    • Institutional Aid Application (IAA): Incoming undergraduate first-year and transfer students are required to complete the IAA to be considered for institutional grants and scholarships.
      • To complete the IAA, log in to the Rebel Success Hub using the same email and password from your admission application. If you haven’t started an application, create a profile.
    • Submit your financial aid applications by the March 15 priority deadline to receive priority consideration for institutional grants and scholarships, and early financial aid estimates. Applications open October 1 for the following academic year.

  • Activate your ACE Account and Set up Okta and Multifactor Authentication 
    Your ACE account allows you to log in to various UNLV services and applications, including the Rebel Success Hub, and on-campus computers with just one username and password. You will also need to set up Okta and Multifactor Authentication using a smartphone.
