Welcome to UNLV! Every semester the Graduate College hosts the New Graduate Student Orientation for our incoming Grad Rebels. Whether you are new to campus or an alumnus you will learn important information unique to graduate studies at UNLV. You will also have a wonderful opportunity to meet other graduate students and get even more insider tips on how to survive and thrive in your graduate studies!

Beginning Jan. 2, 2026, new graduate students will have access to the New Graduate Student Orientation modules in their WebCampus/Canvas account. To prepare for life as a Grad Rebel, new graduate students are required to log in, listen to and interact with the modules, and complete the assigned tasks. The information in the modules is important for new Grad Rebels to know to be successful in their graduate program.
