Academic Advising
Establishing a relationship with an academic advisor ensures that you meet degree requirements and accomplish your personal and educational goals.
First-year students will receive their class schedules during orientation and learn valuable information about degree requirements. Guests are not permitted to attend advising and class registration sessions with their students.
Your academic advisor will enroll you in the appropriate courses based on your major and official placement information submitted to the Office of Admissions. If you do not have official placement scores or wish to improve your placement, review the UNLV Placement Assessment options. Official placement information must be submitted to the Office of Admissions prior to your scheduled orientation.
Family and Guests
Family members and guests are invited to attend UNLV Family Orientation.
We are also hosting a unique program to address the questions that family members from Hawaii typically have during New Hawaii Student Orientation in Hawaii. Registration will open in February.
If you cannot attend the program offered in Hawaii, there are other event options to attend virtually.
