• Submit Official Transcripts, including Military Training Transcripts
  You must submit official transcripts from each college or university you have attended to the Office of Admissions. If you have fewer than 24 transferable credits, you must also submit an official high school transcript. All military members using VA education benefits must submit their military training transcripts to the Office of Admissions. Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy members can request these transcripts electronically. Air Force members must contact Air University to request a transcript.
  • Undergraduate transcripts can be sent to ugdocuments@unlv.edu.
  • Graduate transcripts can be sent to gradadmissions@unlv.edu.
• Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships (if you haven’t already)
  • Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®): Incoming undergraduate first-year and transfer students are required to complete the FAFSA to receive consideration for both federal aid (grants, work-study, loans) and institutional grants and scholarships.
    • To submit the FAFSA, log in with your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.
    • UNLV's Federal School Code is 002569.
  • 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 priority deadline to receive priority consideration for institutional grants and scholarships, and early financial aid estimates. The deadline is November 15 for first-year students and March 15 for transfer students. Applications open October 1 for the following academic year.
• Apply for VA Education Benefits
  Determine your eligibility and apply for VA benefits. If your application is approved, you will receive a VA Certificate of Eligibility in approximately 30 days. You will upload a copy when requesting enrollment certification through the Military & Veteran Services Center (MVSC).
• 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.

• 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.
• Check MyUNLV
  Familiarize yourself with your MyUNLV account. Regularly check the Tasks tile for important notifications and any To Do List items. MyUNLV allows you to manage things such as registering for classes, checking grades, and paying your tuition and fees.
• Complete Checklist for your Chapter Benefits
  Review a detailed checklist of your chapter VA Education Benefits. Complete all items for the applicable chapter.
• Meet with your Academic Advisor
  All new students are required to meet with an Academic Advisor. Schedule an advising appointment through the Rebel Success Hub, using the same email address and password from your UNLV admission application. Make sure your Academic Advisor is aware of your use of VA education benefits, as they will be part of the certification approval process.
• Request Certification Each Semester
  Log in to MyUNLV. After enrolling in your required courses, navigate to the Rebel Student Homepage and select the Resources tile. Then, choose the VA Education Benefits. Please be prepared to upload documents such as your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and the NSHE Determination of Tuition Charges form if you did not graduate from a Nevada high school. MVSC will contact you through Rebelmail if additional information is needed.
• Submit 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.
