be found at , gives prospective students a single point of entry for all university admissions information.

Once students enter the site, they will find information specific to their academic status. Among the helpful checklists provided on the website are those concerning how to apply, when to apply, what to do after applying, and what to do after admission.

"We hear many of the same questions from prospective students," said Pamela Hicks, director of undergraduate recruitment. "This website was designed to answer some of those commonly asked questions. Students now have a comprehensive online resource where they can learn everything about applying to UNLV."

Earnest Phillips, director of marketing and public relations, described the new website as "a major leap into the online arena."
"This website will improve the level of service we provide students at a time when we find our student population growing significantly year after year," Phillips said. "We're improving services and using resources more efficiently and effectively by utilizing an online format rather than one that requires more paper and employees.

"When you also consider that students tell us they would rather complete admission tasks online rather than in person, over the phone, or via mail, it seems we've hit on a winning solution for both prospective students and the university," he said.

Phillips noted that fastWEB.com and Lipman Hearn's "Web Site 2000 Effectiveness Study" indicate that college-bound high school students rate college websites as their leading source of college information and closely equate the quality of a website with the quality of the institution itself.

The new site, which also can be accessed by going to UNLV's home page at and then clicking on "Thinking ��ҳ| �鶹��ýӳ�� Attending UNLV," resulted from the work of a committee that included representatives from the university's offices of marketing and public relations, web services, undergraduate recruitment, and student enrollment services.
