Event Details
Rebel Ready Week 2026 Kicks Off on Monday, August 17, at 10 a.m. Stay tuned for our exciting Kick-Off and Keynote Sessions livestreams.
Rebel Ready Week is designed to help undergraduate students gain a sense of belonging and prepare them for a less stressful first year and a more successful college experience overall. Rebel Ready Week takes place the week before the fall semester.
All incoming first-year undergraduate students are required to attend Rebel Ready Week. You’ll be assigned to a group and paired with a Rebel Ready Week leader. Together you'll participate in small and large group sessions, listen to keynote speakers, meet new people, and attend various workshops. Throughout the week, you'll also have the chance to attend breakout sessions on topics that interest you based on the Rebel Ready Week Pillars. Optional evening programming will let you continue to have fun and connect with other students!
Rebel Ready Week Pillars:
- Rebel Success
- Rebel Life
- Rebel Community
- Rebel Wellness
- Rebel Forever
Undergraduate Students
Registration will open after New Student Orientation. You will learn more at your orientation session.
Graduate Students
In conjunction with Rebel Ready Week, newly admitted graduate students will participate in Graduate College Day. The day will be filled with graduate students-specific programming.
Parents & Families
Rebel Ready Week is designed specifically for students to begin building connections with their peers, engaging in campus life, and transitioning into their new role as college students, therefore all Rebel Ready Week events are open to UNLV students ONLY. To support that transition, we encourage families to say their goodbyes on Sunday so that students are fully present and ready to begin their college journey on Monday. We appreciate your understanding and support as your student takes this important first step toward independence and success at UNLV.
