You can't have UICollectionViewCell when the UICollectionView is on a Nib. What you need to do is to create the UICollectionViewCell as another nib and get it registered in the class that you are using for your CollectionView.

Create a new nib, drag a UICollectionViewCell inside it, and do something like this in the class that works with your UICollectionView.

override func awakeFromNib() {
    let nibName = UINib(nibName: "ClassCollectionCell", bundle:nil)
    collectionView.registerNib(nibName, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell")
}

Remember you can add a custom class to the UICollectionViewCell so you can pass dynamic data to it.
