Your Next Steps after Being Admitted to UNLV

  • Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships
    The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Institutional Aid Application (IAA) are available beginning October 1. The FAFSA is required to apply for federal, state, and institutional aid. First-year students seeking institutional grants and scholarships must also complete the IAA.

    To receive priority consideration for institutional grants and scholarships, you must be admitted to UNLV and submit all financial aid applications by the November 15 priority deadline.
  • Check MyUNLV
    Familiarize yourself with your MyUNLV account. Regularly check the Tasks tile for important notifications and any To Do List items. Use MyUNLV to register for classes, check grades, and pay tuition and fees.
  • Provide Official Documents
    Before attending New Student Orientation, submit any final official documents to the Office of Admissions so that you will be placed in appropriate courses:
    • High School Transcript
    • College Transcript(s)
    • ACT/SAT Scores
    • AP/IB Test Scores
    • IB Certificate or Diploma Program
  • Review Your Course Placement
    Your Academic Advisor will enroll you in your first semester classes based on your major and the official documents you submitted to the Office of Admissions. Please review your placement for accuracy.
  • Consider a UNLV Placement Assessment
    If you feel that you have been placed in courses due to a lack of placement information or you want to improve your placement, contact your Academic Advisor to learn more about UNLV placement assessments.
  • Activate Your Rebelmail Account
    This is the university’s official means of communicating with you, and using your account is mandatory. When you activate your Rebelmail, you will have access to Google Workspace applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Drive.
  • Activate Your ACE Account and Okta Verify
    Your ACE account allows you to log in to various UNLV services and applications with just one username and password. You will also need to set up Okta multifactor authentication using a smartphone.
  • Use the Rebel Success Hub
    You can log in to the Rebel Success Hub with your ACE account to find answers to frequently asked questions, complete your financial aid verification, submit your immunization records, schedule an advising appointment, and request help from various offices.
  • Submit Your Immunization Records
    Students attending UNLV must meet immunization requirements. Proof of immunizations must be uploaded to the Rebel Success Hub as soon as possible to prevent registration holds.
  • Apply for Nevada Residency
    Nevada high school graduates are automatically considered in-state residents for tuition purposes. If you did not graduate from a Nevada high school and believe you qualify for in-state residency, review the residency application as soon as possible to determine your eligibility and apply with the required documentation.
  • Explore On-Campus Housing & Dining
    Make the most of your college experience by living on campus. First-year students from high schools outside Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or Pahrump who are enrolled in six or more credits are required to live on campus during their first year. Explore housing and dining options, including semester-based meal plans at the Dining Commons and across campus. The priority deadline to apply for housing and participate in roommate matching and room selection is June 1.
  • Attend New Student Orientation
