Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male or Female, 18-65 years of age at the time of enrollment;
* Ability to understand and provide written informed consent;
* Candidate for primary renal allograft from either living or deceased donor;
* No known contraindications to study therapy using NULOJIX® (belatacept);
* Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test upon study entry;
* Participants with reproductive potential must agree to use an appropriate method(s) of birth control as outlined in the CellCept® , Myfortic® or generic package labeling during participation in the study and for 4 months following completion of the study;
* No donor specific antibodies prior to transplant that are considered to be of clinical significance by the site investigator;
* Negative crossmatch or Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) of 0% on historic and current sera, as determined by each participating study center;
* A documented negative tuberculosis (TB) test within the 6 months prior to transplant. If documentation is not present at the time of transplantation, and the subject does not have any risk factors for TB, a TB-specific interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) may be performed.
Exclusion Criteria:

* Recipient of previous organ transplant;
* Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) seronegative (or unknown) recipients;
* Active infection including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV);
* Individuals who have required treatment with prednisone or other immunosuppressive drugs within 1 year prior to transplant;
* Individuals undergoing transplant using organs from extended criteria donor (ECD) or donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors;
* Histocompatibility antigen (HLA) identical living donors;
* Individuals at significant risk of early recurrence of the primary renal disease including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 2 or any other disease that in the opinion of the investigator is at increased likelihood of recurrence and which may result in rapid decline in renal function;
* Known history of thrombotic events or risk factors, including any of the following:
* Factor V Leiden, elevated homocysteine, positive lupus anticoagulant, elevated anticardiolipin antibody, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia,
* A family history of a heritable thrombotic condition,
* Recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary emboli (PE),
* Unexplained stillborn infant or recurrent spontaneous abortion or other congenital or acquired thrombotic disorder.
At the discretion of the investigator, a history of thrombosis of a dialysis access graft, fistula, or indwelling catheter/device may not be considered an exclusion criterion.
* Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements;
* Use of investigational drugs within 4 weeks of enrollment;
* Known hypersensitivity to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)or any of the drug's components;
* Administration of live attenuated vaccine(s) within 8 weeks of enrollment;
