The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is responsible for allocating tickets to the university. The actual number of tickets available to the university is unknown at this time, but it is expected to be very limited. A priority of the university is to distribute tickets to current students through a computerized lottery system, as recommended by the CPD and consistent with the practice of past debate host sites. Registration for the student ticket lottery closed at 12 p.m. (PDT) on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2016. Only those students who have successfully completed registration for the lottery by that deadline are eligible to be selected.

There are no tickets available for the general public, faculty, alumni, or parents. Only current UNLV students are eligible to enter the UNLV Presidential Debate Student Ticket Lottery. In order to be eligible to win a ticket, students must meet the following criteria:

Be enrolled full time (12 credits for undergraduates and 6 credits for graduate students).

Be in good academic standing: minimum of 2.0 GPA for undergraduates and 3.0 for graduate students.

Must not have any pending/outstanding student conduct violations or disciplinary action.

When entering the lottery, students must consent to the following conditions:

By applying to participate in the UNLV Presidential Debate Student Ticket Lottery, if I am selected to receive a ticket, I agree to attend the October 19, 2016 Presidential Debate.
