New Student Checklist
Congratulations on your admission to UNLV! Below is a "to do" list of tasks that will need your attention before the first day of class. Checking off items early will help you avoid the rush and missed deadlines.
If you've applied to UNLV but haven't yet received a response, you can check the status of your application file online.
- Submit Immunization Records to the Enrollment Services Center (SSC C). Fax: 702-895-1118.
All students need to have immunization records on file. Submit your existing records, or receive immunizations at a reduced price at the Student Health Center.
- Activate Your Rebelmail Account.
Make sure you activate and use Rebelmail, as it is one of the primary ways you'll receive official university communications. Semester bills are sent through your Rebelmail account instead of postal mail.
- Apply for Financial Aid.
Last year, more than 20,000 UNLV students used loans, grants, scholarships, and work-study programs to help pay for tuition, fees, books, and/or living expenses.
- Apply for On-Campus Housing/Make
Housing Arrangements.
Make the most of your college experience by selecting Campus Housing as your new home.
- Meet With an Academic
Advisor.
Start your academic career on the right path by getting academic advising before you register for classes.
- Register for Courses.
The registration schedule indicates when you can register depending on your class standing and the first letter of your last name. Review the online registration guide to understand the course registration process.
- Pay Your Tuition and Fees.
Your spring semester tuition and fees are due by January 9th to avoid a late penalty. You may pay your education expenses monthly by using our interest-free payment option available to all students.
- Obtain Your RebelCard.
Your RebelCard is more than your UNLV ID card. You'll need it to access many campus facilities, programs, and services. Once you have registered for classes, wait two business days and go to the Student Union with a photo ID to get your RebelCard.
- R.S.V.P.
for New Student Orientation.
New Student Orientation on January 8th introduces new students, transfer students, and their parents to UNLV.
- Attend the Rebel Connection.
This weeklong program includes residence hall move-in, New Student Orientation, Ask Me! information booths around campus, and a wide array of services and social events.
- Purchase Your Textbooks.
We recommend you purchase your textbooks before classes start. You can request new or used textbooks, if available. Books can be shipped to your home, or you can pick them up on campus.
- Purchase Your Parking Permit.
Parking in any lot on campus, except Lot S on Harmon Avenue and Swenson Street, requires a parking permit.
- Activate
Computer Accounts.
Activate your computer accounts at any computer lab on campus once you've enrolled and have your RebelCard.
